- Before inserting PIC18F87J50 PIM PIM in the PIC18 Explorer board, insure that the processor selector switch (S4) is in the “ICE” position as seen in the image below. Failure to so will result in difficulties in getting the PIC18F87J50 PIM to sit properly on the PIC18 Explorer.
- Note: The processor selector switch (S4) should be in “PIC® MCU” position when on board PIC18F8722 chip is used for the demo application.
- Be careful while inserting the PIC18F87J50 PIM into PIC18 board. Insure that no pins are bent or damaged during the process. Also insure that the PIM is not shifted in any direction and that all of the headers are properly aligned.
- On the SD Card PICTail™ Plus board, short JP1, JP2, and JP3 on the side farthest from the SD Card holder. Depending on the revision of the board you have the silk-screen on the board may incorrectly label the top as the “HPC-EXP” setting. Please ignore this silk screen and place the jumpers as described above and seen below.
- Insert the J4 port pins of SD Card PICTail™ Plus Daughter Card in the J3 port of PIC18 Explorer board with correct pin to pin mapping. Insert the SD Card in SD Card PICTail™ Plus Daughter board.
