Explorer 16 with PICtail for SD and MMC

Visit the Microchip web site to view the Explorer 16 Product Page and User's Guide, and the PICtail Board for SD and MMC, 

The Explorer 16 board can be expanded for SD card support using the PICtail^TM Board for SD and MMC. The daughterboard should be inserted into the top-most socket of the J5 header. The orientation of the daughterboard should be such that the card socket faces towards the Processor Interface Module. 

Check that:

1. Switch S2 selects PIM.
2. Jumper J7 selects PIC24.

The development board is now ready to use.

A few configuration settings are required to ensure that the MDDFS Interface Library will run on your hardware:

1. Start with an appropriate MPLAB IDE project:
   • 16-bit parts: MDD File System-SD Card\MDDFS-SD-PIC24.mcp
   • 32-bit parts: MDD File System-SD Card\MDDFS-SD-PIC32.mcp
2. Change the MPLAB IDE processor target selection to match the part installed on the Explorer 16 (e.x. PIC24FJ128GA010, PIC32MX360F256L).
