- Before attaching the PIM to the Explorer 16 board, insure that the processor selector switch (S2) is in the “PIM” position as seen in the image below.
- Short the J7 jumper to the “PIC24” setting
- Be careful while inserting the PIC24FJ256GB110 PIM or any other appropriate PIM into Exp 16 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.
- Short JP1 to SRC1 (i.e. RD1) or SRC2 (i.e. RB15) based upon the smart card clock pin configured in the firmware: Example: - Short JP1 to SRC1 while using PIC24FJ256GB110 demo and Short JP2 to SRC2 while using PIC32MX795F512L demo.
- Insert the J2 slot of SC (Smart/Sim Card) PICTail card into J5 port of Explorer 16 board. Make sure that the Smart Card Connector is facing towards the Explorer 16 board. Insert the Smart Card in SC PICTail board.
