2. Power supply
When the board is powered up the power indication LED will be automatically turned on. The USB connection can provide up to 500mA
of current which is more than enough for the operation of all on-board and additional modules.

You can program the microcontroller with bootloader which is
preprogrammed by default. To transfer .hex le from a PC to
MCU you need bootloader software (mikroBootloader USB
HID) which can be downloaded from:
Programming with mikroBootloader

01
To start, connect the USB cable, or if already connected
press the Reset button on your PIC clicker. Click the
Connect button within 5s to enter the bootloader mode,
otherwise existing microcontroller program will execute.
After the mikroBootloader software is downloaded, unzip it to
desired location and start it.

5. mikroProg Suite™for PIC®Software
The mikroProg™programmer requires
special programming software called
mikroProg Suite™for PIC®. It can be
used for programming all Microchip®mi-
crocontroller families, including PIC10®,
PIC12®, PIC16®, PIC18®, dsPIC30/33®,
PIC24®and PIC32®. The software has
intuitive interface and SingleClick™
programming technology. Just down-
load the latest version of mikroProg
Suite™and your programmer is ready
to program new devices. mikroProg
Suite™is updated regularly, at least
four times a year, so your programmer
will be more and more powerful with
each new release.

6. Buttons and LEDs
The board also contains 01 reset button and a pair of 02 buttons and 03 LEDs. Each of these additional peripheral are located in
the bottom area of the board. Reset button is used to manually reset the microcontroller. Pressing the reset button will generate low
voltage level on microcontroller reset pin. LEDs can be used for visual indication of the logic state on two pins (RA0 and RA1). An active
LED indicates that a logic high (1) is present on the pin. Pressing any of these buttons can change the logic state of the microcontroller
pins (RD2 and RD3) from logic high (1) to logic low (0).

Up to now, MikroElektronika has released more than 70
mikroBUS™compatible Click Boards™. On the average,
one click board is released per week. It is our intention
to provide you with as many add-on boards as possible,
so you will be able to expand your development board
with additional functionality. Each board comes with
a set of working example codes. Please visit the Click
boards™webpage for the complete list of currently
available boards:
