Follow the instructions provided in the relevant manuals and install the dsPICFLASH program and USB driver from the product CD.
USB drivers are essential for the proper operation of the on-board programmer.
In case you already have one of the Mikroelektronika’s dsPIC compilers installed on your PC, there is no need to reinstall USB drivers
as they are already installed along with the compiler.
6WHS
Use the USB cable to connect the development system to a PC. One end of the USB cable, with a USB connector of B type, should
be connected to the development system, as shown in Figure 1-2, whereas the other end of the cable with a USB connector of A type
should be connected to a PC. When establishing a connection, make sure that jumper J11 is placed in the USB position as shown in
Figure 1-1.

Turn on your development system by setting the POWER SUPPLY switch to the ON position. Two LEDs marked as POWER and USB
LINK will be automatically turned on indicating that your development system is ready to use. Use the on-board programmer and the
dsPICFLASH program to dump a hex code into the microcontroller and employ the system to test and develop your projects.

2.0. Supported Microcontrollers
The BIGdsPIC6 development system provides a DIMM-168P connector to place an MCU card into. This development system comes
with an MCU card with a microcontroller in 80-pin TQFP package soldered on it, Figure 2-3. Besides, the MCU card alone provides an
oscillator as well as 80 soldering pads connected to the microcontroller pins. Each pad is marked the same as the pin it is connected
to. Soldering pads also make connection between the MCU card and target device’s modules easy.

The ICD connector enables communication between the microcontroller and an external ICD debugger/programmer (ICD2 or ICD3)
from Microchip. Jumpers J14 and J15 are used for selecting the pin to be fed with programming signal. For the programming signal to
be sent to the microcontroller, it is necessary to place both jumpers in the same position, as shown in Figure 4-3. Either RB0 and RB1
or RB6 and RB7 microcontroller pins can be fed with this signal. The position of jumpers J14 and J15 depends on the microcontroller
provided on the MCU card. When the dsPIC30F6014 microcontroller is programmed by means of the external ICD programmer,
jumpers J14 and J15 should be placed in the RB0 and RB1 position, respectively. In case some other microcontroller is used, it is
necessary to check which microcontroller pins can be fed with the programming signal.
