4.1. PICDEM Mechatronics Board Overview
• Mechatronics board hardware
• Mechatronics board connections
• Mechatronics board motor drives
The PICDEM mechatronics demonstration board (Figure 4.1), supplied by Microchip® Inc., is a very useful target system for C control applications. A user manual, which can be downloaded from www.microchip.com, contains the schematics and general guidance on using the board. It can be programmed using the ICD2 In-Circuit Debugger module, which allows a final stage of fault finding when testing an application in the target hardware. Alternatively, the low-cost PicKit2 programmer can be used. Since our applications here have been tested in simulation mode, the full ICD debugging interface is not needed.
