Overview
The dsPICDEM™ 2 Development Board is a development and evaluation tool that helps create embedded applications using dsPIC30F Digital Signal Controllers. Sockets are provided for 28 and 40-pin devices in the motor control family and 18, 28 and 40-pin devices in the general purpose and sensor family.
The board includes a sample dsPIC30F4011 Digital Signal Controller in the 40-pin motor control socket, a power supply regulator, crystal oscillators for each set of sockets, an ICD connector for the MPLAB® ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger and both RS-232 and CAN ports for external communication. In addition, the board is populated with prototyping hardware, including LED indicators, push button switches, a potentiometer, a temperature sensor and a 2x16 LCD screen. All pins on all the devices are accessible through headers.
For new designs, we recommend using the Explorer 16/32 Development Board and a dsPIC33 DSC Plug-In Module
Key features of the dsPICDEM 2 Development Kit include:
- Multiple sockets for 18, 28 and 40-pin PDIP and SPDIP devices
- Sample application programs complete with MPLAB IDE workspace and project files provided for supported dsPIC30F devices
- dsPIC30F4011 40-pin PDIP sample device installed on the board
- 5V regulator provides VDD and AVDD from a 9V DC power supply.
- MPLAB ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger ready
- Options for selecting alternate debugging channels
- MPLAB ICE 4000 ready
- RS-232 interface
- Controller Area Network (CAN) interface
- Temperature sensor and analog potentiometer to simulate A/D inputs
- 2 push button switches and 2 LED indicators to simulate digital input and output
- 2x16 ASCII Character LCD with SPI™ interface
- Access to all pins on the dsPIC30F device sockets via 2x40-pin headers
