Firmware
You will need two firmware packages, installed in the following order, for this Reference Implementation:
- Install the latest free Microchip Application Libraries with the TCP/IP Stack v5.25 or later.
- Install Microchip's Data Encryption Libraries (part number SW300052) for the SSL security layer to communicate with Google. The ARCFOUR.c/h and RSA.c/h cryptographic files in these libraries will replace the dummy versions found with the default TCP/IP Stack installation.
More detailed instruction is included in the Help file (Reference Implementation for Google PowerMeter Help.chm) of the Reference Implementation code.
Demonstration and Evaluation Boards
- Explorer 16 Development Board (Part Number: DM240001), which includes the PIC24FJ128GA010 and the dsPIC33FJ256GP710 Plug-in Modules (PIMs). For 32-bit Microcontroller demonstration, you can get the optional PIC32MX PIM (Part Number: MA320001) or PIC32MX USB PIM (Part Number: MA320002).
- One of the following PICtail Plus™ Daughter Boards for TCP/IP connectivity:

Hardware Tools
Software Tools
- MPLAB® Integrated Development Environment (IDE) (v8.43 or later) is an MS Windows® application that helps you write code that will run in an embedded application, and then enables you to test the application with various software and hardware components.
- For the WiFi® demonstration using the PIC24FJ128GA010 MCU, please use the standard MPLAB C Compiler for PIC24 MCUs (Part Number: SW006014), which allows for code optimization. For all other demonstrations, you can use the free C Compiler in LITE mode included in the MPLAB IDE.
