The PIC32 Starter Board PIM Adapter is designed to enable the PIC32 Starter Board to work with the Explorer 16 Development Board. This enables users to customize functionality using PICtail™ Plus daughter cards or eliminate the need for external debugging hardware. With the PIC32 Starter Board plugged into the Explorer 16 Development Board, there are 2 options to connect to MPLAB® Integrated Development Environment (IDE):
1. Use the existing PIC32 Starter Board circuitry. Ensure the PIC32 Starter Board USB cable is connected to the PIC32 Starter Board debug port. Also, connect the +9V DC power supply to the Explorer 16 Development Board.
2. Use a third party JTAG debugger connected to the Explorer 16 Development Board JTAG port.
