INTRODUCTION
This chapter will get you started using the PICkit? Serial Analyzer with the 28-Pin
Demo Board. In this demo, the PICkit? Serial Analyzer will communicate with the
28-Pin Demo Board using the I 2 C serial protocol. The PICkit? Serial Analyzer will be
the I 2 C Master and the 28-Pin Demo Board will be the I 2 C Slave device. The 28-Pin
Demo board is programmed to emulate an I 2 C real-time clock and Serial EEPROM.
For more information about the 28-Pin Demo Board hardware, see the 28-Pin Demo
Board User ’s Guide (DS41301).
For more information about the 28-Pin Demo Board I 2 C? demo firmware, see
Appendix B. “28-Pin Demo Board I 2 C? Demonstration Firmware”.
The demo program source code and *.hex file can be found on the PICkit? Serial
CD-ROM at D:\28-pin Demo Board\Firmware\ .
