PIC32MX Starter Kit Tutorial

DS61144D-page 21

The tutorial program includes the Debug Print Library, which facilitates print functional-

ity. A peripheral library header file for flashing the LEDs is also included. The header

file for print functionality is db_utils.h.

Depending on the macro definition given in the print header file, the debug print macros

will be expanded. The print functionality in the tutorial is routed to the Output window

on the MPLAB PIC32MX tab in the interface window. In order to achieve this, the

macro definition “PIC32_STARTER_KIT” is added to the MPLAB C Compiler for PIC32

options.

As the program runs, the Output window (Figure 2-14) tracks the progress.

After printing the menu, the application displays a prompt that requests your input, see

Figure 2-15.

Type your choice into the Enter Information to be Sent to Target box, and click Send.

The program responds according to the menu entry. Watch the LEDs on the starter kit

board. If your entry is incorrect, the LEDs will toggle once.
