2.1 GETTING STARTED
The 1LSb Octal DAC Evaluation Board can be used by following the four steps listed
below.
1. Connect the 1LSb Octal DAC Evaluation Board to the top-right mikroBUS™
header on the Curiosity HPC Board, as shown in
Figure 1-3.
2. Compile the demo code provided in
Chapter 3. “Code” and program the
on-board PIC1847Q10 microcontroller. Steps to compile and program are

Note: The demo code provided in
Chapter 3. “Code” enables use of the 1LSb
Octal DAC Evaluation Board with the Curiosity HPC Development Board
(DM164136). Once the Curiosity HPC board has been programmed with
this code, the DAC’s output can be monitored on the V
OUT
pin using an
oscilloscope.
