1.5 RUNNING THE PICkit™ 2 STARTER KIT DEFAULT DEMONSTRATION
The Low Pin Count Demo Board comes preprogrammed with a demonstration program.
To use this program, connect the PICkit™ 2 Starter Kit to the PC’s USB port using the
USB cable. Start the PICkit™ 2 Microcontroller Programmer application and check the
target power box. The demo program will blink the four red lights in succession. Press
the Push Button Switch, labeled SW1, and the sequence of the lights will reverse. Rotate
the potentiometer, labeled RP1, and the light sequence will blink at a different rate. This
demo program is developed through the first 7 lessons in this guide.
