3. RUNNING SAMPLE PROGRAMS
To develop and debug programs for the RCM5400W (and for all
other Rabbit hardware), you must install and use Dynamic C.
This chapter provides a tour of its major features with respect to
the RCM5400W modules.
3.1 Introduction
To help familiarize you with the RCM5400W modules, Dynamic C includes several sam-
ple programs. Loading, executing and studying these programs will give you a solid
hands-on overview of the RCM5400W’s capabilities, as well as a quick start with
Dynamic C as an application development tool.
This chapter provides sample programs that illustrate the digital I/O and serial capabilities
of the RCM5400W RabbitCore module.
Section 6.2.4 discusses the sample programs that
illustrate the Wi-Fi features.
NOTE: The sample programs assume that you have at least an elementary grasp of the C
language. If you do not, see the introductory pages of the Dynamic C User’s Manual
for a suggested reading list.
In order to run the sample programs discussed in this chapter and elsewhere in this manual,
1. Your module must be plugged in to the Prototyping Board as described in
Chapter 2,2. Dynamic C must be installed and running on your PC.
3. The programming cable must connect the programming header on the module to your
PC.
4. Power must be applied to the module through the Prototyping Board.
To run a sample program, open it with the File menu, then compile and run it by pressing
F9
.
Each sample program has comments that describe the purpose and function of the pro-
gram. Follow the instructions at the beginning of the sample program.
Complete information on Dynamic C is provided in the Dynamic C User’s Manual.
