**OBSOLETE** Getting Started with PIC32 and UBW32

Follow these steps to get the UBW32 started.

Driver for UBW32

Download the driver to your computer from here.

Plug a miniUSB cord into the UBW32 and into the computer.

The New Hardware Wizard should appear. The driver is for a COM PORT. Complete wizard and select driver you downloaded.

The UBW32 should now communicate with the computer.

Open a terminal (I used HyperTerminal) and type 'v'. The Firmware version should appear.

Bootloader

An advantage of the UBW32 is that a bootloader has already been installed. This means you do not need to a programmer to put new programs on the PIC32.

The HID bootloader v2.4 executable can be downloaded here.

This bootloader is used to put HEX files on the PIC32.

NOTE: occassionally, the bootloader will get stuck verifying that the program is running. (There must be a bug in the bootloader application code) It will take 90-100% of CPU. End task manually with the task manager if this happens.
