Schematic

First Programs : 6 ways to blink a LED

Here are 6 ways to blink the built-in Led (User Led) on your new Pinguino board.

Electrical Characteristics

Operating conditions at 25°C

Parameter	Minimum	Typical	Maximum	Units
Input voltage	4.5	5.0	5.5	Volts
Current Requirement	5	-	500¹	mA

¹ If board is powered via by a USB connection only 500ma is allowable under USB 2.0 specifications.

Power requirements

The Pinguino 47j53 boards can be powered in a number of ways:

USB Socket – USB power from a USB Host.
USB Socket – Powered by a USB charging/power adapter.
VIN pin: 7-12V
VBAT pin: 2.8-4V (non-regulated to run low-power battery modes)

3.3V is regulated with AMS1117-3.3 chips.

Warning: If supplying voltage to the VBAT pin ensure this is regulated when not using battery to prevent damage to the PIC.

On-Board Features

System Clocks

An on-board 8 MHz crystal is used to provide the system clock for the USB board. An additional 32.768 KHz crystal is also installed for use with the PIC18f47J53 Real time clock (RTCC), 8 bit or 16 bit timers.

Header Pin Outs

I²C Pin Outs

2-pin battery connector

ICSP Connector

There is a provision for 6 pin In-Circuit Serial Programmer (ICSP) connector (male header or female socket) on the board. This is fully compatible with Microchip’s PICkit3 programmer. It is also compatible with the PICkit2 provided you use the device file in this zip file to which device entries for both the PIC18F27J53 and PIC18F47J53 have been added and successfully tested.

ICSP Connector	Microchip name	Pinguino name

2	VDD	3.3V
3	GND	GND
4	PGD	B7
5	PGC	B6
6	NC	NC
