CURIOSITY LOW PIN COUNT DEVELOPMENT
BOARD USER’S GUIDE
Chapter 1. Introduction to Curiosity Low Pin Count (LPC)
The Curiosity Low Pin Count (LPC) Development Board supports Microchip’s 8-, 14-
and 20-pin 8-bit PIC
®
MCUs. Dual-row expansion headers on either side of the socket
offer flexibility of connectivity to all pins on the PIC MCUs. Programming/debugging is
accomplished through the PICkit™ On-Board (PKOB), eliminating the need for an
external programming/debugging tool. This board provides flexibility for
experimentation through an application header with a ground (GND) and supply
voltage (V
SS) connections. It is also a set of indication LEDs, mTouch
®
button and push
button switches, and a variable potentiometer. Additionally, the Curiosity LPC Board
integrates a MikroElektronika mikroBUS™ socket, which can accommodate a variety
of plug-in Click™ Board modules that can be used for application development.

BOARD USER’S GUIDE
Chapter 2. Getting Started
The Curiosity Low Pin Count (LPC) Development Board contains a PICkit On-Board
(PKOB) which allows for both low-voltage programming and low-voltage in-circuit
debugging for all supported devices. When used with the MPLAB IDE, in-circuit
debugging allows the user to run, modify, and troubleshoot their custom software and
hardware quickly, without the need for additional debugging tools.
2.1 PROGRAMMING THE CURIOSITY LOW PIN COUNT (LPC) DEVELOPMENT
BOARD
Programming the Curiosity LPC Development Board can be accomplished through
MPLAB X IDE (version 3.30 or higher for Rev 2 and version 5.20 or higher for Rev 4).
2.1.1 Programming Using MPLAB
®
X IDE
1. Connect the Curiosity LPC Board to the computer using the on-board micro-USB
connector.
2. Open MPLAB X IDE and either create a new project or open an existing one.
3. Click on the Project Properties icon located in the project’s Dashboard window
(as seen in Figure 2-1). Alternatively, the Project Properties window can be
opened by clicking on File > Project Properties
, or by right clicking on the project
name in the Projects window and clicking Properties.
Note: The Curiosity LPC Board must be programmed using Low-Voltage
Programming (LVP). The LVP bit of the Configuration Word(s) must be set
(LVP = ON or ‘1’).
2015-2020 Microchip Technology Inc. DS40001804D-page 11
FIGURE 2-1: PROJECT PROPERTIES BUTTON
4. The Project Properties window will open. This window allows for the selection of
the programming tool, compiler and PIC MCU. MPLAB X IDE refers to the
Curiosity LPC Board as “Starter Kits” in the Hardware Tool selection window, as
seen in Figure 2-2.
FIGURE 2-2: SELECTING THE CURIOSITY LPC DEVELOPMENT BOARD
5. In the upper left-hand corner of the Project Properties window, click on Starter
Kits (PKOB). The window will now show the configuration options for the PKOB
programmer, as shown in Figure 2-3.
2015-2020 Microchip Technology Inc. DS40001804D-page 12
FIGURE 2-3: PROGRAM OPTIONS FOR THE PICkit™ ON-BOARD (PKOB)
6. In the Option categories drop-down menu, select Program Options; ensure that
the Low Voltage Programming mode is selected for Programming mode entry
(Figure 2-4). The Curiosity LPC Board is now ready to be programmed.
FIGURE 2-4: ENSURE LOW-VOLTAGE PROGRAMMING IS ENABLED
2015-2020 Microchip Technology Inc. DS40001804D-page 13
7. Once the project is ready to be programmed, simply click on the Make and
Program Device button, and MPLAB X IDE will build and compile the code and
program the PIC device, as displayed in Figure 2-5.

CURIOSITY LOW PIN COUNT DEVELOPMENT
BOARD USER’S GUIDE
Chapter 3. Troubleshooting
This chapter discusses common operational issues and methods to resolve them.
3.1 THE MCU WILL NOT PROGRAM USING THE PKOB
The Curiosity LPC Development Board’s PICkit On-Board (PKOB) uses low-voltage
programming. Both MPLAB X IDE and MPLAB Xpress set the Low-Voltage
Programming (LVP) bit to a ‘1’, allowing low-voltage programming.
1. When using custom firmware, the LVP bit must be set to1 in the Configuration
Word. MPLAB X IDE will not allow programming using the PKOB unless the bit
is properly configured.
2. When using a PIC microcontroller (one not included with the Curiosity
Development Board) that has already been programmed using high-voltage
programming and the LVP bit is cleared (LVP = OFF or ‘0’), the device will not be
recognized and cannot be programmed using the PKOB. Reprogramming the
device can be achieved by one of the following two methods:
a) Connect a PICkit™ 3 Programmer to the PIC device dual-row expansion
headers, ensuring the appropriate ICSP™, GND, and V
DD connections are
made. Configure MPLAB IDE to use the PICkit 3 as the programmer, and
ensure the LVP bit is set to ‘1 in the Configuration Word. Reprogram the
device.
b) Use an unprogrammed (blank) device and ensure the LVP bit is set to ‘1’ in
the Configuration Word.
3.2 THE MPLAB PICKIT 4 ON-BOARD (PKOB4) DOES NOT PERFORM
Use the Hardware Tool Emergency Boot Firmware Recovery Utility to restore hard-
ware tool boot firmware to its factory state. The recovery utility window can be opened
by clicking on Debug > Hardware Tool Emergency Boot Firmware Recovery Utility
in
MPLAB X IDE.The Curiosity LPC Development Board’s PICkit On-Board (PKOB) uses
low-voltage programming. Both MPLAB X IDE and MPLAB Xpress sets the Low-Volt-
age Programming (LVP) bit to a ‘1’, allowing low-voltage programming.

CURIOSITY LOW PIN COUNT DEVELOPMENT
BOARD USER’S GUIDE
Appendix B. General Notes
B.1 mikroBUS™ CLICKS
Module 1 is the main click socket, and Module 2 is the secondary socket. Both sockets
are fully compatible with a 40-pin PIC device; however, when using 28-pin devices, not
all pins are available.
All pins in Module 1 are available for use with the exception of the mikroBUS's Reset
(RST) signal, which is tied to pin RD0. PORT D is not available on 28-pin devices. If
the RST signal is needed, remove the solder blob jumper associated with the
mikroBUS RST connection, and place a jumper wire between the via next to the solder
blob jumper and the desired pin connection found in the J8 or J11 dual-row expansion
headers (see Figure 1-1).
All pins in Module 2 are available for use with the exception of the mikroBUS's Reset
(RST) signal (RD2), SPI Chip Select (CS
) signal (RD3), and the PWM (RD1) signal.
These signals are routed to the PORT D pins, which are not available on 28-pin PIC
devices. If these signals are needed, remove the solder blob jumpers associated with
the mikroBUS connection pins, and place jumper wires from the vias located next to
the associated solder blob jumpers to the desired pin connections found in the J8 or
J11 dual-row expansion headers (see Figure 1-1).
B.2 SOLDER BLOB JUMPER
Solder blob jumpers can be found on each Click module, push-button switch, LED, or
potentiometer connection. This allows the user to utilize those pin connections for other
applications.
