PICDEM Z DEMONSTRATION KIT
FIGURE 1-1:
The PICDEM Z Demonstration Kit allows developers to evaluate and develop with
Microchip wireless solutions. The kit provides two motherboards and two 2.4 GHz
MRF24J40MA daughter boards which can be used to form a simple two node wireless
network. More nodes can be added by purchasing additional PICDEM Z Demonstration
Kits or individual components (see Table 1-1).
The PICDEM Z Demonstration Kit comes preprogrammed with a wireless demo pro-
gram. Refer to Chapter 2. “Getting Started with the PICDEM™ Z Demonstration
Kit” to learn how to operate the preprogrammed demo program and how to load other
Microchip Wireless Protocols for evaluation and development. Additional wireless pro-
tocols can be downloaded from the Microchip Wireless Design Center at
http://www.microchip.com/wireless/.
The motherboard is powered by an external power supply via the 2.5 mm coaxial power
connector (J1) or portably via a 9V battery (B1).
The kit comes with the ZENA™ Network Analyzer that graphically displays wireless
network traffic following the IEEE 802.15.4™ specification on the 2.4 GHz band. The
ZENA Network Analyzer supports IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee™ and MiWi™ protocols. The
software can analyze complete network traffic and graphically display decoded pack-
ets. It can also display a graphical representation of the network topology and the mes-
sages as they flow through the network. This information can then be saved and/or
exported for further analysis. Refer to the User's Guide (DS51606) for more information
on the operation of the ZENA Network Analyzer.
Note:
The 9V wall adapter and 9V battery are not included in the kit. A 9V wall
adapter may be ordered from microchipDIRECT under part number
AC162039.
