6. ToolStick C8051F411 Daughter Card Features Demo
The ToolStick kit includes a few simple code examples. The example described in this section is titled
F411DC_FeaturesDemo. The purpose of this example is to guide a new user through the features and capabilities
of the IDE and demonstrate the microcontroller’s on-chip debug capabilities. The F411DC_FeaturesDemo
example code uses the potentiometer on the daughter card to vary the blinking rate of the LED. Also, pressing the
switch, labeled S1, on the daughter card will toggle the MCU's clock source between the MCU's internal oscillator
and the external 32 kHz crystal. The first part of this demo shows how to use the IDE to connect and download the
firmware, view and modify registers, use watch windows, use breakpoints, and single step through code. The
second part of the demo shows how to use ToolStick Terminal to receive UART data from the daughter card and
how to use the GPIO pins.
