ROGRAMS

To develop and debug programs for the RCM4400W (and for all

other Rabbit Semiconductor hardware), you must install and use

Dynamic C. This chapter provides a tour of its major features

with respect to the RCM4400W.

3.1  Introduction

To help familiarize you with the RCM4400W modules, Dynamic C includes several sam-

ple programs. Loading, executing and studying these programs will give you a solid 

hands-on overview of the RCM4400W’s capabilities, as well as a quick start with 

Dynamic C as an application development tool.

This chapter provides sample programs that illustrate the digital I/O and serial capabilities 

of the RCM4400W RabbitCore module. Section 6.2.4 discusses the sample programs that 

illustrate the Wi-Fi features.

NOTE: The sample programs assume that you have at least an elementary grasp of the C 

language. If you do not, see the introductory pages of the Dynamic C User’s Manual 

for a suggested reading list.

In order to run the sample programs discussed in this chapter and elsewhere in this manual,

1. Your module must be plugged in to the Prototyping Board as described in Chapter 2, 

“Getting Started.”

2. Dynamic C must be installed and running on your PC.

3. The programming cable must connect the programming header on the module to your 

PC.

4. Power must be applied to the module through the Prototyping Board.

Refer to Chapter 2, “Getting Started,” if you need further information on these steps.

To run a sample program, open it with the 

File

 menu, then compile and run it by pressing 

F9

.

Each sample program has comments that describe the purpose and function of the pro-

gram. Follow the instructions at the beginning of the sample program.

Complete information on Dynamic C is provided in the Dynamic C User’s Manual.
