### Setting Up PIC32CZ CA70 Ultra Curiosity Development Kit

- Connect the Debug USB port on the board to the computer using a micro USB cable

## Running the Application

1. Open the Terminal application (Ex.:Tera term) on the computer
2. Connect to the PICkit4 On Board Virtual COM port and configure the serial settings as follows:
   - Baud : 115200
   - Data : 8 Bits
   - Parity : None
   - Stop : 1 Bit
   - Flow Control : None
3. Build and Program the application project using its IDE
4. On board LED starts blinking
5. See the following message in the console
6. Select the option to enter the required Low power mode (LED is turned off when device enters a low power mode)
7. When the device wakes up on RTC alarm, the LED starts blinking and the console displays the following message based on the entered low power mode
   - Waking up from sleep Mode
   - Waking up from wait Mode
   - Waking up from backup Mode

Following table lists the name of LED used on the target board:
