5.11.2.1.4 Project Creation

In MPLAB X IDE, click the New Project button

and set up a new stand-alone project.

1. Device: PIC32MX470F512H
2. Tool: MPLAB ICE 4
3. Compiler: MPLAB XC32 v2.50

In the new project, right click on “Source Files” in the Projects window and select new>main.c. Then enter the code below in the editor and save.

To produce current on the target board that is more than a single value, the target should be actively doing something. The following code for the target PIC32MX470F512H will flash LEDs on the board.
