Z-World Jackrabbit, Getting Started Manual

Jackrabbit (BL1800)

2.3.2  Connect Programming Cable

The programming cable connects the Jackrabbit to the PC running Dynamic C to down-
load programs and to monitor the Jackrabbit during debugging.

Connect the 10-pin connector of the programming cable labeled 

PROG

 to header J3 on 

the Jackrabbit board as shown in 

Figure 4

. Be sure to orient the marked (usually red) edge 

of the cable towards pin 1 of the connector. (Do not use the 

DIAG

 connector, which is used 

for a normal serial connection.)

NOTE:

Use only the programming cable that has a red shrink wrap around the RS-232 

level converter (Z-World part number 101-0513), which is supplied with the Develop-
ment Kit. Other Z-World programming cables might not be voltage-compatible or their 
connector sizes may be different.

Figure 4.  Power and Programming Cable Connections

to Jackrabbit Board

Connect the other end of the programming cable to a COM port on your PC.

NOTE:

Some PCs now come equipped only with a USB port. It may be possible to use 

an RS-232/USB converter with the programming cable supplied with the Jackrabbit 
Development Kit. An RS-232/USB converter is available through the Z-World Web store.
