PIC Station-3

Multi-processor PIC microcontroller Experiment board

Technical features

Microcontroller section

• 3 of PIC microcontroller main sockets for supporting the different package of PIC micrcontroller. It includes :

  • 40-pin socket that inserted PIC16F887 chip. Also, you can change to any 40-pin DIP of PIC16f/18F microcontroller

  • 18-pin socket that inserted PIC16F88 chip. Also, you can change to any 18-pin DIP of PIC16F/18F microcontroller

  • 20-pin socket that inserted PIC16F690 chip. Also, you can change to any 8/14/20-pin DIP of PIC16F/18F microcontroller and special bonus; the 6 pin female header for supporting the PIC10F202 module (must use only one package in a time)

• Each microcontroller socket has ICD2 jack for supporting the In-system programming (PX-200 or PX-700 USB programmer is recommended). You can program and run all 3 sockets in same time. No need to change !

• Fixed 20MHz crystal clock for 40-pin microcontroller and 4MHz crystal for 18-pin PIC microcontroller

• Free clock source selection for 20-pin PIC microcontroller socket

• Prepare all I/O port of PIC microcontroller in each socket

• Direct downloading via ICD2 jack  by Microchip's PicKit-2 software. It can operate with WindowsXP and Vista. You can set the full option of configuration bits for each microcontroller

• One mode switch for program and run in each microcontroller socket with Mode LED indicators.

• Support the multi-processor experiments and applications.
