INTRODUCTION:

With this board you can develop and prototype with any of Microchip's 18 pin PIC microcontrollers. The RS232 driver on board allows easy connection with PC or other embedded hardware. The board have User button and status LED. The bridge rectifire allow this board to be powered with both AC and DC power supply adapters. PIC-P18 supports both 3V low power and normal 5V operation.

FEATURES:

• ICSP/ICD connector for programming with PIC-MCP-USB and PIC-MCP or PIC-PG1,PIC-PG2, PIC-PG3, PIC-PG4 programmers and debugging with PIC-ICD2, PIC-ICD-POCKET, PIC-ICD2-TINY(* for the PICs with ICD support)
• RS232 Tx, Rx interface with MAX232 IC on socket
