EasyPIC v8 Development Board - USB-C and WiFi

Product Code: MIKROE-3615

The 8th Generation of Hardware Perfection - Onboard Programmer/Debugger CODEGRIP USB Programmer & Debugger Programming & debugging for more than 270 pf Microchip's popular 8-bit PIC MCUs, from the smallest PIC MCU devices with only 8 pins to the most powerful 40-pin devices. CODEGRIP Suite The CODEGRIP Suite is a powerful software suite that offers complete control over the EasyPIC v8 development board. It is used to intelligently manage programming tasks, as well as various other options and settings of the development board. Plug&Play: No USB Driver Needed Without the need for any additional support, a USB debugger enables programming/debugging over a generic USB driver. Supports a Wide Range of PIC MCUs Choose from the Wide Range of 8-bit MCUs The EasyPIC v8 covers a wide range of 8-bit PIC MCUs, from the smallest PIC MCU devices with only 8 pins, all the way up to 40-pin "giants". Board comes with PIC18F47K42 and 8MHz Crystal oscillator. Eight Different DIP Sockets Ranging from DIP8 up to DIP40, all DIP sockets allows exclusively placement of MCUs, from the smallest to the largest one.

note: Only a single MCU can be installed into the development board at a time. Improved Quality and Design Surface mounted technology standard enables a sturdy, compact design with improved quality of the sockets and ergonomic design, which allows comfortable project development. LCD & GLCD/TFT Display Boards Two Display Connectors The EasyPIC v8 Development Board is equipped with two display connectors, one is a 1x16pin header used for connecting LCD in 4-bit mode. The second is a single row 20-pin header, which supports monochromatic GLCD with a resolution of 128x64 pixels and EasyTFT Board capable of showing advanced graphical content. Display Graphical or Textual Content Two display options allow even the basic 8-bit PIC MCU devices to utilize them and display graphical or textual content. One of them is the 2x16-character LCD module which requires minimal processing power from the host MCU for its operation. The other option is familiar GLCD based on the KS108 (or compatible) display driver, or if you want to upgrade your application EasyTFT is a perfect choice. Resistive Touch Panel The EasyPIC v8 Development Board provides the required circuitry, allowing the resistive touch panel to be interfaced with the installed MCU. The resistive touch panel is supported over two separate connectors: one 4-pin flat cable connector (FFC) and one 1x4-pin header. Ideal for Rapid Prototyping Rapid prototyping allows the engineer to take the most efficient and effortless way, to envision the design ideas, capabilities and limitations through measurable means. This is the crucial eliminating factor for time to market pressure. Improved MikroBUS™ Sockets The EasyPIC v8 offers five improved mikroBUS™ sockets, where you can place any of the 1300 different Click Boards™, adding a massive number of possibilities with the largest add-on-board selection in the world. Ready-To-Use Click Boards™ With 1300 Click boards™ available, they are the fastest-growing range of add-on-boards in the world, which are standardized by pinout and size. They enhance rapid development and accelerate time to market. These ready-to-use boards require no additional hardware configuration. Engineered to deliver the best performances for the used components, they save developers of testing and troubleshooting often associated with the prototyping phase. Endless Modularity The ready-to-use Click Boards™ are saving time and money by offering complete solutions of hardware and software, instead of developing them from scratch. Choose one of the hundreds of Click Boards™ out of these categories: mixed-signal, wireless connectivity, memory, interface, displays, human-machine interface, adapter, clock and timing, motor control, power management and audio & voice. First Class Power Supply State of the Art Power Supply EasyPIC v8 offers a state-of-the-art power supply with constant power delivery and unprecedented flexibility. The power supply module is carefully designed to regulate, filter and distribute the power noise-free. In addition, it features convenient capacitive POWER and RESET buttons. Programmable Voltage Reference The PSU is able to provide a very accurate, programmable voltage reference (VREF) in the range from 0V to 4.096V. It is very useful for many different applications including A/D and D/A converters, comparators, etc. The MCP4726 DAC is controlled and programmed by the CODEGRIP module, over the I2C interface. The MCP606, a single rail-to-rail operational amplifier is used to provide an additional buffering at the output. Uninterruptable Power Supply The power supply unit supports a wide range of power sources that can be used: External 12VDC, USB-C connector, and a Li-Po/Li-ION battery. The power OR-ing option is also supported, providing uninterrupted
