Baseline and Mid-Range PIC Training Course and Development Board

This training board is specially designed to complement the Gooligum baseline and mid-range PIC assembler and C programming tutorials.

All baseline and mid-range C and assembler lessons and source code are supplied on a CD bundled with the board. Any additional mid-range PIC lessons will be emailed to training board purchasers, as they become available.

The training board is supplied with all components needed to implement every example in each lesson - simply by setting jumpers in almost all cases.

It is also an excellent stand-alone general development board with support for all small (6 - 14 pin) PICs and all signals conveniently brought out to a pin header next to a solderless breadboard.

It features:

  • All Gooligum baseline and mid-range PIC assembler and C tutorials supplied on CD
  • Support for all 6-pin, 8-pin and 14-pin baseline and mid-range PICs
  • 2 x pushbuttons with selectable external pull-ups
  • 9 x LEDs
  • 3 x 7-segment LED displays, configurable as single or multiplexed digits
  • Piezo sounder on PWM outputs
  • Pot and 2 x LDRs (photocells)
  • 4 MHz resonator, 32.768 kHz crystal, and 32.768 kHz oscillator
  • Variable frequency oscillator for frequency and pulse width measurement lessons
  • All signals brought out to 16-pin header, with solderless breadboard for convenient custom development
  • ICSP connector for use with PICkit 2 or 3
  • DC socket for higher-power applications
  • Kits and assembled boards come with all components needed to complete every lesson (except motor control examples)
An optional motor control kit provides additional components, including a small brushed DC motor, MOSFETs and quad half-H driver IC, for use with the PWM lesson motor-control examples.
