About this item

The PIC Development Board is a versatile and feature-rich platform designed for learning, prototyping, and developing applications using Microchip's PIC microcontrollers. PIC microcontrollers are widely used in industrial, commercial, and educational environments due to their robustness, low power consumption, and wide range of available models. This development board is especially suited for beginners and intermediate learners who wish to explore embedded systems and microcontroller programming using MPLAB X IDE and the XC8 compiler, both of which are free to download and use. The board is compatible with most 18F PIC series microcontrollers, with common support for PIC18F4520 and PIC16F877A, two of the most beginner-friendly and widely supported chips. It features essential onboard peripherals such as voltage regulators, LEDs, buzzers, push buttons, 7-segment displays, and potentiometers for interactive learning and testing. The board also includes connectors and slots to interface temperature sensors, LCD displays, Bluetooth modules, and motor drivers, making it suitable for a wide range of project applications. Additionally, the microcontroller can be programmed in-circuit using ICSP (In-Circuit Serial Programming) via tools like PICkit 2 or PICkit 3, eliminating the need to remove the IC during development. This board provides a complete, reliable, and cost-effective environment for developing PIC-based projects.
