Microchip has released the PICDEM Lab Development Kit, a comprehensive entry-level development platform for all of Microchip’s 8-bit Flash PIC microcontrollers (MCUs) with 20 or fewer pins. Aimed at educators, students and newcomers to microcontrollers, the kit comes complete with five popular 8-bit PIC MCUs, along with a selection of discrete components, a PICkit 2 debugger/ programmer and a CD containing a user’s guide, labs and application examples.
A solderless prototyping area on the development board allows users to explore a number of application examples described in the ‘hands-on’ labs that come with the kit. The easy-to-follow labs provide an intuitive introduction to common peripherals and then move into a variety of application examples to reinforce core concepts. All of the code examples are written in the high level programming language, C, and can be compiled using the HI TECH C compiler, available as a free download from www.microchip.com/HI-TECH.
