News
Dataweek is offering its readers the chance to win a Microchip PICDEM PIC18 Explorer Board (DM183032), a demonstration board for the company’s PIC18 microcontroller families. The PIC18 Explorer features a PIC18F8722 microcontroller, which is the superset of the traditional PIC18 general purpose 5 V family.
The board also comes with the PIC18F87J11 processor PIM which is the superset of the PIC18 J-series of 3 V MCUs for cost sensitive applications. The single development board supports dozens of the general purpose PIC18 families using various processor plug-in modules.
PICtail daughter boards enable many different accessory boards to connect to the PIC18 Explorer board for a flexible and complete development environment. This board is the ideal complement to the MPLAB PICkit 3 or ICD 3 debugger and programmer for a full-featured, economical, PIC18 development environment.
To stand a chance to win one of these boards, log onto www.microchip-comps.com/dataweek-pic18 and enter your details into the online entry form.
