Microchip has released what it says is a low-cost, easy-to-use programmer, evaluation and development kit for the company's 8- and 14-pin Flash-based microcontrollers. Supporting the PIC12F629, PIC12F675, PIC16F630 and PIC16F676 devices, the PICkit 1 Flash Starter Kit gives users the benefits of creating advanced microcontroller designs for a very low price, according to the company.
The kit includes a 76 by 114 mm printed circuit board featuring a USB-powered programming tool that runs on a personal computer. The board's evaluation area features eight LEDs, one potentiometer, one switch and a sample 8-pin PIC12F675 Flash device. The development area features a snap-off prototype board that enables users to connect external circuitry to the microcontroller for quick set-up of an application-specific prototype. Programming the PICmicro Flash microcontroller is provided by the standalone graphical user interface.
The kit also includes a CD-ROM containing a user's guide with tutorials and example software code, the MPLAB Integrated Development Environment with HI-TECH PICC Lite C compiler, Microchip's 'Software and Hardware Tips 'n Tricks for 8-Pin Microcontrollers' and a USB interface cable. The MPLAB IDE integrated software development environment includes a MPASM macro assembler, MPLAB SIM software simulator and symbolic debugger, source editor, and project manager.
