Dataweek and Microchip are teaming up again to offer readers the chance to win a PICDEM Lab Development Kit, which is designed to provide a comprehensive development and learning platform for Microchip’s Flash-based 6-, 8-, 14-, 18- and 20-pin 8-bit PIC microcontrollers.
Geared toward first-time PIC micro controller users and students, the development kit is supplied with five of Microchip’s most popular 8-bit PIC microcontrollers and a host of discrete components used to create a number of commonly used circuits. Expansion headers provide complete access/connectivity to all pins on the connected PIC microcontrollers and all mounted components.
A solderless prototyping block is included for quick exploration of the application examples described in the hands-on labs included in the user’s guide. These labs provide an intuitive introduction to using common peripherals and include useful application examples, from lighting an LED to some basic mixed-signal applications using the free HI-TECH C PRO for the PIC10/12/16 MCU Family Lite Mode Compiler.
Alternately, a companion guide featuring the free version of Matrix Multimedia’s Flowcode V3 Visual Programming Environment (VPE) provides a flowchart-based method of implementing a series of introductory labs. A free version of Flowcode V3 can be downloaded from the Microchip website.
Completing the kit are Microchip’s PICkit 3 programmer/debugger, which should be used for development purposes only, and a suite of free software tools that enable original applications to be developed quickly.
