This is a bundle package that includes the following items at a significant discount: Flow Chart Programming for Microchip PIC Microcontrollers Flowcode 4 is a very high-level language programming system for PICmicro microcontrollers based on flowcharts. Flowcode allows you to design and simulate complex PIC-based robotics and control systems by simply drawing a flow chart of your desired program in a matter of minutes, even without any prior programming skills. Flowcode is a powerful language that uses macros to facilitate the control of complex devices like 7-segment displays, motor controllers and LCDs. The use of macros allows you to control highly complex electronic devices without getting bogged down in understanding the programming involved. For more detailed description, see Flowcode's separate order page. Microchip PIC Training and Development Board The PICmicro development board is designed for learning how to program PICmicro applications and for developing PICmicro-based projects. This flexible development board allows you to learn both how to program PICmicro microcontrollers as well as to program a range of 8, 18, 28, and 40 pin devices. It ships with an 18-pin PIC16F88 device already installed. All programming software is included in the 'PPP' utility supplied with this board. The board ships with USB cable included. Ports C and D of the PICmicro MCU are fed out to 9-way D-type connectors which can be used to attach E-Blocks boards. More than two dozen E-Blocks are available, from simple LED and switch boards to more complex subassemblies like Bluetooth boards, CAN bus, internet boards, IrDA transceivers, etc., allowing you to develop a wide range of electronic systems. Also included on the board are two BTA connectors for attaching a wide range of analog and digital sensors, from simple temperature probes to heart rate monitors. A standard USB cable is included to connect this board to a PC. The board can program Low Voltage Programmable PICmicro MCUs and deliver a limited amount of power using only the USB supply, but an optional power supply is recommended for full functionality. ZIF sockets can be used on this board if required. However, you may need to insert one or more turned-pin DIL sockets to achieve adequate height for some ZIF sockets to clear surrounding components. More information can be found on the Training and Development Board's order page. High-Performance, Enhanced PIC Flash Microcontroller in 40-pin PDIP The PIC16F877A CMOS FLASH-based 8-bit microcontroller is upward compatible with the PIC16C5x, PIC12Cxxx and PIC16C7x devices. It features 200 ns instruction execution, 256 bytes of EEPROM data memory, self programming, an ICD, 2 Comparators, 8 channels of 10-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter, 2 capture/compare/PWM functions, a synchronous serial port that can be configured as either 3-wire SPI or 2-wire I2C bus, a USART, and a Parallel Slave Port. For a detailed description, see PIC16F877A microcontroller's order page. Different License Versions Free Demo Version The Free PICmicro Flowcode V4 demo version is code size limited to 2KB of compiled and assembled code (4k for PIC18 series). This well featured version allows you to verify that Flowcode will provide the functions you need and is also suitable for use with hardware devices like the Formula Flowcode robot and ECIO. This is a fully working version of Flowcode that has some limitations. The PIC Flowcode demo version will produce hex code for only the following: 16F628A, 16F690, 16F88, 16F84A, 16F877, 18F2220, 18F4431, Formula Flowcode, and ECIO. The free version is limited to around 50 usable icons. Download a free Flowcode V4 demo version Home/Student version The PIC Flowcode Home/Student version is code size limited to 4KB of compiled and assembled code (8k for PIC18 series). It is also limited in the number of Flowcode components provided: communications functions are not supported. Home versions are not licensed for generating code used in commercial applications. Standard components: Free and home versions do not have all components. Limited component versions include the following standard components: LED, LED array, Switch, Switchbank, ADC, LCD, 7-segment display, Keypad, Quad 7-segment display, PWM and support for the MIAC industrial controller and Formula Flowcode. These versions cannot have more components added to them as free downloads. Other versions include all standard components and a full complement of advanced components (see below). Pro version The Pro version includes all functions, components, full code compilation size and is licensed for commercial use. Industrial users who need more than one license will need to purchase each license separately. Advanced Components: In addition of the standard components of the demo and student version, the professional license includes the following advanced components: SPI master, I2C master, SPI(legacy), Internet TCP/IP, Webserver, CAN bus, Advanced CAN bus, LIN master, LIN slave, EEPROM, IrDA, Bluetooth, GPS, RS232, Graphical colour LCD display, FAT16, MIDI, USB HID, USB slave, USB serial bus, Zigbee, RFID, Stepper motor, Servo motor, Speech, One wire bus. The professional license of PIC Flowcode now support in-circuit debugging in combination with the E-Blocks Microchip PIC USB Multiprogrammer and Processing Module Please select the license version you require from the drop-down menu below. The price increase over the student/home edition is displayed next to the license version you select. Ships from: USA Leadtime: In stock
