Assembled & tested development board for 40-pin PIC microcontrollers with crystal oscillator circuit, USB port, ICSP/ICD port; 16×2 alphanumeric LCD, 2-button keyboard, ADC input, bi-color LED.

PIC USB Board Features

• DIL socket for 40-pin PIC microcontroller
• LCD 16×2 alphanumeric display with backlight
• Two buttons
• Bi-color LED
• USB powered — no external supply needed
• FT232RL USB-to-UART converter. PC driver creates virtual RS232 port, which allows you to use RS232 software (like Hyperterminal) to talk to this board
• ICSP/ICD connector (top view) for in-circuit programming and debugging, e.g. with PIC-KIT3
• Quartz crystal oscillator circuit 20 MHz
• Extension headers for unused PIC ports
• Four mounting holes
• FR-4, 1.5 mm (0.062"), soldermask, white silkscreen component print
• Dimensions 95 × 36 mm (3.7 × 1.4")

Note: This board does not include a PIC microcontroller. See the options list at the bottom of this page for compatible microcontrollers that we carry.

Documentation & Drivers

• PIC-MT-USB User Manual and Schematic
• Virtual COM Port Drivers for Windows, Linux, Mac, and WinCE
• Blinking LED demo code for PIC16F877 (C source and hex)
