PICee Development System
a PIC16F84-based single-board computer
Published in issue 307, February 2002
This single-board computer, using the popular low-cost PIC16F84 microcontroller, has been developed with educational applications in mind.The PICee single-board computer described in this article is a versatile training and development system based on the well-known Microchip PIC16F84 microcontroller. The microcontroller’s flash memory is electrically erasable: hence the ‘ee’ in the title. In contrast to the 89C8252 Flash microcontroller board described in our December 2001 issue, the 16F84 processor used here is a so-called ‘RISC’ (reduced instruction set computer) microcontroller with only a small number of instructions. The PICee board allows experimentation with all 35 of the processor’s instructions without additional hardware. The board encompasses a wide range of applications, from a simple LED flasher to an elegant crystal-controlled clock.
