PIC18Flash Development Board

Continuing where the ’16 series left off...

PIC18Flash Development Board

The development system described in this article continues a fine tradition of Elektor Electronics microcontroller articles, and follows in the lineage of the popular PICee board, AVRee and others. The board described here employs the most recent and powerful of Microchip’s PIC family, the ‘18F’ series, and specifically, the PIC18F452.
The PIC18F452 has become the defacto standard part of the 18F series, and is an obvious choice for people wishing to move on from designs using the ubiquitous PIC16F84 and 16F877 devices.
PIC18flash offers the usual development board features of a processor, clock, some LED’s, some pushbuttons, an interface to a standard 2×20 line LCD display, an RS232 port, a piezo ceramic sounder and DC power regulation.
Special features are:
– On-board hardware for ICSP (In-Circuit Serial Programming)
– Power I/O for real-world devices such as solenoids, stepping and DC motors.
– An interface to the Microchip ‘ICD-2’ debugger
