Post by thread:[PIC]: SBC found

You may remember my message a week or so ago looking for a simple SBC for a 18pin PIC with a MAX232 on it. I managed to find something that will work quite well: the PIC-an-LCD demo board from B.G. Micro. It was intended to be used, with a preprogrammed PIC, as an adapter to drive an LCD from a RS232 serial port. I just bought the bare board, populated the XTAL and MAX232 circuitry, added a couple of LED's, burned my own code and, as they say, Bob's my uncle. (Actually Bob was my father, but they don't say that).

Looks good, but now I need a SIMM socket to mount it in, which means I need a SIMMSTICK motherboard... Getting pretty complicated.

The DT106 has a much better header layout for non-SIMM mounting, but it accepts only 28/40pin PICs [too many pins for some - he, he]: http://www.dontronics.com/dt106.html -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.

For some reason the design does _not_ include caps for the crystal. My 7+ MHz crystal was only generating about 1V P-P until I soldered a couple of 22pf caps on the bottom of the board. It took a little doing to avoid having it look really 'klugey' but it isn't too bad. Probably would work fine with a resonator that included caps, if the pin spacing were right.

Now instead of a SIMMSTICK motherboard I need some kind of board with a row of socket pins on it. No help I'm afraid.

part 1 1079 bytes content-type:text/plain; charset=us-ascii I thought the phrase was, "......and Bob's your uncle." I wouldn't know, though, cos I don't have an Uncle Bob, nor do I know if you have an Uncle Bob (in general) although I think Sarah Connor's son did in Terminator 2. He also had a dog (not) called Wolfie......but I don't think that has anything to do with this. Surreal day. Dan (Embedded "Alan B.
