Post by thread:Proto boards wanted

Does anyone know of a source for low-cost prototyping boards for PIC's? What I have in mind is a bare board (something like Microchip's PICDEM) with solder holes for a PIC plus various other likely parts such as pull up/down resistors for the i/o ports, serial interface such as Max-232, pin headers for flat cable connectors, etc. Thanks, D.M.

Yes, I have aboard that does all of that mentioned above. It's called a PIGMY board and not only has provision for a MAX-232 but also a pair of MAX-485's. It's the same size as a 3.5" floppy diskette, supports 18 and 28(5x) pin chips, basic stamp 1 and 2, ETI Pic Basic, In-circuit load and go 84 programming and lots more. Check out the gif overlay of the Rev B PIGMY board on my home page.

Have you seen Micro-Engineering Lab's bare boards? They are available from Parallax, Inc. - (916) 624-8333. Also, since you asked, my company, E-LAB Digital Engineering, Inc. manufactures a board that greatly simplifies PIC design. It has on-board power regulation, clock, a/d, 36 terminal blocks, expansion port - even a direct LCD connection port! If you'd like a free information pack (anyone), please e-mail your POSTAL mailing address to: .....tpetersonKILLspam@spam@netins.net and ask for a PICPlus(tm) information packet. I hope to be of some assistance to you!

Parallax has some. I believe they are reselling another companies boards (from somewhere in Colorado). Take a peek at their web page at http://www.parallaxinc.com. eric

Until you get a copy of the book from your local Microchip sales rep, here are a few phone numbers: microEngineering: 719 520-5323 Depew Engineering: 612 926-6212 Farsoft: 27 11 8289255 (South Africa) There are a bunch of other manufacturers of boards with LED/LCD displays, UARTs, keypads, etc., but that sounds like more than what you want. -Andy Andrew Warren - spamBeGonefastfwdspamBeGoneix.netcom.com Fast Forward Engineering, Vista, California http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/2499
