The RADIX development board range offers scalable development options for different packages in the PIC16F and 18F family ranges. If the PIC16F18877 range is chosen, with its shared core, the base code written for devices in the range can be shared. The improves code development and maintenance as verified code, introduced into the product development cycle is reusable without the need for redevelopment or extensive re-testing.
When comparing the development PCBs across the range, they all follow a standard format. This standardized approach to development improves product and system rapid development.
- Programming Interfaces: Two programming interfaces are offered, and you can use either to program your development board.
- ICSP Standard header is compatible with the PICKIT programmers.
- The 8-BIT MCU whether a legacy device for example the PIC16F887 or our recommended device, remains fully capable of developing applications for the modern world.
- An 8 MHZ resonator is provided, this can be changed for a more suitable one
- Connect your external peripherals to the headers to interface with the external elements of your application.
- Two onboard voltage sources have been provided, 3v3 and 5v0. The PCB can be USB-powered for low-current consumption applications.
- The Reset switch gets you out of those tricky loop situations
- Only Low drop-out voltage regulators are included in our designs to reduce power wastage
- Communication with your application is essential for diagnostics, data extraction or code updating. The USB UART enables the PCB to emulate a COM PORT communicating over USB.
- To introduce an alternative device that communicates using the COMPORT, remove the jumper to redirect the I/O Line usage.
- The headers are compatible with jumpers that connect with external hardware modules to enhance the application.
