lkjihgfedcbaPICBASIC PLUS CompilerIntroducing the Crownhill PIC Development Board.Writing the code for a project is only the first step in a series of events that leads up tothe finished product. Actually testing the code with a real PIC is always more advantageousthan simulating the program within the confines of the computer. However, thiscan sometimes be an arduous task of repeatedly removing the PIC from the programmerand placing it in the project’s workspace. But now there is a simple, yet elegant,solution to ease the development of your project, which inevitably leads to a superiorfinished product.The Crownhill Development Board is designed to allow prototyping to become an all inone process. There is no need to remove the PIC from the board for the programmingprocess, because there are two way of programming the PIC on the board, by using oneof the many bootloader packages available (many free), or by using the serial programmingheader, for use with conventional programming methods. And with the on-boardperipherals such as the RS232 I/O, LCD, serial eeprom, and 16-button keypad, you canrepeatedly try out your project’s code with an ease that will astound you. Add to this, thesolderless breadboard for adding all the exotic peripherals you will encounter, meansyou will not need to pick up the soldering iron until the project is completed.Designed with Crownhill’s PICBASIC compilers in mind, the development board has theoption of replacing the Alphanumeric LCD with a 64*128 Graphic LCD, for use with theenhanced display capabilities of the PICBASIC PLUS version.Intelligent LCD+Accomodation for aGraphic LCDRemoveableCrystalAC or DC6 to 12 VoltsPower SocketCROWNHILLPROTO BOARD~ +- ~Reset ButtonEight LEDsPIC16F877-20/PMicrochipIn-CircuitProgramming HeaderMAX2021 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30RS232I/O Socket24LC256a b c d e f g h i j k l1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 3016-ButtonKeypadI 2 C EepromSolderlessBreadboard AreaThe Development Board takes the hassle out of prototyping; all that’s required now isfor you to add your imagination.143Copyright Crownhill 2001
