Our department getting grant to buy development board and I do not want them to buy same old FPGA board which we have 100 of and only 10 uses so far.
Need your enormous experiences in helping make good choice of development boards.
Friends with me interested in learning following PIC parts:
- PIC18F4550
- PIC18F46J50
- PIC18F46J53
- PIC18F47J53
- PIC24FJ256DA206
- PIC24FJ256GB106
- PIC24FJ256GB210
In time we will also be interesting in dsPIC and PIC32 but all these right now together too much load, so beginnning only above.
I see Development Tools Home
Of all this the Explorer 16 100-pin board is interesting.
At $130 Explorer 16 Development Board has the nice option of interchangeable Plug-In Modules.
I assuming this means we can make our own PCB with the above PICs also and just pluggin them as Plug-In Modules?
Also finding the following boards, but confused if it possible to replace the PIC already present on the board?
Development board from Microchip is recommended as easy to make dean agree, budget of around $200 or less per board
Answer
The Explorer 16 Development board is very good because you can buy PIMs to evaluate different microcontrollers (PIC24 and PIC32) and expansion boards called PICTail boards to evaluate different technologies like Ethernet, wireless, and graphical LCDs. All without having to create your own boards or mess with a soldering iron.
The PIC18 Explorer board is the same as the Explorer 16 board, but for evaluating PIC16 and PIC18 parts. It too has PICTail cards that can be plugged into it to evaluate additional hardware.
