 The
LAB-XUSB is a platform for experimenting with PIC microcontroller
(MCU) applications. It contains the circuitry required by the PIC
microcontroller to operate: 5-volt power supply, oscillator, reset
circuit, as well as additional application circuits including switches,
potentiometers, LEDs, LCD module, RS232 interface, USB interface
and speaker, among others. A prototyping area is also included in
case we missed your favourite circuit.
Many different projects may be created using the LAB-XUSB. Some
examples include a calculator, LCD clock, digital thermometer, LCD
backpack, data logger and many more. All of the PIC microcontroller
I/O pins are brought out to a header that allows connection to off-board
circuits.
The LAB-XUSB can run programs written in assembler, C and PicBasic
or PicBasic Pro.
The LAB-XUSB includes in-circuit programming connectors so the
resident PIC microcontroller may be reprogrammed on the fly (requires
flash device) using programmers that support this feature. Because
the LAB-XUSB itself is not a programmer, a separate PIC microcontroller
programmer, such as the
EPIC Plus Programmer,
Serial Programmer,
USB Programmer or
U2 USB Programmer
is required to program a PIC microcontroller.
The LAB-XUSB is designed to work with 40-pin PIC microcontrollers.
It is recommended the LAB-XUSB be used with the 40-pin PIC18F4550.
This flash device is equipped with the USB module necessary to build
USB peripherals.
