The
LAB-X2 Experimenter Board combines the convenience of the LAB-X1
with the simplicity and flexibility of
PIC Proto boards.The LAB-X2
includes the circuitry required by the PIC microcontroller to operate:
5-volt power supply, oscillator, reset circuit, as well as an RS-232
serial port and basic analogue and digital I/O. Both 40 and 28-pin
DIP microcontrollers are accommodated. All of the pins on the MCU
are wired to a 40 pin connector which can be used to connect your
prototype circuitry.
The LAB-X2 can run programs written in assembler, C and
PicBasic or
PicBasic Pro.
The in-circuit programming connector allows the resident PIC
microcontroller to be reprogrammed on the fly (requires flash device)
using programmers that support this feature like the
EPIC Plus Programmer,
Serial Programmer,
USB Programmer or
U2 USB Programmer. It is recommended the LAB-X2 be used with
the 40-pin
PIC16F877 or the 28-pin
PIC16F876 (available separately). These flash devices may be
reprogrammed again and again.
| Compatible with the 40-pin PIC16C64(A), 16C65(AB),
16C662, 16C67, 16C74(AB), 16C77, 16C774, PIC16F871, 16F874(A),
16F877(A), 18C442, 18C452, and the 28-pin PIC16C62(AB),
16C63(A), 16C642, 16C66, 16C72(A), 16C73(AB), 16C76, 16C773,
PIC16F870, 16F872, 16F873(A),
16F876(A), 18C242, 18C252, 18F242, 18F248,
18F252, and 18F258. The
PIC16F877 or
PIC16F876 is recommended.

Since you build your project on a separate protoboard, you can
use the LAB-X2 for concurrent development of several projects without
the hassle of disassembly or the expense of multiple development
boards. Just reprogram the X2 and move it to the next project.
The interface connector on the LAB-X2 will also accept individual
wires, allowing you to use solderless circuit strips for quick,
easy prototyping.
The LAB-X2 is also available in convenient, cost-saving bundles.
See our Experimenter Bundles page
for more information.
