16F87X/18F4X2 Main Board

Single Board Computer Module for PIC® 44 pin PLCC Flash memory devices

A programming cable (supplied with the TS-18C658-1-PB programming adapter) connects from the Flash main board to a standard programmer such as the PICSTART PLUS® via the TS-18C658-1-PB programming adapter (Sold separately)
Replaceable Daughter board, with proto area duplicated from Main board proto area, can be removed and replaced for different projects
The same daughter board that fits the 17C756/18C658 68 pin PLCC High-End proto board will fit the High-End/Mid-range 44 pin PLCC Flash proto board; the I/O connections for the latter board will correspond to those marked "18C658" on the former board, minus the I/O pins that are not available in the 44 pin PLCC package
RS232 interfacing circuitry & DB9 connector interfaced to the UART
External 20.0 MHz Oscillator to clock processor
2-wire I2C Bus signals SDA and SCL are routed to proto area, as well as all other I/O

Sample Programs, Tutorials, Examples:	Document Type:	View/Download:
Assembly Language Code Template for the 18C658 that uses Timer 0 to create a 2 millisecond real-time interrupt; it also provides a 2-millisecond routine, a 100-millisecond routine, and a 1-second routine.	Sample Program	658Temp.asm
Assembly Language Code that uses the 2-millisecond routine of 658Temp.asm to poll the serial port for an incomming ASCII character. The character that is received is incremented and sent back out the serial port, along with a CR and LF. Thus, if an 'f' is received, a 'g' will be returned. The serial port is set up for 9600 Baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no hardware flow control.	Sample Program	658Serial.asm
Assembly Language Code Template for the 16F877 that uses Timer 1 to create a 2 millisecond real-time interrupt; it also provides a 2-millisecond routine, a 100-millisecond routine, and a 1-second routine.	Sample Program	877Temp.asm
Assembly Language Code that uses the 2-millisecond routine of 877Temp.asm to poll the serial port for an incomming ASCII character. The character that is received is incremented and sent back out the serial port. Thus, if an 'f' is received, a 'g' will be returned. The serial port is set up for 9600 Baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no hardware flow control.	Sample Program	877Serial1.asm
