Bit Whacker PIC USB Development Board
A USB Enabled PIC Development Board
Do it yourself: an inexpensive ( about $20 ) kit from SparkFun, or assembled: ( about $25 ) from SparkFun. Close enough to parts cost so that you might routinely use it as a basis for your projects.
Is this the first BitWhacker add on ( probably not ). A new project just beginning: Analog Whacker. This lets you use the BitWhacker to deal with the analog world as in addition to digital one. We will have some special software to work with this device as well.
On our own Site a special communications tool, works with BitWhacker and other microcontrollers as well.
- Microcontroller Serial Communications Articles which includes the following ( and perhaps more )
If you are a BitWhacker User without your own site, why not expand information about the BitWhacker Here.
