This low-cost demo board is for evaluation of our PIC18 MCU families. PIC18 is having highest performance in 8-bit architecture & has three different families: standard PIC18, PIC18 J-series and PIC18 K-series. This single development board supports dozens of the general purpose PIC18 families using various processor Plug-In Modules (PIMs). PICtail daughter boards enable many different accessory boards to connect to the PIC18 Explorer board for a flexible and complete development environment.

Features:

Supports Microchip’s 8bit PIC18 devices with Plug-In Modules, supporting 28 to 80-pin PIC18 devices.
PICtail daughter board connector for connection to standard expansion boards such as Ethernet, speech playback, and others.
