28-Pin Flash-Stick Module

[Bruce]

If you like the BASIC Stamp or the convenience of having everything on a single small 28-pin module, then you're going to love these. Flash-Stick modules are available with your choice of PIC16F876 or PIC18F252 microcontrollers.

They plug right into the EPIC parallel or new EPIC serial programmers for instant ICSP with just the EPIC ZIF adapter 10-pin cables.

They have pin sockets for changing oscillators on the fly, onboard "low dropout" +5V regulators, headers for programming in-circuit, boot-loading, and support Microchip ICD/ICD2 in-circuit debug & programming.

Each module is boot-loader ready with a MAX232 + MCS loader program pre-installed & tested. All I/O-pins are labeled on the PCB silkscreen for quick & easy wiring into port I/O-pins.

Kind of like a Stamp on steriods, but programmable in C, assembly, or PBP with all the onboard peripherals of the PIC you select available for use.

If you have MicroCode Studio & PBP, it's almost the same as programming a Stamp module with 1-click compile, program & go. Great for running the MCS+ ICD as well.

Mention "MElabs Forum" on your order form, and we'll include the 4-foot 10-pin to DB-9 boot-loader/serial cable FREE of charge with your Flash-Stick order + 1 each 4MHz, 10MHz and 20MHz crystals.
