EasPic6 3.3 volts?

[ScaleRobotics]

Hey guys, those of you that have the EasyPic6 development boards, do they allow voltage adjustment for 3.3 volt parts, like the 18f26j50?

Thanks,

Walter

Walter,

Have a look at the EasyPIC6 manual (http://www.mikroe.com/pdf/easypic6/e...anual_v100.pdf) - page11 shows the schematic for the power supply, which appears single rail 5v

From the Mikroelectronica forum http://www.mikroe.com/forum/viewtopi...121318#p121318

Thanks Malc. All those jumpers, but none for 3.3 volts? I guess I was hopeful. I have an EasyPic6 coming in the mail, but it looks like I will have to breadboard the 3 volt varieties.

Thanks,

Walter

It'll probably be a feature of the EasyPIC7 board

As an EasyPic6 user, I posed the same question to Microelektronica in a ticket to their tech support. It took a couple of interactions, but they do have a solution if you are using the extended ports on the EasyPic6 with one of their ProtoBoard. Here are my exchanges with them in reverse chronological order if you are interested.

You can use EasyPROTO for your application.

As I said in my previous email, the 5V-3.3V translator won't work when using more than one of the port expanders with PROTOboard.

Another approach that might solve my problem would be using flat cables from all 3 ports of the EasyPic6 to the PROTOboard, which would then permit insertion of the 5V-3.3V translator into the circuit for just the single port that I need to convert the voltages for. I see on your web site your product "Flat Cable 1 Extra Development Board", but it has female connectors on both ends. What I would need is a flat cable with female on one end (for connection to the EasyPic6) and male on the other (for connection to the PROTOBoard)....do you have such a product? If so, what is the price?

Hi!

We recommend you to use our 5V-3.3V Voltage Translator.

That way you will not have to worry about different voltage levels.

I have used 3.3V PIC's (including 16-bit devices such as the PIC24 in the picture) with an EasyPIC4.
