Hardware Details

SOCKETS

40 Pin ZIF socket is provided for the processor. Microcontroller can be removed from the board easily. This socket is intended to use our development board as programmer to program other IC’s.

28 Pin and 18 Pin IC bases are given so the user can use 28 pin and 18 pin devices as well. But these devices have limited I/O lines; some of the on-board peripherals can be inaccessible. These can be accessed externally.

10 pin FRC box type connectors: This will be found in each section of PIC 16F/18F development board. A 10 pin FRC cable is used to make connection with the main board section. Any 8 bit port of microcontroller can be used for interconnection. Ports having less than 8 bits are used as control signals for various sections.

SOCKETS

Pins 1-8 are Data Pins. Pin 9 is VDD and the Pin 10 is GND. All 10 Pin FRC connectors will follow the same rule.

POWER SUPPLY

The external power can be AC or DC, with a voltage (15V, 1A output). The PIC board produces +5V using an LM7805 voltage regulator, which provides supply to the peripherals. Power supply is controlled through slide switch J2.

☞Close MPLAB

☞Plug the AC/DC adapter

☞Reopen MPLAB

Error 2: MPLAB may throw “target not found” or “unspecified device id “error, If it does, follow the instructions below

☞Ensure whether the PIC 16F/18F development board placed properly in ZIF jacket.

☞In Configure–>Select device, ensure PIC16F877A (or any) is selected.

Error 3: MPLAB may throw “Verified Failed” error, due to the following

☞Hex File may be old, so compile the project once and try Programming.

☞Faulty microcontroller device, Replace it with new one.
