Title: 40 Pin PIC development board, opinion wanted
Post by: Admin on July 12, 2006, 01:49:22 PM
I am thinkin of getting this $16 PIC development board:

It appears to have all the hard work done already (crystal, rs232, power regulation, etc.) and has lotsa room to do what I want with it (run about 16 servos in preprogrammed motions while reading at least 8 sensors in a looped function)

I will use it with the $11 PIC 18F4550

Anyone have any thoughts? Things it might be missing or to watch out for that I might not notice?
