The ETM180, an all new PIC18 development board is packed with all the features that unleash the power and simplicity of the PIC18. The kit is a useful tool in colleges and educational institutions that allows students and teachers to discover Microchip's RISC architecture and user friendly environment. Nowadays, many developers are opting for Microchip Technology owing to the vast array of tools and support that is available. Kit brings you closer to understanding and implementing your ideas. The kit comes loaded with a complete library of firmware routines, drivers and examples that should clear all your queries. The kit also includes the FREE MPLAB IDE and FREE PIC18 C Lite Compiler for a complete code development environment. At the heart is the PIC18F8722 processor, ideal for large low power (nanoWatt) and connectivity applications that benefit from the availability of four serial ports: double synchronous serial ports (I²C™ and SPI™) and double asynchronous (LIN capable) serial ports. Large amounts of RAM memory for buffering and FLASH program memory make it ideal for instrumentation panels; TCP/IP enabled embedded applications as well as metering and industrial control and monitoring applications. While operating up to 40 MHz, it is also backward software and hardware compatible with the PIC18F8720. |
