Small, low-cost USB PIC16F1455 Breakout board kit with an open breadboarding area

Shipped from the USA

Small, low-cost USB PIC16F1455 Breakout board kit with an open breadboarding area. This board is capable of Full-Speed USB communications using a minimal design. Assembly is very straight-forward and DIY friendly as the design uses all through-hole components (even the mini-USB connector). Included in the kit is the following (PCB, PIC16F1455, 2x .33uF Capacitors, Mini-USB Connector, 5 pin programming connector, 10k 1/4W resistor)

NOTE: No Software Included. Can be programmed with any PIC Compatible in-circuit programmer or debugger (ICD2, ICD3, PicKit2, PicKit3, Etc.)

Specifications

• PIC16F1455 Full-Speed USB PIC
• 48MHz Clock Speed using the internal oscillator
• USB self-tunes from the USB Host which eliminates the need for an external crystal)
• 14Kbytes Linear Program Memory Addressing
• 1024 Bytes Linear Data Memory Addressing

Input / Output

• 8 General Purpose I/O pins exposed (RA4, RA5, RC0, RC1, RC2, RC3, RC4, RC5)
• 1 General Purpose I/O pin shared with VPP/MCLR (RA3)
• 10-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter with 5 inputs (AN3, AN4, AN5, AN6, AN7)
• Two 10-bit PWM modules (PWM1, PWM2)
• Note: Some pins are shared on this PIC and may not be available for simultaneous use, please see the full datasheet for details.

Example applications

• Data Acquisition – The 10-bit ADC with programmable internal references gives multiple input ranges
• LED cubes, flashing, displays, etc. – The I/Os and PWMs allow a wide variety of configurations. The PCB allows for the addition of 8 LEDs with no additional components to be used in a PWM configuration (i.e. heartbeats, bar scanners, etc.). Up to 72 LEDs may be Charlieplexed using external drivers.
• anything else that you can think of within the constraints of this microcontroller…
