Summary of PIC DEVELOPMENT BOARDS PIC16F84 PIC16F873
This article describes two PIC microcontroller development boards: the PIC16F873 and the PIC16F84. The PIC16F873 board includes an LCD, keyboard, piezo sounder, Real Time Clock with backup power, I2C bus, and a potmeter for A/D conversion, utilizing Shane Tolmie's bootloader. The simpler PIC16F84 board features a keyboard and a 4-digit LED display, running demo software with a clock and calculator function.
Parts used in the PIC Development Boards:
- PIC16F873 Microcontroller
- LCD Display
- Keyboard
- Piezo Sounder
- Real Time Clock with Backup Power
- I2C Bus
- Potmeter for A/D Conversion
- PIC16C84 or PIC16F84 Microcontroller
- 4-Digit LED Display
