Development board backplane
Plug-in part by wave soldering process , the board also neat reverse .
The curved surface of the pad foot , guaranteed not to scratch your desktop.
The system uses a fully independent module design , DIY leave enough space to the user
can use any combination of the modules for a variety of experiments.
The benefits of individual modules is self-evident , but for beginners operation is relatively
cumbersome , we prepared a detailed operating instructions for each experiment , including plug wire method ,
with plug wire schematics.This allows to users in the shortest possible time , to develop, test and fix it’s software & hardware.
Full instruction for every component (sample page)
Operation of the programmer is very simple, just press the icon PP2011
The programmer automatically will recognizew the board and install the communication
betwee it and the PC. You then can choose your .hex file , adjust ( if you want ) the flage
and programme the microcontroller.
