PIC18F2550 Very Simple Penguin

Pinguino is a Bootloader and SFoftware that allows you to load and reload programs within a microcontroller, this time we are going to develop a Pinguino with the most economical and simple parts that we can find. You can install the X4 version of the Pinguino IDE, which is the Software that will allow us to develop programs for our card, compatible with WINDOWS (win7 x64 tested) and Linux (Debian-Wheezy / Ubuntu tested), by following this link and installing svn where they explain how you install it on Debian Wheezy, I tried it and it works great for me. http://www.mefhigoseth.com.ar/2014/01/pinguino-ide-x4-en-linux.html

you don’t need to do the board and less the PCB layout. I hope this encourages people who have no experience with these training cards and if you are an Arduinist, this simple Penguin will not be expensive or require a lot of complexity.

Step 1: Simple and Cheap PIC 2550 Penguin

There is also a RUN Led in pic 6, I know it is wasting a pin but if you want you can do it without that First we solder the PIC 2550 SMD on the breadboard board in the previous image.

We proceed to weld the important elements of a penguin, here we see the 20 MHZ CRYSTAL that we are using. If you have questions about the Bootloader, you can go to the end of the page

Penguin PIC18F2550

Software Version Pinguino IDE X4 rev971
BootLoader version v4.8 18f2550 20 Mhz.

Tested on Debian Wheezy, on Ubuntu I know from friends that there is no problem either.

Well until another and keep experimenting.
