Evaluation Board

PIC16F84 Evaluation Board

Introduction When I set, some time ago, about working with a PIC 16×84, I had immediately to face the problem to have a permanently and stably working circuit, without mounting the PIC on a prototype board every time. Searching on the net, I didn’t find anything really complete for a PIC 16F84 / 16C84; I
