DEVCC - V18 ... Experience easy and simple 8 Bit PIC Programming

Note 1: A DEVCC [PROTOSHIELD], (Bare PCB) is free if you buy any BluBerry [DEVCC] product . When you add the BluBerry to your cart, do not add the ProtoShield as it will not be credited.

Note 2: Unless you make an alternative choice, the PIC16F1826 / PIC16F627/8 is supplied with the PCB.

The DEVCC-18 is a development platform for PICs with intended emphasis on home automation, alternative energy harvesting and environmental monitoring. The DEVCC-V40 includes the powerful and feature rich PIC16F1847 (Or similar device). The PCB is equipped with headers for shields (coming soon), dual power supplies and an MCP2200 for when you need to interact with PCB.

No PIC programmer is required, the platform includes boot loader firmware so it is plug and play out of the box.

• 5V0 / 3v3 Power supply - selectable
• 2.1 MM DC Jack
• Reset button
• 10 Way Headers with all I/O tracked to the headers
• MCP2200 + MINI USB Jack
• Possible to self power from USB

Our focus

Our focus is on producing extensible development systems that deliver useful features to our customers. We wanted to produce a development system that would cater to educational needs but also grow and enable that growth as the user became more competent with PIC devices. The base and then shield route was the practical option as this enables new shields to be produced catering to specific needs or projects.

The differentiator

The DEVCC-V18 is not just another shield hosting platform. Rather it is an educational tool and later will evolve into a deployable system with add on shields. Our focus is on home automation and alternative energy harvesting and the shields and products to follow will enable a DEVCC-V18 user to produce awesome DIY applications.
