Description

The Amotech Labs PIC18F/16F Development Board is a dedicated prototyping platform designed for embedded engineers and students working with Microchip Technology’s 40-pin DIP PIC microcontroller families. It centralizes essential development tools, including a direct PICkit programming interface and a flexible USB-C power supply with configurable logic levels, streamlining the code-test-debug cycle.

Built with hands-on experimentation in mind, the board integrates common I/O peripherals like a keypad, numeric displays, and status LEDs, allowing immediate functional testing without external wiring. The accessible DIP socket and port headers facilitate easy MCU swaps and direct connection to external circuitry, making it an ideal base for learning embedded fundamentals or developing compact control systems.

Key Features

  • Universal 40-pin DIP socket compatible with PIC16F and PIC18F series microcontrollers.
  • Direct support for Microchip Technology PICkit 3 and PICkit 3.5 programmers via dedicated onboard connector.
  • Modern USB-C port provides +5V input, with a jumper to select 5V or 3.3V operating voltage for the board.
  • Integrated human interface components: 4x4 Matrix keypad, two seven-segment displays, a status LED, and two tactile push buttons.
  • All microcontroller I/O ports (A, B, C, D, E) broken out to labeled headers for easy external module connection.
  • Includes an analog input slot and expansion connectors for adding sensors, communication modules, or displays.
  • Compact and self-contained design perfect for educational labs, hobbyist projects, and professional prototyping.

Applications

  • Embedded systems education and microcontroller programming courses.
  • Prototyping and testing firmware for PIC-based control systems.
  • Developing hobbyist projects like custom interfaces, data loggers, or simple automation controllers.
  • Bench testing and validation of PIC microcontroller circuits before custom PCB design.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I program a microcontroller on this board?

Connect a Microchip Technology PICkit 3 or PICkit 3.5 programmer to the dedicated 6-pin header on the board. Use MPLAB X IDE or MPLAB IPE software on your computer to write, compile, and flash your code directly to the PIC MCU installed in the 40-pin DIP socket. Ensure the board is powered via USB-C during programming.

How do I select between 5V and 3.3V operation?

Locate the voltage selection jumper near the power input section. Place the jumper cap on the two pins labeled for 5V or 3.3V to set the entire board's logic level. This setting determines the voltage supplied to the MCU's VDD pin and the I/O headers. Always match this voltage to the requirements of your specific PIC microcontroller and any connected peripherals.

Can I use this board with PIC microcontrollers not listed?

The board is specifically designed for 40-pin Dual In-line Package (DIP) PIC microcontrollers from the PIC16F and PIC18F families. It may not be physically or electrically compatible with other package types (like QFP or SMD) or MCU families (like PIC24 or dsPIC) due to pinout and socket differences. Always verify your specific MCU's pinout against the board's socket.
