Description

The Amotech Labs PIC18F/16F Development Board provides a comprehensive, all-in-one environment for learning and prototyping with Microchip Technology’s 8-bit PIC microcontroller families. It centers around a socketed 40-pin DIP footprint, allowing easy swapping of target MCUs like the pre-installed PIC18F452. The board integrates essential human-machine interface (HMI) components—a 16×2 character LCD, a 4×4 Matrix keypad, and dual seven-segment displays—enabling rapid development of interactive projects without external wiring.

Designed for educational and professional use, the platform simplifies the development workflow. It is powered via a modern USB-C connector and is fully compatible with Microchip Technology’s PICkit programming tools. Expansion capabilities are supported through accessible port headers and compatibility with the Universal Development Board (UDB) system for adding motor drivers, relay modules, or communication interfaces like GSM, making it a versatile foundation for industrial control and IoT system prototypes.

Key Features

  • Dedicated 40-pin DIP socket for flexible PIC18F and PIC16F microcontroller selection and replacement.
  • On-board integrated peripherals including a 16x2 LCD, 4x4 keypad, and dual seven-segment displays for immediate project feedback.
  • USB-C power delivery interface provides a stable +5V supply, enhancing portability and ease of use.
  • Standard 6-pin ICSP header for seamless programming and debugging with PICkit 3/3.5 tools.
  • Individual port access connectors (PORTA, PORTB, PORTC, PORTD) for easy connection to external sensors, actuators, and shields.
  • Analog input section with connectors for an LM35 temperature sensor and a 10k potentiometer, facilitating analog signal experiments.
  • Compatible with the Universal Development Board (UDB) ecosystem for expanded functionality with motors, relays, and GSM modules.

Applications

  • Embedded systems education and microcontroller training for students and educators.
  • Rapid prototyping of HMI-based projects like calculators, data loggers, and simple control panels.
  • Development platform for industrial automation prototypes using the UDB expansion system.
  • Foundation for IoT sensor nodes and data acquisition systems with analog sensor inputs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I program the microcontroller on this Amotech Labs board?

You program the microcontroller using a Microchip Technology PICkit 3 or PICkit 3.5 programmer. Connect the programmer's 6-pin cable to the board's ICSP header. Use the MPLAB X IDE or MPLAB IPE software on your computer to compile your code and flash the HEX file onto the target PIC MCU via the programmer. Ensure the board is powered via USB-C during this process.

Can I use microcontrollers other than the pre-installed PIC18F452?

Yes, the board supports any 40-pin DIP package PIC18F or PIC16F series microcontroller. Carefully remove the installed PIC18F452 from its socket and insert your chosen compatible MCU, ensuring the orientation notch aligns correctly. You must then develop and flash firmware specific to that new microcontroller model using the same PICkit programming workflow.

What is the purpose of the Universal Development Board (UDB) compatibility?

The UDB compatibility allows you to expand the board's functionality by connecting specialized add-on modules. These modules can include motor drivers for controlling DC or stepper motors, relay boards for switching high-power loads, or GSM modules for cellular communication, transforming this educational platform into a base for more advanced industrial IoT and automation prototypes.
