Description: 40 Pin Development board with built-in USB connection. Power and serial communications are provided by the FTDI USB<->RS232 converter chip. You don't have to do anything! Connect the USB cable from your computer to the board and a new serial com port will install under Windows. Also includes socket for I2C EEPROM - complete with pull-up resistors and connections to PIC pins. Perfect for basic debugging and serial data logging applications.

Hi All,
I have just received the board, but I am quite confused. Can anyone please tell me how this board works with PIC 16F887A. I hope I dont need an external eeprom??
By sending data from TX pin of the PIC can I get the data on my PC using UART module of the PIC?
Does the pin already connected to the appropriate pin of FTDI??
Or what other think I would need to do??
Thanks in advance.
I’m trying to use Mikroelectronics to program a 16F877A with this, but Mikro doesn’t detect the USB connection. Anyone know how I can fix this?
I tried using MPLab too, and none of the programmers seems to be working with it. Help!
