40 Pin PIC Terminal Development Board

sku: DEV-00027 RoHS Compliant

Description: Want a serial LCD with some muscle? Maybe you just need a compact development board with a USB connection. This development board is what you've been looking for. The PIC-MT-USB uses a 40-Pin PIC at 20MHz, takes power from the USB port, communicates serially through the FTDI USB<->RS232 IC, interfaces directly to a backlit 2x16 character LCD, and leaves 16 general purpose IO pins for your wildest ideas. 

Take a look at the example code for a quick start into using the USB-Serial connection for directly printing to the LCD screen.

  • FR-4, 1.5 mm (0.062"), green soldermask, white silkscreen component print
  • 20MHz crystal
  • LCD 16x2 alphanumeric display with backlight
  • 2 Buttons
  • Bi-color LED
  • Power supply taken from USB port
  • Virtual USB-RS232 port
  • ICSP/ICD connector for programming with PIC Programmers and Debuggers (for PICs with ICD support)
  • DIL40 microcontroller socket
  • Four mounting holes
  • Extension headers for PIC unused ports

Dimensions: 95x36mm (3.7x1.4")

Drivers: This board uses the FT232BM from FTDI. Drivers are here.

Spark Fun MT-USB Example Code - Code to get you started with the LCD, buttons, internal EEPROM, etc.

Board does not come with PIC installed. Please see a list of related ICs below.

    Hi
    This is the lcd controller
    HD44780U
    And here is a working code for this device:
    http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24661
    You have to change these pins to fit your this board like that:
    #define LCD_DB4 PIN_D4
    #define LCD_DB5 PIN_D5
    #define LCD_DB6 PIN_D6
    #define LCD_DB7 PIN_D7
    #define LCD_E PIN_D2
    #define LCD_RS PIN_D0
    #define LCD_RW PIN_D1
    And the LCD LIGHT is on PIN_D3
    The code is for the CCS C compiler.

    Beginner question, just getting started with PIC micros. Bought this PIC-MT-USB and the recommended 16F877A. Would greatly appreciate if someone could provide basic step-by-step first time through instructions on how to load and run the MT-USB example code via the USB connection to Win7 PC (no RS232 port). Do I need to put a bootloader on the 16F877A first? If so, can I do that with the USB connection to the PIC-MT-USB?

    Is this developpement code is compatible with different 40 pins PIC than the PIC16F887A ? Ex : PIC18F4450-I/P
