{"id":8265,"sku":"DEV-08265","name":"USB Bit Whacker - 18F2553 PTH Kit","description":"
This is an easy to assemble, through-hole kit version of the popular UBW board. This is a spectacular little development board featuring the PIC18F2553. Based on the work of Brian Schmalz, the UBW is a small board with a command interpreter for basic input and output control. When attached to a Windows\/Max OS X\/Linux computer, the UBW will show up as an RS232 Com port! You control the individual I\/O pins on the PIC through simple serial commands. This is a kit and includes a pre-programmed 18F2553 and both male and female connectors so you can choose which connector you would prefer.<\/p>\n\n
The 18F2553 comes pre-programmed with a USB bootloader. This means you can create HEX files using any compiler or assembler (C18<\/a>, CC8e<\/a>, SDCC<\/a>) and then load that HEX file onto the PIC without an external programmer - directly over USB! Power is obtained over USB.<\/p>\n\n Please download the Microchip USB Bootloader below. Please see the UBW home page<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n\n **Note: **This product is a collaboration with Brian Schmalz. A portion of each sales goes back to them for product support and continued development.<\/p>\n\n Kit Parts:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Documents:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n <\/input><\/input><\/p>\n\n <\/input><\/input><\/p>\n\n <\/input><\/input><\/p>","description_markdown":"This is an easy to assemble, through-hole kit version of the popular UBW board.
