Here's the current BETA schematic for my Dolphin 16F88 / 18F1220 Designer & Trainer.
It uses a 350 hole solderless breadboard.
16x2 backlit LCD display
RS232 with level converters
IR TSOP1138
10K POT
5V 500ma Power Supply
Sockets for either 16F88 or 18F1220
4 LEDs
4 Switches with pullups
ICD2 / Inchworm connector
User expansion plug
A / B / GND Screw terminal
Take a look, I'm working on the PCBs now. Looking forward to making a project book with it. There is an incredible amount of things you can do with a PIC and a few LEDs / Switches...
Sorry it's a lowres picture. When it's complete I'll post a mich nicer one.
