Hi people, my new MikroElectronica EasyPIC6 development board arrived. (actually I've had it for about a week).
The EasyPIC6 has the new features with the LCD touch screen, the onboard COG text LCD and the 16bit Microchip MCP port expander IC.
If you are familiar with the MikroE development boards you'll notice this one marks the change to SMD construction (finally), and they are making good use of the extra density by adding new peripherals.

I did a "review" of it here;
EasyPIC6 PIC development board review.
One new feature that looks pretty promising is that they have now added an off-board ICD connector that will let you connect a Microchip ICD2 etc to ICD the PIC on the board, I know lots of people like their Microchip ICD.
AND I believe (but not yet tested) that the ICD port will be able to send programming data out so the EasyPIC6 should be usable as a proper programmer in it's own right as well as just being a dev board.

Anyway I'm loving it, it's a really nice bit of hardware.
PS. I've done a couple of quick projects for it too;
1. Freq/RPM meter
2. 10bit PWM signal generator (to 50 nanoseconds PWM resolution)
You can see the projects here;
