Hi all,
I have seen this micro and I think it is a very cool one - exists in DIP package, powerful and not expensive ($3.18 in MicrochipDirect for 1 piece quantity)
But I don't want to buy the demo board for $80 so I am thinking about designing my own. I am open to suggestions what to put on the board and I'll post the schematics here once I create something
What I want to put there is (except for the MCU itself)
1. ICSP/debug connector - for PICKit 2 etc ...
2. 3.3V LDO (so it can be powered from 5V supply)
3. All ports I/O on headers
4. characted LCD connection (e.g. standard 2x16 LCD)
5. RS-232
other ideas ?
