FLAB

FLAB is a FLASH Lab PC104 style Pic Micro prototyping development system. The hardware consists of two parts. The FLASH Lab main board holds a socketed high performance 40 pin PIC microcontroller preprogrammed with bootloader software, 20MHz crystal, an RS232 interface and all other necessary hardware including an onboard 5V regulator. The FLASH Lab proto board is an unpopulated matrix board for inclusion of custom specific circuitry. Both boards carry a gold plated 40 pin PC104 stack through connector which enables the interconnection of all PIC microcontroller I/O between the main board and any number of stacked prototype boards. Spacers are provided to enable a solid stack assembly to be constructed which can be used for experimentation. The FLASH Lab development system is programmed and verified over a serial connection connected to a PC/laptop. This process does not require the use of a hardware programmer. Instead, the FLASH Lab can program itself using MicroCode Loader software.

• Rapid PC104 style prototyping with plug and play modular architecture
• Does not require a programmer
• Includes software to program user application over a serial connection
• Includes incredibly powerful 16F877A or 18F452 processor
• MAX233 serial interface
• 3 pin header for direct access to serial port DTR, TX and RX signals
• Auto reset enable/disable jumper for boot loader programming
• Gold contacts on pass through I/O connections for superior electrical contacts
• Header posts for connecting any I/O pin to direct/buffered RS232 signals
