BIGPIC6 Development System - PIC Microcontroller Board
BIGPIC6 is development system that supports 64 and 80-pin PIC microcontrollers (it comes with a PIC18F8520)
State-Of-The-Art very fast
USB 2.0 programmer on-board
with simplified driver installation
The mikroICD is a hardware tool designed for testing and debugging programs on PIC MCU.
There is on-board Port Expander (MCP23S17, the 16-bit I/O expander that uses SPI communication).
BIGPIC6 has on-board Touch Screen controller with connector for easier Touch Panel connecting.
What's on BIGPIC6 Board

Menu Keypad enables easy and fast menu browsing for your prototype device.
There is 16-bit Port Expander on-board if there is need for more inputs or outputs.
Double RS-232 communication with PC or another microcontroller.
System can be easily configured via clearly marked DIP switches.
Digital thermometer DS1820 for measuring temperature from -55ºC to 125ºC.
64 and 80-pin TQFP MCU Cards are used for connecting microcontroller.
There is Potentiometer available for testing multiple AD conversion and comparators.
Power Supply select - USB or external. Also there is a switch for turning on/off system.
There is voltage reference on-board so you can select VCC (5V) or 4.096 V for ADC.
All pins are connected to IDC10 connectors for further expansion and connecting.
67 diodes for displaying states of all pins on the microcontroller at the same time.
Pull up or Pull down port defining.
67 buttons for program developing needs.
DIP switch for separating port pins from Pull up or Pull down
Very fast USB 2.0 programmer with mikroICD support on board.
LCD display plugs in via a connector on PC board.
Character LCD contrast potentiometer.
Touch screen controller with connector is available on-board.
External power supply can be DC or AC.
There is Serial EEPROM (24AA01) that can store up to 1Kbit data and uses I2C communication.
GLCD - Graphic display 128x64.
All pins are marked on the back of the board. These marks describe connections.
There is jumper for voltage level selection to be applied when a button is pressed (GND or +5V).
There is connector on-board for connecting External ICD.
There is a reset circuit that is connected to the MCLR Pin of the microcontroller.
There is Graphic LCD contrast potentiometer on-board.
BIGPIC6 MCU Cards support PIC microcontrollers in TQFP package. Besides, an oscillator and pads connected to the microcontroller pins are also provided on the MCU card. These pads make placing of MCU card easy when it is used in the target device.
Port Expander features MCP23S17, the 16-bit I/O expander that features SPI(tm) clock speeds up to 10 MHz. Also, there are LEDs incdicating states of port expander pins.
There is set of buttons arranged in a block which is called Menu Keypad. Those keypads are marked with digits and other symbols but not a complete set of alphabetical letters.
Touchscreens are popular in heavy industry and in other situations, such as museum displays or room automation, where keyboards and mouse do not allow a satisfactory, intuitive, rapid, or accurate interaction by the user with the display's content. Such displays can be attached to computers or, as terminals, to networks. Touchscreens also have made these devices more usable.
Touch Screen Specification [43KB]
The Graphic LCD (GLCD) allows advanced visual messages to be displayed. The most commonly used graphic LCD has a screen resolution of 128x64 pixels.
Touch screen is display overlay which have the ability to display and receive information on the same display. The effect of such overlay allows a display to be used as an input device.
The standard LCD is probably the most widely used data visualization component. Normally, it can display two lines of 16 alphanumeric characters, each made up of 5x7 pixels.
3 in 1 Development Tool - Development Board + USB 2.0 on-board programmer - PICFlash2 + mikroICD on-board: mikroICD is a highly effective tool for Real-Time debugging on a hardware level. The ICD debugger enables you to execute a mikroC, mikroPascal or mikroBasic program on a host PIC microcontroller and view variable values, Special Function Registers (SFR), memory and EEPROM as the program is running. Also there is PICFlash USB 2.0 – an ultra fast USB 2.0 programmer for fast MCU programming. Continuing its tradition as the fastest PIC programmer on the market, the new PICFlash with mikroICD now supports more PIC microcontrollers giving the developer a wider choice of PIC microcontrollers for further prototype development.
