EasyPIC PRO v7 is released!

EasyPIC PRO v7 is released!

We are really excited to present you with the new best place for big PICs - EasyPIC PRO v7 board.

Image

For the first time in history we have managed to combine all the features of BIGPIC6 and LV18F v6
boards, which supported high pin count PICs into the unique EasyPIC™ PRO v7. Supporting
microcontrollers in both 5V and 3.3V power supply technology, this board is truly fantastic tool for
development. Newly redesigned MCU cards are here to stay. They are well organized and cover all
high-pin-count PIC® microcontrollers in TQFP packaging.

As in EasyPIC v7, we've grouped PORT headers, LEDs and Buttons into Input-Output groups, thus
making them easier to use than ever before. We've equipped the boards with tri-state DIP
switches, so placing pull-up or pull-down jumpers to desired pins is now just a matter of pushing
the switch.

Connectivity is also the focus of this board. We've provided two separate PORT headers: one in
Input-Output groups, and another one on the right side of the board, so you will be able to
access those pins from which ever place is more convenient.

Board is well thought through. It has dual power supply, supporting both 3.3V and 5V
microcontrollers. It's like having two boards instead of one!

Probably the best feature of the board is powerful on-board mikroProg™ programmer and
In-Circuit debugger, capable of programming almost 100 high pin count PIC18® microcontrollers!
Debugging is supported with all mikroElektronika PIC compilers - mikroC, mikroBasic and mikroPascal.
Great performance and easy operation are it's top features.

EasyPIC PRO™ v7 has three mikroBUS™ sockets so you will be able to use fast growing number
of available Click™ Boards, which will make development easier then ever. No configuration or
jumping, just plug-n-play.

Board is enriched by new modules: Serial EEPROM, Piezo Buzzer and support for both DS1820,
and LM35 Temperature sensors. Ethernet is supported over RJ45 connector, so you will be
able to exploit internal Ethernet modules of PIC18FX7J60 microcontrollers.

We've spend days making and fine-tuning User Manuals and Schematics, and we think you are
going to be thrilled with the new design. We've put a lot of work into making them very
informative, with lots of clear photos, good explanations and well thought organization.

EasyPIC PRO™ v7 is here. It has a new webpage with lots of useful information including image
gallery, MCU cards tab and other. We invite you to go there and get to know why this cool
board is the best place for big PICs.

Yours sincerely,

Hi,
congrat for this great work.
Just asking: is this board compatible with old BIGPIC-5 mcu modules?

Hi,

I'm afraid that the older MCU cards for BIGPIC5 are not compatible with the EasyPIC PRO v7.

Regards,
Filip.

Hello octal,

Old cards are not compatible, but the new ones are well organized and the same card pinout covers all supported microcontrollers.

We intend these cards to stay for good. Product stability and forward compatibility is very important in this case. Cards themselves have excellent performance and design, PCB quality is the very best. We provide all the necessary documentation, and enough cards on stock so you can rely on them and use them even in your final devices.

Best regards

I was just asking because I already own some modules for my BIGPIC5. I'm going to buy this board with some additional modules. New boards from mikroE seems to be really better designed, and additonnal modules are not that expensive (comparatively to the time we can win in development using ready made mcu modules).
