Lab X2

The LAB-X2 contains the circuitry required by the PICmicro® MCU to operate: 5-volt power supply, oscillator, reset circuit, as well as an RS-232 serial port and basic analog and digital I/O. Both 40 and 28-pin DIP microcontrollers are accommodated. All of the pins on the MCU are wired to a 40 pin connector which can be used to connect your prototype circuitry.

Many different projects may be created using the LAB-X2. The LAB-X2 can run programs written in assembler, C,  PicBasic, PicBasic Pro and Proton BASIC.
 
  • Inputs: 3 pushbuttons, 1 potentiometer
  • Outputs: 3 LEDs, 1 RC servo connector
  • I/O: RS232 interface
  • Misc: Reset button, 5-volt regulator, 4MHz crystal oscillator
  • In-circuit programming connector
  • Prototyping area for additional circuits

The LAB-X2 is ideal for use with Boot Loader software, enabling you to download your code directly to the X2 without a programmer, using the serial port on your computer.

Since you build your project on a separate protoboard, you can use the LAB-X2 for concurrent development of several projects without the hassle of disassembly or the expense of multiple development boards. Just reprogram the X2 and move it to the next project. The interface connector on the X2 will also accept individual wires, allowing you to use solderless circuit strips for quick, easy prototyping.
