Board looks very nice! >From the web description: "Board is standard Eurocard size, 160 x 100 mm (6.30 x 3.94 inches). " I haven't worked with VME card cages in years but for those that do make use of the DIN connector on the right, it would be nice to have the top row of connectors on the left hand side of the board. Depending on how close components are to the top and bottom, the board could then be slid into VME rails to connect to a DIN connector backplane. Not sure there's a market for this but the Eurocard and DIN references brought back projects from 20 years ago. :-) thanks chuckc -----Original Message----- From: Olin Lathrop Sent: Sep 9, 2005 7:00 PM To: "Microcontroller discussion list - Public." Subject: [AD] New PIC prototyping board The QuickProto-01 PIC prototyping board is the first in a series of PIC prototyping boards from Embed Inc. This board was designed with input from the PIClist and is now available in volume. The power supply, RS-232 interface, debug LEDs, ICD2 or ICSP interface, and layout of crystal oscillator circuit are all taken care of. You can concentrate on the unique parts of your project quickly and easily, while ending up with a sturdy result with good electrical characteristics. At $40 for singles and $33 for three, these boards cost less than an engineer's time to scrounge the parts and cobble up the basics, and will be useful to many hobbyists too. The QuickProto-01 is for PICs with the standard 28 pin DIP pinout, like the 16F876, 18F252, and many more. It does not support dsPICs.
