This is roughly the same concept behind my ReadyBoard series, although these contain more of the power supply and support for peripherals like the UART right on board. Probably the most important difference is that the ReadyBoards all include a breadboard area so that the board becomes the complete project. They also come fully assembled. I thought of kits, but with modern manufacturing capabilities, a kit would be more expensive than to have the full board assembled. There are currently two variants. The ReadyBoard-01 (http://www.embedinc.com/products/ready01) if for generic 28 pin PICs like your board. The ReadyBoard-02 (http://www.embedinc.com/products/ready02) is for a 28 pin USB PIC, like the 18F2550. ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
