Subject: Re: [PIC] Free junk board 18F8720 Prices where given are from Digikey catalog. As a whole the board is probably hard to use. But recovering parts may be harder. Well over $1000 of components on 100 boards IF one has a use for them. The 18F8720 is over $10/1200 and easy enough to reclaim. DS1307 is an RTC in SOIC and has crystal (32 kHz) - easy to reclaim and possibly as useful as anything there . >$1.50 hundreds AT29C020 memory is 2 MBit & of questionable worth CX16245 is a 16bit non inverting bus transciever. 48 tssop. Under $1 CAA2X 16 is apparently a 16 MHz crystal oscillator. Small leadless pkg a little hard to unsolder or to reuse. R Board image here if not viewable on James' link. This works for me on an anonymous test. https://scontent-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xft1/t31.0-8/11072963_84524856888= 1 973_6502126303659331917_o.jpg On 13 May 2015 at 11:52, James Newton wrote: > There are about 100 of these boards available free from a local (Escondido, > CA) eWaste recycler.
