First board here is HF 45K20 starter kit and it of course allows you to evaluate the new 18F45K20 family of products. The board is really laid out to essentially represent the common applications for the 45K20. So it’s got a lot of basically analog input. Like basically an audio input section, attempt sensor section and it’s got a couple of output sections like the audio output and the screen here. The demo comes preloaded with non other than Kong. So if you ever get bored and you have got this kit and it only retails for 99.98 which is actually cheaper than the original Kong game. You can a play a game of Kong here. It could be programmed with PICkit 2, the ICSP port and you can also snoop in on the serial port on the I squared C bus using a PICkit serial connector here. It’s also got a PICTail expansion connector.

The next board over here is the PICDEM system management board. And this board was really developed as a proof of concept for several customers who had been implementing real time clock tips, off board ESquared, temperature management via fan and power sequencing with discreet components on systems like set top boxes and computers. What we have done here is we have shown them how to basically implement the entire functionality of all those chips on a single PIC microcontroller here with a very small foot print and a very low cost. This board retails for a $110. It includes a PICKit serial analyzer which allows you to basically snoop the bus. We have got a GUI that’s included, the logic that basically go in set temperature points with a fan so that you can really understand the changes that you are making to manipulate the fan control and basically talk to the box and talks to the ESquared as well.

The PICDEM mechatronics demonstration board is really an old standby for us. It retails for 149.99 and as you can see here it’s got lots of analogist bits. It’s got merits, its got a couple of motors, its got sensors. It is really designed to help all of you customers understand how to interface PIC microcontrollers with the outside world. So if you are doing a sensor based motor control you can actually take a light sensor control and basically input it then to the micro and have the input from that control you know what you do with the motor here. We have got several tutorials included with the kit that will basically walk you through several applications. PICDEM HPC Explorer 2 demonstration board retails for less than a $100 and it really is more of a pure development board. It’s got a couple of expansion headers here and the role of golden pins here which allow you to connect the processor modules. So what you would do here is buy this kit for less than $100 and depending on which high pin count 8bit product and I think I will buy the 64 pins that you would like to evaluate, you can basically plug in a new module for about $25 and evaluate and develop with that. So we have got several options here for customers depending on the price point you want to pay and the specific applications that you like to evaluate.
