Circuit Boards for Computer Science Education

The 8-bit PIC Programmer board (BL0011) can be used with various programming languages including Assembly, C and Flowcode.  To program the PIC on the board a free tool called mLoader is available to download. 

The board comes with a powerful PIC16F18877 microcontroller.  The board presents all port pins collected together as E-blocks2 sockets.  The board takes power from an external power supply or from the micro USB port.

New features in E-blocks2 include:

  • Power now routed via the connector - no more flying leads
  • Board auto-ID functionality
  • Flowcode automatic project set up
  • Smaller footprint using up-to-date surface mount technology
  • Over current resettable fuse protection

Ghost

The E-blocks2 board is compatible with Ghost technology.  Using the board with Flowcode allows the use of the advanced Ghost debugging features, including in-circuit debugging, real-time pin monitoring, and bus decoding. 

E-blocks > E-blocks2

If using this board with First Generation downstream E-blocks, then you will need an E-blocks2 upstream to E-blocks downstream connector.
