The 8-bit PIC Multi-programmer (BL0080) 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.

The board will program a wide range of 18, 28 and 40-pin PIC microcontroller devices from the PIC16F and PIC18F series.  The board presents all port pins collected together as E-blocks2 sockets and takes power from an external power supply or from the micro USB port.

A powerful 40 pin PIC16F18877 device is shipped with the multi-programmer.

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.

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