A USB version of Flash Lab, USB MicroStak is a PC104 style Pic micro controller development
system consisting of a main micro controller board with USB to UART connectivity (USB1) and
stackable
bootloader firmware for a range of 40 pin PICs. This means that no hardware programmer is
needed to programme the selected PIC, only a USB connection to a PC and a standard *.hex file
produced by virtually any compiler or assembler.
Features include:
All I/O lines, PIC functions, 5V, 3.3V and reset line connect to the PC104 connector. Prototyping
boards connect by stacking and picking up the PC104 connections. Spacers, nuts and screws are
included to enable a compact and solid assembly to be constructed which can be used as a
finished project if so required. Prototype circuits can be saved intact to be used again, thus saving
repetitive wiring work for future projects, the same mainboard being used to develop many
projects. Prototype circuits developed for use with a Flash Lab mainboard can also be used with
MicroStak.
The second USB2 socket can utilise the PIC USB port once the PIC has been programmed.
USB1 and USB2 connections can be used simultaneously. PC USB connectivity enables a wide
range of functions to be realised.
The USB MicroStak mainboard is assembled utilising quality components requiring only a
bootloader PIC, the end user’s programme and optional custom circuitry constructed on a
stackable proto board. Ideal for development, it can also be utilised as part of a finished system
and is also an ideal low-cost replacement for PLC modules and data loggers.
