A review of a handful of PIC development boards

I don’t know what possessed me to make this video but I decided to go through some of the PIC microcontroller boards I have. I was inspired by my recent purchase of half a dozen of the new TAUTIC 18F26K22 development boards. This was money well spent. I think between this and the 20 pin board I’ll be pretty heartbroken if he stops making the boards.

You can buy many of the boards I reviewed on tindie or microcontrollershop. I didn’t mention that the 20 pin dev board TAUTIC has comes with a 16F1509, I have been dropping 18F14K22 into the board, and I also probably should have mentioned I used to use the ICD2 with the big old dev boards.. I don’t want anyone thinking their PICkit 3 will just plug-in read to go.. you’ll be making or buying a harness of some sort.

I feel like I’ve leaned on video a little too much lately. I’m looking for feedback on this: Love, hate, indifferent?

As a reminder: none of this product came to me for free or even at a reduced price that any one else couldn’t have gotten besides the PIC Clicker which I won randomly online two months ago.

I don't know why I blog, because? I have no agenda, just love electronics and want to share. I love to follow other experimenters/hardware hackers just to see what other people are working on. Shoot me a message if you blog.

  1. Thanks for sharing this. The Mikro Bus comes from Mikroelektronika, when it comes down to PICs I use their dev boards. Have you ever come across them?

    1. Thanks for sharing. Not until just recently; I just received a GPS2 click board from Mikroelektronika and have started working on a project.

    2. I have a PIC Clicker but none of the full boards. I’m working on a project now with it and a GPS module
