Building Circuits with PICmicros

<^< Construction Methods | Course Index | Prototype Board >^>

We have looked at how to use Flowcode to generate a flowchart.

We have burned the resulting program into a PICmicro chip, and tested it using the PICmicro development board.

All that remains now is to build a circuit with the PICmicro chip, adding inputs and outputs, and any additional components needed to interface them to the PICmicro.

You can build circuits in a number of ways:

• Plug the components into a prototype board.
• Solder them onto a piece of stripboard, where parallel copper strips act as the connecting wires.
• Solder the components on a printed circuit board (PCB), where a pattern of copper tracks act as the wires to join them together.
• Using E-blocks Patch and Prototyping boards.
