EB017 Patch Board Block Diagram

• Click EB017-30-1 for a datasheet.
• The male D-type connectors fit into the Female connectors of an upstream board.
• This board lets you build and test your own PICmicro circuits.
• BE AWARE OF:
  • the current limit per PIN of the PICmicro is 25mA. Stay well below this limit!
  • Connecting input devices on pins that are configured as outputs (see switch board EB007)
  • The total current limit of the PICmicro (all of the pins) is 200mA.
• Of you want to test a less permanent circuit, you may prefer the EB016 Prototype Board.

An example of how the Patch board is used

These two photographs show how you can use the Patch board. On the bottom side of the patch board you can use 'wiring pencil wire' to speed up the prototyping process. This thin wire has a layer of polyurethane insulating coating that burns away with a soldering iron to reveal the copper wire beneath. To use it you just apply the soldering iron for a second and then solder it to the appropriate component pin.
