The Ultimate PIC Starter USB Development Board comes with PIC 16F877A MCU with inbuilt serial bootloader, USB to UART convertor eliminating need of a external programmer! The board also has 16x2 LCD Breakout, test switch, LEDs and all pins of the MCU taken out. This will help you get started with PIC development.

Features:

16F877A MCU with ds30 bootloader
LCD 16x2 breakout.
Serial Interface RS232.
Test switches (1) and LEDs(3).
All Port pins pins available for peripheral interfacing.
Dimensions: 95mm X 70mm.
1.6mm Glass Epoxy, FR4 PCB.
Wave Soldered.

Flashing the Hex file using ds30 bootloader

STEP 1: Download and install the DS30 bootloader gui.

Step 2:

Browse the hex file
Select the appropriate MCU
Select the baud rate as 9600
Select the correct com port detected on your computer, when using USB to serial convertor check for exact COM port number in device manager

Step 3: The board uses DTR pin of the CP2102 USB to Serial Convertor to reset the MCU. Set it up as shown in the image below.

Step 4: Click on the write option to flash the hex file,. Images below show the sequence.
