The Explore Ultra PIC Kit comes with all the things required, not just for this experiment but for the entire series. And even if you think of migrating to PIC or Arduino, you'll have breakout boards that fit on to this, hence we believe it is a great investment for learning hands on Embedded Systems. The kit is fully open source, you may use the schematics, the design files and all of the source code and build something cool on your own. And when you do that do not forget to share with us what you've done. We would be happy to see you building something cool.

The PIC breakout board comes with 16F877A, however  you may use any other 40 pin PIC MCUs like the 18F4550. The 16F877A comes with a UART bootloader hence no external programmer is required.

The Ultra One baseboard can additionally be used with  several AVR, 8051 and Arduino Microcontrollers, we beleive this kit to is a solid gate way to Embedded Systems. This is not it, even the USB to Serial Convertor on board is moduler, you can take it off and use it any of the other projects. The base board is fully open, no peripheral is directly connected to the MCU breakout board. You may connect any peripheral to any port/pin you wish.

The newer version also supports 128x64 Graphics display as well as 128x64 OLED display. The story of the Ultra Kit does not end here, we have even made the code libraries for all major 8 bit microcontrollers modular. It means you can simple upgrade or even switch your project to a different microcontroller/architecture without changing your application code. The kit ships with all the additional stuff mentioned below to get you started; kickstart you're embedded development. What are you waiting for?

In this tutorial, we will see how to install the Cp2102 Usb to Serial Drivers.
Download the Usb2Serial drivers for this link and follow the below steps to install the Usb-To-Serial drivers. 0Usb2Serial.png

Steps to Install the Drivers

Step1:Connect the USB2Serial breakout/Starter 8051 board to system using the USB cable. Open the device manager, now the device will be listed in other devices as proper drivers are not installed. Usb2Serial 01.png

Step2:Now right click on the Cp2102 Usb to UART Bridge Controller and select Update Driver Software option. Usb2Serial 02.png

Step3:Browse and select the folder where the drivers are copied. Usb2Serial 03.png

Step4:Select this folder for installing the drivers. Usb2Serial 04.png

Step4:The below screen shot shows the successful installation of drivers. Usb2Serial 05.png

Step5:Now the device will be listed under PORTS with unique serial port assigned. Usb2Serial 06.png
