Microchip: PICDEM Z Demonstration Kit
PICDEM™ Z 2.4 GHz Demonstration Kit is an easy-to-use evaluation and development platform for IEEE 802.15.4 application designers. This kit includes Microchip’s MRF24J40 transceiver and also features Microchip’s PIC18 high-performance microcontroller family. The kit includes all of the hardware, software source code and printed circuit board (PCB) layout files needed to rapidly prototype wireless products.
The demonstration kit (part # DM163027-4) includes the ZigBee protocol stack and two PICDEM Z boards, each with an RF daughter card. The demonstration board is also equipped with a 6-pin modular connector to interface directly with Microchip's MPLAB® ICD 2 in-circuit debugger (DV164005). With MPLAB ICD 2, the developer can reprogram or modify the PIC18 MCU Flash memory and develop and debug application code all on the same platform.
Microchip MPLAB IDE software is available for download on the Microchip web site at no charge.
