PIC16F628a development board

This is a very simple development board for the PIC16F628a (or any other 18 pin pic with the the ICSP on the same pins).

It has an ICSP pin header for use with a PICKIT2 (or anything that is compatible with it) and the three rows of pins: one for the microcontroller pins, one connected to the 5v and one to the gnd, arranged in a way that makes it easy to connect a servo or any other module directly to the board, without the need for a breadboard.

It has a built-in led on the RB5 pin, a reset button, a DC jack, AMS1117a regulator and a power led. There are pads for an external crystal oscillator and 22pf capacitors.



The ingredient list:

- One PIC16F628a and a 18 pin DIP socket
- Two 3mm leds.
- Two 10k resistors
- Two 1k resistors
- Two electrolytic capacitors of any value above 4.7uf and of any voltage rating above 16v
- One omron-like tactile switch
- One AMS1117-5v (it can be a lower voltage one like the 3v3 version, but you'll need to change the 1k resistors to
