The best PIC demoboard

[antico2]

Hi, what's the better PIC development board to develop application that use smart-card, one-wire protocol, i2c and of course USB connection ?

thanks for your help

check on mikroelektronika, easypic5. Use 'search' on google.
good luck

"Best" is a very relative adjective. For me the best demo boards are the free ones

Check Proteus VSM's virtual demo boards, you will see what I mean.

I never buy a development kit. I build by myself.

It's a good think for who can do it, can you share your idea ?

I'm taking some schematic from melabs and tring to have a good idea about what's to do ( usb port, serial, lcd etc.).

I have Version 3 PICmicro(R) MCU development board from :http://www.matrixmultimedia.com and You have datasheet pdf for this board there./shcematic.
Good luck

 For mobile engineer homebrew board is the best modular conception, like http://www.winpicprog.co.uk/pic_tutorial_hardware.htm .
 You not need all modules in same time.
 About 7 years ago I was build boards like this system for PIC16F84, now Im using this modules for AVR AT90S2313, now building motherboard for Atmega16 for use its modules.

I can't tell you what is "best" but I can share my experiences.

I began my PIC experience with a home built demo board/programmer that was centered heavily around the PIC16F84. It allowed an LCD to be connected, had several programmable LEDs, two potentiometers and some switches. It was more an introduction to programming the 16F84 than anything as the design of the board was very limited and inflexible.

After that, I discovered the SimmStick range of products and I stand by them as a learning tool. I started out with the DT001 programming board and several daughter boards; DT101, DT111, DT102 and DT106. Due to the modular design and ease of assembly, they allowed me to explore different projects in any order I chose. Then the SimmBuss board came out and the true demo/experimenter possibilities were released.

I still use the SimmStick base for some of my experiments. I usually jumper across from a larger breadboard and save the SimmStick side of things for diagnostic indicators, LCD feedback and RS232/RS485 communication.

You can  find out more about SimmStick products at http://www.anonym.to/?http://www.dontronics.com

What's more, they have 50% off Simm products right now! Just keep in mind that you have to build the boards yourself. There's a lot of good info there even if you don't choose to go down that path

Good luck!
