Demonstration Kit Microchip PICDEM Z (DM163027-4)
PICDEM Z 2.4 GHz Demonstration Kit is an easy-to-use evaluation and development platform for IEEE 802.15.4 application designers.
Detailed Description
This kit includes Microchip’s MRF24J40 transceiver and also features Microchip’s PIC18 high-performance microcontroller family. The kit includes complete hardware, software source code and printed circuit board (PCB) layout files needed to rapidly prototype wireless products. The demonstration kit 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. 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.
Key features of the PICDEM Z Demonstration kit include:
- ZigBee software stack supporting RFD (Reduced Function Device), FFD (Full Function Device) and Coordinator
- PIC18LF4620 MCU featuring nanoWatt Technology, 64 KB Flash memory and robust integrated peripherals
- Microchip MRF24J40 RF transceiver and antenna interface via daughter card for flexibility
- ZENA wireless network analyzer tool including software protocol stack configuration (DM183023)
- ICSP and MPLAB ICD 2 interface connector
- RS-232 interface
- 9V DC to 3.3V DC regulator
- Temperature sensor (Microchip TC77), LEDs and button switches to support demonstration
