PIC Dev Board (16F877A) Updated...

I had designed a PIC16F877A micro-controller development board which has in-built programming capability.

This board will be a good one for young engineers to experiment with PIC micro-controller.

Actually it has two schematics. One for development board and the other for parallel port programming. The PIC can be programmed by just plugging a data bus on the programmer to the development board.

The PIC16F877A micro-controller need not be removed from the development board to program the controller.

The development board consists of MAX232, so that the serial communication is enabled on the board. It also consists of headers for all port pins.
