SET-COMP-PIC50BOOK-1

basic set of components for "PIC microcontrollers"

You need a programmer to load your code into the target PIC chip. The Wisp648 is one of the many programmers available. You will need a serial cable to connect a Wisp648 to your computer (you probably have one around), or lacking a serial port: an USB-to-serial converter.

	K-Wisp648				Wisp648 kit: PCB, connectors, programmed 16F648, etc
	A-Wisp648				Wisp648 assembled PCB
	CABLE-D9M-1-8-D9F				DB9 extension cable, 1.8m, male - female
	USB-SERIAL-2				USB to RS-232 converter

You will need a 5V supply. Note that the Wisp648 contains a power supply. If you dont have one you can build a WWPSU (jou must add suitable wall-wart). The set (above) contains some 7805 chips, so maybe that is all you need. The 78L05 is the smaller version of the 7805, it is for up to 100mA.

	K-WWPSU				simple 5 Volt Power Supply
	IC-7805-TO220				5V regulator, 1000 mA
	IC-78L05-TO92				5V regulator, 100 mA

Chapter 8.4 uses the SRF04 ultrasonic range finder. I sell the SRF05, which is a newer version of this range finder. It has a mode for backwards compatibility with the SRF04. Note that chapter 12.6 also uses an SRF04, but it is hacked to get access to an internal signal. This hack will not work as-is on an SRF05.

You will need something to connect the components of your circuit. The set contains a solderless breadboard, which provides an easy way to make a quick prototype. I also sell pre-cut pre-stripped wire for use in a solderless breadboard, but the wires from a multi-wire telephone cable work just as well.

	T-BB-01				solderless breadboard, 55x166 mm, 830 contact points
	M-Wires-Set				wire set for solderless breadboard, 140 wires

If you want to build your circuit in a more premanent form you will have to solder it. A ring or stripes breadbord will be handy (unless you plan to make your own PCBs). And of course you will need a soldering iron. Most hobbyist seem to prefer lead-based solder, but you might try lead-free.

	M-PERFBOARD-50x100				perfboard, holes at 2.54 mm, solder islands on one side
	M-PERFBOARD-100x160				perfboard, holes at 2.54 mm, solder islands on one side
	M-PERFBOARD-STRIPES-50x100				perfboard, holes at 2.54 mm, solder stripes on one side
	M-PERFBOARD-STRIPES-100x160				perfboard, holes at 2.54 mm, solder stripes on one side
	M-SOLDER-1				lead-tin solder 0.7mm, 60/40, 100gram
	M-SOLDER-3				lead-free solder 0.7mm, Sn99/Cu1, 100gram
	TOOL-IRON-01				230V soldering iron, temperature controlled

For part 4 and higher and LCD is required. A 2x16 will do, but you might prefer a lager one.

	LCD-16				standard 16*2 LCD, with backlight
	LCD-17				standard 20*4 LCD, with backlight

You can use a screwdriver or your fingers to pry the chips out of your breadboard or IC socket, but a simple IC puller makes the job much easier. The cut/strip tool I sell is not cheap, but I like it very much. A cheaper alternative is the red/black stripper tool you can often find in (Dutch) "bouwmarkt" shops in the 2-euro box (or whatever the day price will be). Not as good as the one I sell, but definitely good value for the money.

	TOOL-IC-PULL				IC extractor
	TOOL-CUT-STRIP				wire cutter and stripper
	TOOL-CUT-01				wire cutter

Other components that are used in the book or might be usefull:

	KBD-01				3x4 matrix keypad
	KBD-03				4x4 matrix keypad
	KBD-04				3x4 public telephone keypad
	EE-24LC256-DIP				24CL256 256K (32k*8) I2C EEPROM (DIP)
	IC-TC4427A-DIP				TC4427A dual MOSFET driver
	IC-TC4427A-SMD				TC4427A dual MOSFET driver
