Development kit - deluxe version:-

Details of the component layout on the deluxe development board are shown above.

The board you receive will have an additional switch in the position marked S5.

Note the naming of the switches and LEDs - these will be referred to by name throughout the tutorials.

The board needs to be connected to your PC-compatible computer's parallel printer port, via a normal Centronics-type cable and its connectors.

It is also necessary to plug the assembly into a 12V to 14V DC power supply.

A suitable mains operated power supply is provided with the board.

The board is supplied with a PIC16F84 (or PIC16F84A) already installed.
