The EB006 V9 PICmicro microcontroller programmer
connects to your PC via USB to provide you with a low
cost and flexible PICmicro microcontroller programmer.
This board can be used with conventional microcontroller
programs that generate hex code for the PIC family:
MPLAB, C compilers, BASIC compilers etc. The EB006
V9 has many features that are optimised for use with
Flowcode version 6 including Ghost technology.
The board will program most 8, 14, 18, 20, 28 and 40 pin
flash PICmicro microcontroller devices using the free
'mLoader' programming software provided. mLoader
can be downloaded from the Matrix web site.
The board also provides 'clean' access to all Input/Output
lines on the relevant PICmicro microcontroller device.
These are presented on 9 way D-type connectors: 8 bits
and earth. A range of additional E-blocks boards can
plug into these D-type connectors to provide a rapid
prototyping system for learning and development.
More information on Ghost technology can be found on
our website at www.matrixtsl.com/ghost.
