This
is a companion printed circuit board for Myke Predko's book:
Programming
& Customizing PICmicro® Microcontrollers.
Please
Note **** This product is only available as a bare board. You must
get your own components as specified in the parts listed here in Excel
format: yap2bom.xls
Yes,
this is just a raw pcb and not the kit. Wirz have been selling the
kit so long, people may get confused. You will need access to another
PIC programmer to program the host PIC to get the board to work.
This is all covered in the book, but we feel it should be pointed out.
Board
size is 4 x 6.5 inches.
We
still get quite a few people who have read Myke Predko's book looking for
the PCB's.

The
YAP Development Board was originally designed for and featured in the extremely
popular Programming & Customizing PICmicro® Microcontrollersr written
by PICmicro MCU veteran Myke Predko. Myke has recently redesigned the YAP
and released a second version known as YAP2. The new version offers an
improved form factor with the bread board mounted directly on the PCB.
Programming
& Customizing PICmicro® Microcontrollers provides the most detailed
coverage of the Microchip PICmicro Microcontroller available, while still
maintaining the reader's attention from beginning to end. The book stands
out in providing both a text book style coverage of the fundamentals, followed
by an extensive selection of user duplicable projects to reinforce the
subject matter. The YAP Development Kit provides the tools and parts you
need to perform these experiments and to gain hands on experience. Predko
is well known and an active member of the PICmicro MCU community, and his
book offers the reader the chance to glean from his vast experience.
Myke
Predko Says:
"Programming
& Customizing PICmicro® Microcontrollers was introduced with the
idea that a book introducing new users to the Microchip PICmicro MCU should
be given be guided through some low-level experiments and simple applications
before going on to develop more complex applications. In Programming &
Customizing PICmicro® Microcontrollers, I have included a chapter with
thirty experiments to help the user to understand how the PICmicro MCU
works as well as see how simple interfaces for the chip work.
To
help the new user work through the experiments, I am pleased that Wirz
Electronics is offering a complete kit of parts, centered around the "YAP"
programmer which is featured in the book. This programmer is designed for
interfacing directly to a "Breadboard" prototyping card to allow the user
to wire the PICmicro MCU directly into an application without removing
it from the programmer. This will allow the user to develop and wire applications
without taking the PICmicro MCU from the programmer and circuit. All cables,
Breadboard, parts and documentation are included with an assembled and
tested YAP to allow you wire the YAP to your PC with a minimum of fuss
and bother and run the experiments given in the book. This makes the kit
ideal for new users that may not be familiar with electronic wiring or
prototyping.
I am
very pleased to offer this kit through Wirz Electronics. I have been associated
with Wirz for a number of years and have been impressed with their dedication
to their customers. This dedication has been rewarded with their phenomenal
growth since their conception. I know that all questions and comments that
you have will be answered quickly with the superior support that Wirz is
famous for."
YAP2
Development Kit Features:
A
PICmicro MCU Programmer, Power Supply and Breadboard for rapidly prototyping
projects. Over 35 different PICmicro MCU's are supported by the Windows
software including the PIC16C554, PIC16C74, PIC16C84, PIC16F84, and
PIC16F877. See the documentation for a complete listing.
The
Development Kit is very complete. A 110 VAC power supply, RS232 Serial
Cable, a PIC16F84 Microcontroller, a Large Bread Board Wire Assortment,
and an assembled & tested Yap Development Board are included. The kit
includes enough parts for working through all of the "Experiments" chapter
of the Programming and Customizing the PICmicro® Microcontroller.
The
YAP Development board will work with any computer or operating system which
has an 9 pin RS232 Serial Port and Terminal Emulation Software. A
YAP2 Windows 95/98/NT/2000 Software, (Ver 0.8, 1.6 Mb) program is also
available for free download. Please download the documentation for
software installation and setup information.
| Q1
Will the YAP-II work with MPLAB, a C Compiler, or a Basic Compiler?
A1
The YAP-II will work with any compiler or assembler that has a hex file
output that is in the "Intel IHXMS16" Format. All of the assemblers, PicBasic
and C Compilers that we have seen support this format. You should check
with the manufacturer before buying. MPLAB and the YAP-II work fine together,
you should load the hex file immediately before programming so the latest
copy is used. |
