To win a FREE Microstick, simply complete and submit this form!

This is an exclusive invitation for attendees of Microchip’s Embedded Designers Forum, MASTERs Conference and regional training classes in Asia Pacific from December 2010 to June 2011. Winners will be personally presented with the Microstick by our sales representatives in their workplace. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about Microchip’s products and solutions and to ease your 16-bit development.

More details on the tool at http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1406&dDocName=en548414:

The Microstick for dsPIC33F and PIC24H devices is designed to provide designers with an easy to use, economical development environment for 16-bit Digital Signal Controllers and Microcontrollers.

Microstick provides all you need to get started at a very low cost. It has an integrated programmer / debugger. It can be used stand-alone or plugged into a prototyping board for extremely flexible development. The device under test is socketed for easy change-out, and Microchip’s MPLAB Integrated Development Environment supports Microstick. It has never been more affordable to get started with Microchip 16-bit devices!

Check out this PDF: http://techtrain.microchip.com/usmasters/DevToolPriceListMASTERs2009.pdf

If you haven’t been to MASTERs, it’s a 3-day conference that Microchip holds every year. They have a bunch of technical classes. I think last year, there was about 100 offered. I like it because you can spent time learning about new technology, but you can meet the designers in person and ask them questions, like “Why haven’tyou thought of this?”  Ha ha.

 Back to the discounts… MASTERs registration isn’t cheap, but the tools you can buy there are.  They usually offer tools up to 50% off. So if you need to stock your lab with new boards or software, it’s worth the trip to Phoenix. Even it’s 150 degrees in July.

From http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/product.php?Prod=Flowcode%20V3%20for%20PIC%20and%20E-blocks%20bundle%20S/O&PHPSESSID=

This bundle consists of a copy of Flowcode 3, a USB PICmicro microcontroller multiprogrammer, an LED E-block (8 leds) ,a switch E-block (8 switches), an LCD E-block (2 line 16 character) and a USB cable, power supply. This solution is perfect for low cost entry into PICmicro development and is great for students who want to continue their studies at home, and for engineers who need to develop prototypes of electronic systems quickly. The pack is supplied with a PIC16F88 device and a spare 16F877A chip, and is fully compatible with the range of E-block accessories. The retail price of this pack is at a significant discount to the sum of the individual parts. Datasheets on each individual item are available separately.
