PIC Training Kit

PIC is getting famous in industry and education. This training kit will suit your need well. Come with many useful interfaces. With plenty of devices integrated on board, you can learn from the basic digital input and output, Parallel data sending, serial interface (UART, I2C, SPI and even USB), Motor control (Brush motor, RC servo, and Stepper), and much more! Come with sample source code in C language to test the kit board. The standard kit come in a metal casing for proper storage.
