CODEGRIP
programmer /
debugger module
Envisioned as the unifi ed development platform for all the 8-bit PIC MCUs in DIP
package, the EasyPIC v8 development board is equipped with the onboard CODEGRIP
programming/debugging module, to support programming/debugging feature.
The CODEGRIP module can be interfaced with the host computer over the USB-C
connector.
Besides the USB cable, the CODEGRIP module (1) can be accessed over the WiFi
network. This is a revolutionary new feature, which allows some unique usage
scenarios, currently not available on any other programming/debugging solution in
the world. The WiFi connectivity option of the CODEGRIP module off ers a complete
autonomy of the development board. Running in the hazardous environment while
debugging the software in real time, programming the MCU with a new software
during exposure, having the sensor responses collected and logged remotely from
several diff erent base points, debugging a drone fi rmware while it is in mid-air... These
are just simple examples of what EasyPIC v8 development board can off er.
CODEGRIP module is equipped with LED indicators that provide visual feedback about
its status:
POWER (GREEN) Indicates that the development board is powered on
USB-LINK (YELLOW) After the host OS completes the USB enumeration of the
CODEGRIP module, this LED will indicate that the connection has been established
