Matrix user forums

Would it be possible for matrix to develop a programing board to the support 44, 64, 80, and 100 pin PIC18Fxx x xx MCUs as they are packed with features.
Similar to the micro electronika easy pic V7 pro with the blank micro boards for the user to solder their own micro’s (maybe offer a zip socket option)
I realise this might be only suitable for industrial users only and keen hobbyists as these devices are smd items

Hello,

We have thought about it in the past and even looked at surface mount ZIF type sockets which are available but expensive.

The Microchip explorer board might already do what you are looking for and as you say Microelektronica have their own version. Both of these should work fine with Flowcode.

The only thing the boards might be missing is the Ghost features e.g. ICD and ICT. However we are currently working on a new FlowKit which should help to provide these features on 3rd party equipment.
