The ECIO family of USB programmable microcontrollers provides an incredibly simple way of adopting microcontroller technology into your projects. The device behaves just like a normal microcontroller - but when you plug the USB lead in and press the reset switch you can send a new program to the device. This makes the ECIO one of the lowest cost USB programmers in the World.
Currently there are two products in the range: ECIO-28P and ECIO- 40P. These devices are based on PICmicro 18 series devices - the 18F2455 and the 18F4455 respectively.
The ECIO microcontrollers are pre-programmed with a bootloader program which allows you to send a new program to the microcontroller via USB. ECIO is compatible with hex code from any appropriate compiler. ECIO is directly compatible with Flowcode - a graphical programming language which greatly simplifies the code generation process - but can also be used with any C compiler or Microchip’s own development suite MPLAB.
ECIO is suitable for use where direct programming from USB is required: for projects, or where systems need reprogramming in the field.
ECIO is well supported with a wide range of learning and development tools including Flowcode and E-blocks.
