What is PIC ?
There are number of popular families of microcontrollers which are used in different application as per their capability and feasibility to perform the desired task, most common of these are 8054, AVR, PIC. Microcontroller has a CPU, some flash memory, some RAM & some EPROM all in one chip. Flash memory is a storage location, like the hard disk of computer. RAM is a temporary storage just like computer RAM.
What is PIC Development Board ?
This Development board is helps users to easily develop application for PIC. After programming the microcontroller, the code can be run on the development board. All ports of this Development board is easily accessible.
