RoboPIC 18F4550 STEM USB Robot Controller and Development Board

RoboPIC 18F4550 adds a powerful PIC USB microcontroller to ANY computer (including all single board computers) that supports USB CDC (serial) communications in order to off-load PWM and Servo control from your computer.

RoboPIC 18F4550 is the ideal tool to introduce high school students engaged in STEM courses to microcontrollers and robotics.

The low cost kit is easy to assemble in electronics or physics classes, and the pre-loaded USB bootloader and free development tools significantly reduce the barrier to entry for schools.
