PIC and SimmStick related boards. Cheap PIC DT001 Programmer, PIGMY Target board (multi-features include support for Basic Stamps, FED Basic and lots more), and Relay Board. Viewable Circuits, Overlays, downloadable software drivers, etc. DT001 can also used as a SimmStick Development Platform. DT003 SimmStick power supply, RS-232 comms and mini bus. Many other SimmStick based boards are being added now!
PIC84PGM Cheap PIC Programmer. Now obsolete. Files restored to this page due to by user requests.
DT002 Parallel Port Expansion controls 64 I/O bits from a printer port. Boards cascadable to virtually an unlimited number. This has just been renamed to DT002. Formerly PIPEX or PIPEX.
RS-232 Serial Port Expansion. Uses PIC16C57/XT to control 18 I/O bits at 9600,N,8,1. Software is that simple, it can be driven from any comms program such as Telix, Kermit, or Termulator. Up to 256 boards can be used.

Product Name Confusion:

My PIGMY and PICME (Pic(k)me) boards are one and the same.
This is a general purpose building block used in many projects.

My PPEX and PIPEX boards are one and the same. Now known as DT002.
This is the Printer Port EXpansion board that can control 32 bits out and 32 bits in with one board. Boards can be cascaded for virtually an unlimited number of I/O signals.

My PICEX Serial Controller uses the PIGMY board building block.
This is driven from any RS-232 port (9600,n,8,1) using my EZ-6 command language. This is six Ascii characters typed in from the keyboard via any comms program. 256 boards can be driven from one comms port.
