Basic ATOM 24-M


Description
The Basic ATOM 24-M is a self contained microcontroller. All the hardware necessary for programming it is built in. (BS2) Pin Compatible, Easy to use, Upgradable Firmware, Free Software, Includes O'Scope and In Circuit Debugger (ICD). The Basic ATOM software has a built-in In Circuit Debugger (ICD). Instead of spending additional time strategically planting debug statements throughout your entire program wouldn't you rather just watch it execute line-by-line and see what each variable is doing ? You can do just that with the Basic ATOM's (ICD). To use the Basic ATOM's ICD feature you simply click the "Debug" button. The ICD will display your program and follow its flow line-by-line, highlighting each line as it is being executed on the Basic ATOM. The Basic ATOM Microcontroller has built in hardware such as Analog to Digital Converter (A/D), Capture / Compare (CCP), Timers, Interrupts and Pulse width modulators (PWM). Why are hardware features better than software ? With built-in hardware the Basic ATOM Microcontroller can produce faster and more accurate pulse width modulation (PWM) then can be done in software. Without the built-in hardware like the analog to digital converters (A/D), you would have to purchase additional hardware and your programs would likely increase in complexity.
