Mapletech Productions LLC has collaborated with Microchip Technology Inc and HI-TECH Software to provide Staccato™ for Microchip's PICkit™ 2 Debug Express (PICkit™ 2 Debug Express must be purchased separately from Microchip). Harness the power of Staccato™ Finite State Machines for your PIC Micro®-based embedded products, using HI-TECH's PICC™ C Compilers, with either Microchip's MPLAB® IDE or HI-TECH's HI-TIDE™ IDE. Learn this powerful C-Language method of programming your PIC® Microcontrollers now!

The CD includes the Staccato™ for PICkit™ 2 Debug Express Developer's Guide (PDF) and C source-code for the Demo Application. Hardcopy of the Developer's Guide is also included.

The PICkit™ 2 Debug Express will have either the PIC16F887 or PIC16F917 8-bit microcontroller installed with interfaces to a Momentary Switch, a Potentiometer and (8) LEDs. The Demo Application uses (1) LED for the Momentary Switch, (1) Blinks, and the remaining (6) LEDs function as a Level Meter for the potentiometer.
