microIceBlue2 - Programmable Bluetooth PIC-based Controller

The uIceBlue2 module is an embeddable control module based on the USB featured microcontroller PIC18F4550 from Arizona Microchip to implement the Bluetooth communication capabilities. The advantage of having together a USB interface combined with Bluetooth serial communications included with no glue code or electronics required.

The board offers in a DIP-style double row pin connector the PIC18F4550 pin out, with some exceptions like the clock and power pins. This allow to implement almost any application intended previously for this MCU with no constrain, with the advantage of having together a USB interface combined with Bluetooth serial communications included with no glue code or electronics required. This results in a true glueless solution to embed Wireless Bluetooth communications in any equipment or electronic device with the minimum effort and investment, and a maximum of efficiency.

The uIceBlue2 Development Kit comes with a complete set of tools, comprising both IDE programming environments and related documentation. The software tools and complete documentation is provided for free by the manufacturer Arizona Microchip!.

No programmming tool is required thanks to the included usb bootloader

Once the developer gets the binary .HEX file, you can program the PIC18F4550 easily just connecting the PC to the uIceBlue2 through USB and using our firmware updating application (free for registered customers).
