Few month ago I wanted to try to write software for Microchip PIC16F883 microcontroller and I couldn’t find simple development board for it. And so I made my own.
It took me a couple of hours to design the board in Eagle and a couple more hours to make it with toner transfer method and solder it.
This development board is as simple as it gets. Just PIC16F883 controller in SO28W package, linear regulator with two selectable voltages 3.3V and 5V. Bunch of pinheaders connected straight to the MCU I/O pins, pinheaders for VCC and GND, and programming port.
Yeah, I know. I should’ve made a silkscreen on top of the board and not do that with permanent marker. But anyways, it’s not a big deal.

Looking really nice and clean.
Congrats
You can do port numbering and component outlines with toner transfer too. I did this one that way: https://secure.flickr.com/photos/lovro/3642351024/in/set-72157607290139400/

Yeah, that’s exactly what I wanted to do.

Hey! I am just wondering, do you ever use a ground plane on your at home boards? as in, fill the empty board space with a ground plane?

It depends on what board is it. With ground plane it is sometimes much harder to fix mistake on DIY board. But, yeah, it saves etchant.

I like to do the toner transfer method for the silkscreen (not sure if that’s what you meant), it actually comes out very well.

I’m using this method too.

Did you try mikroelektronika’s picready?

No, because I needed board specifically for 16F883

Could you please provide a parts list. I would appericiate part numbers (digi key) for the components you used in your project.

Here is BOM: http://jumperone.com/files/2011/10/diy-pic16f883-dev-board/pic_dev_board_v01_bom.htm
But no part numbers from DigiKey, sorry. I just don’t have a time for that.

Thanks so much

Could you put a 28-pin ic socket instead of soldering the chip to the PCB (if you were to use a DIP version of this ic, of course)? Just wondering…

Yeah, sure, why not!
