Fusion for PIC v8
WORLD’S FIRST DEBUGGER OVER WIFI
On-board Debugging and programming over WiFi
Fusion for PIC v8 development board integrates first-ever embedded debugger/programmer over WiFi. Enjoy cable-free world!µ
Access anywhere, under any circumstances at anytime
Unlimited possibilities for development, you can place the development board in almost any hardly accessible places such as hazardous environment, agricultural setting, and high-rise buildings while still retaining full debugging and programming access.
Redefine technical support
Replicating user’s hardware has always been a challenge, debugging over WiFi enables technical support to directly access user’s hardware.
Do more with less effort!

NEW SIBRAIN STANDARD
Intuitively designed socket
Fluent design offers high-speed connector, low-profile integration of the MCU card with the development board, the socket has (female/male) connectors that eliminates wrong insertion. The MCU card has standardized dimensions that can support various number of pin varieties for specific hardware requirement. Such a modular approach allows flexibility in selecting the MCU type, regardless of the pin number or the specific hardware requirements.
Freedom of choice
The new SiBRAIN standard allows to simultaneously use from low pin count to high pin count microcontrollers on one board.
Maximum flexibility
The SiBRAIN standard makes it possible to use MCUs regardless of their vendor or manufacturer.
One SiBRAIN standard supports multiple PIC MCU families: 8-bit PIC, 16-bit dsPIC, and 32-bit PIC32.
NEW DISPLAY BOARD STANDARD
Display board connector
The Fusion for PIC v8 development board features new display connector. New connector has a female 2×20-pin support, which allows different screen sizes as well as technologies.
Screen technology
Display board connector can be attached with various screen technologies, currently available are the TFT capacitive screen boards which offer a wide selection of screen sizes and resolutions. Future iterations will offer technologies such as OLED and e-Ink.
Screen sizes
Check out how it looks with different screen sizes and resolutions, choose from; TFT board 3 with a 3.5“ display with the resolution of 320×240 pixels, TFT board 4 with a 4.3“ display with the resolution of 480×272 pixels, TFT board 5 with a 5“ display with the resolution of 800×480 pixels, TFT board 7 with a 7“ display with the resolution of 800×480 pixels.
IDEAL FOR RAPID PROTOTYPING
Rapid prototyping allows the engineer to take the most efficient and effortless way, to envision the design ideas, capabilities and limitations through measurable means. This is the crucial eliminating factor for time to market pressure.
Improved mikroBUS™ sockets
The Fusion for PIC v8 offers five improved mikroBUS™ sockets, where you can place any of the 1248 different Click boards™. Adding, the infinite amount of possibilities with the largest add-on board selection in the world.
Ready-to-use Click boards™

Engineered to deliver the best performances for the used components, they save developers of testing and troubleshooting often associated with the prototyping phase.
Endless modularity
The ready-to-use 1248 Click boards™ are saving time and money by offering complete solutions of hardware and software, instead of developing them from scratch.
Choose one of hundreds of Click boards™ out of these categories: mixed signal, wireless connectivity, storage, interface, displays, human-machine interface, adapter, clock and timing, motor control, power management and audio & voice.
FIRST CLASS POWER SUPPLY
State of the art power supply
Fusion for PIC v8 offers state of the art power supply with constant power delivery and unprecedented flexibility. The power supply module is carefully designed to regulate, filter and distribute the power noise free.
In addition, it features convenient capacitive POWER and RESET buttons.
Uninterruptable power supply
Power supply unit supports a wide range of power sources that can be used: External 12VDC, USB, and a Li-Po/Li-ION battery. It also supports UPS functionality.
When powered by the battery, it offers an ultimate degree of autonomy.
Programmable voltage output
The power supply module supports programmable voltage output which can be used as a reference for various purposes, including A/D or D/A converters, comparators, and any other peripherals that require or can use an external reference voltage. The programmable voltage output can be controlled over the CODEGRIP Suite.
PREMIUM USER EXPERIENCE
Robust by design
The Fusion for PIC v8 development board is 3.2 mm thick, sturdy and durable design eliminates the board from bending when working with it. All the components of the board are produced on surface mounted technology standard, enabling sturdy, compact design.
Sturdy on its feet
Every detail is carefully thought through, from the height-adjustable stand with non-slip pads, to ergonomic design, which allows comfortable project development.
Clear intuitive layout
Fusion for PIC v8 features clean and elegant design, allowing the user to instantly understand how to set it up and how to easily tune it according to needs. The development board is divided into several sections, arranged so that all the related interactive components such as switches, buttons, indicators, and connectors, are logically positioned and grouped together.
