SparkFun Bully Board and Board for Experiments

[Karl Fuchs]

I received my SparkFun bully board and FTDI breakout board two weeks
ago, and the book was delivered yesterday.

Bootloader is fantastic, and I can not wait to get going with the
book.

A few weeks ago I saw a course on the reesemicro.com website that
advertised a couple of goodies including a nice PCB onto which the PIC
Bully will plug. Is this schematic or (even better) PCB available?

Thx

That PCB was used in the ASEE workshop training; the mini-bully
plugged into it.

I have updated the ASEE page:

with a link to a zip archive that contains the Eagle files for the PCB
and a part list. We are not selling the PCB ourselves, but I made most
of it use through-hole parts for easy assembly by others (there are
still a couple of surface mount parts on it).

Thanks for the link again - this is exactly the PCB I am looking for.
This will save me the pain. If its simple double sided through hole,
I should be able to make it myself.

Much appreciated!

One more point - since the Sparkfun mini-bully plugs into a breadboard
once headers are installed, I believe that the easiest way to
experiment with it is to simply buy a breadboard + wiring kit from
somewhere, then buy DIP parts and use the breadboard as your wiring
platform. This is the way that we do it in our Microprocessors lab,
and it works very well.
