g. Is modifying K8055 or K8055N board necessary?

QUESTION:

Do I have to modify my K8055 or K8055N experiment board to use an adapter published on this website?

ANSWER:

All the adapters published on this website are made as some kinds of raiser boards that utilize 28-pin sockets to connect to the original 28-pin socket on either experiment board. But it is worth to notice that K8055 adapters and K8055N adapters are not interchangeable, since PIC16C745 and PIC18F24J50 are not fully pin compatible and they also require different power supply voltages.

It is also worth to mention that my PIC32MX250F128B adapter is some kind of a raiser board, not a piggy back. You don't have to modify your K8055-1 experiment board to connect it. I used two 28-pin sockets and some hard wire to make the raiser board firmly connect to the K8055-1 board. I posted some photos and a complete example in a ZIP file on my website. If you are interested, you can see, what I mean. So far my experiment works very well and I was even able to achieve 32-bit D/A conversion not to mention other functions that are greatly enhanced on PIC32 compared to previous 16-bit and 8-bit PIC families. There is much more to came. And it is also worth to mention that PIC32 is much more confortable to program than a PIC18F2xyzz. There is plenty of RAM an you don't need to worry about declaring new variables so much as on PIC18....
