Unique features of 8051 Design Platform
Modular Structure for realizing hardware design
The modular structure of 8051 Design Platform provides isolation between each development modules, sections and peripheral boards simplicity of design and easiness while learning and working on a modular platform. A beginner gets to know the exact circuit structure and the components involved in a particular project. This also enhances the effectiveness of learning.
Flexible port connection options of 8051 Design Platform
Flexibility refers to a number of free-on-board connections available on 8051 Design Platform. There are default ports on 8051 Design Platform but the user can make use of the free ports instead of the default ports. That means there are no permanent connections between the controller and various ports.
Programmer/ Debugger mode to Running mode switching feature
The user-friendly design adds to the convenience of use of 8051 Design Platform. It is quite easy to switch between the running mode and programming mode with the help of toggle switches mounted on-board. The switching between programming mode and running mode has been made easy with the help of an in-circuit programmer. Besides, the 8051 Design Platform is highly extendable which means the user can interface extra elements either using add-on boards or with the help of breadboard.
