BUILD YOUR OWN ENHANCED 8051 COMPUTER / MICROCONTROLLER SYSTEM
Fun DIY electronics kit built around the STC89C52RC enhanced 8051-compatible microcontroller.
The original Intel 8051 architecture dates back to 1980 and became one of the most widely used 8-bit microcontroller architectures ever produced. The STC89C52RC is an enhanced implementation of that classic 8051 / MCS-51 architecture, adding considerably more capability while retaining the familiar 8051 programming model.
The STC89C52RC features:
• 8 KB Flash program memory
• 512 bytes internal RAM
• Three 16-bit timers/counters
• UART serial communications
• Watchdog timer
• ISP/IAP programming support
• Extensive programmable I/O
• Classic 8051 / MCS-51-compatible architecture
• 40-pin DIP package mounted in a large ZIF socket
This is an unassembled DIY electronics kit — you build and solder the complete development system yourself.
The finished board provides an unusually large selection of built-in hardware for experimentation, including:
• STC89C52RC enhanced 8051-compatible MCU (2 units)
• Large ZIF microcontroller socket
• 4-digit 7-segment LED display
• LCD display module
• Push-button keypad
• Individual LEDs
• Relay
• Buzzer
• USB/interface connection
• Expansion headers
• Resistors, capacitors, switches and other discrete components
• Main PCB and components as pictured
This makes the kit particularly interesting for:
• Retro-computing enthusiasts
• 8051 / MCS-51 programmers
• Electronics students
• DIY computer builders
• Soldering practice
• Embedded-system experimentation
• C and assembly-language learning
Rather than simply assembling a finished gadget, you build a complete 8-bit microcontroller development and experimentation platform from individual components and can then use it to explore programming, digital I/O, displays, switches, relays and other peripherals.
Please note: This system uses an STC89C52RC 8051-compatible microcontroller and is not an Intel-manufactured product.
Assembly and soldering are required.
Please review the photographs carefully for the exact components included. You will receive the kit/components pictured.
