Pc Boards<br />

If you’d rather not build your own 8052-BASIC system from scratch, a variety of sources<br />

are ready to help here as well, with fabricated pc boards ready for use with the 8052-BASIC<br />

chip. <strong>The</strong> boards contain all of the components required to get an 8052-BASIC system up<br />

and running. Most come with complete schematics, to make it easy to add to the included<br />

circuits. A few boards are available as kits or bare boards, if you’d rather build your own.<br />

I’ll describe just a few of the available products here; see Appendix A for a more complete<br />

listing of sources.<br />

Figure 15-2. Prologic’s BASCOM1 is available as a low-cost bare pc board<br />

with an instruction manual for construction and use.<br />
