The PIC18 Wireless Development Board provides PICtail connectivity, which is 
compatible with the existing and future radio and sensor daughter boards from 
Microchip. For more information on compatibility, refer to the Microchip website 

The Wireless Development Kit allows developers to evaluate and experiment with 
sub-GHz and 2.4 GHz RF solutions from Microchip. The Wireless Development Kit 
provides two RF hardware nodes which can be used to create a simple two-node 
wireless network. More nodes can be added by purchasing 8-Bit Wireless 
Development Kit or individual components.

The 8-Bit Wireless Development Kit is pre-programmed with a wireless demo program 
that allows multiple operational configurations to be tested without writing any firmware. 
For more information on how to operate the pre-programmed demo program and how 
to develop other applications, see 

  It  also  enables 

customer to evaluate Microchip’s proprietary wireless stacks. The Microchip wireless 
stacks and additional application demo source codes can be downloaded from the 
Microchip web site 

The PIC18 Wireless Development Board provides all the necessary components 
required to build an extreme low-power wireless sensor application. The Serial 
Accessory Port can interface external sensors or modules, like LCD Serial Accessory 
Board or RS232 Serial Accessory Board. The platform provides USB connectivity and 
supports different XLP microcontroller options.

Individual Wireless PICtail Daughter Boards require 

.hex files

 for the 

specific RF transceiver. For more information, refer to the 8-Bit Wireless 
Development Kit product web page at
