ME Labs Trainer

• Compatible with Windows 7/8/10
• Learn the fundamental concepts of programming, from plain-English descriptions of software tools to concepts including program flow, loops, coding techniques, binary manipulation, device-to-device communication, user-interface design, and more
• 14 Lessons use a building-block approach to teach you incrementally, from a 6-line program to a working user-interface
  Tutorial assumes no prior knowledge of programming
• All necessary hardware and software included, all you need is a computer with a standard USB port
  Includes real development tools and technology that professional engineers use, including PICBASIC PRO(tm) Compiler and a PICMicro(R) microcontroller
• Includes a Student Edition of PBP which supports a limited selection of devices (12F683, 16F688, 16F690, 16F88, 16F886, 18F25K20, 18F25K22, 18F2550, 16F1937)
