This new version 2 GENIE 08 microcontroller has been designed as a direct replacement for the older version 1 GENIE C08 device. The version 2 MCU is faster and more powerful and can store larger flowchart or BASIC programs. GENIE is a low-cost microcontroller programming system designed exclusively for schools and colleges. The free, user-friendly flowchart software allows you to add intelligence and control to your new and existing design projects. No separate programmer is required and downloading is via a USB or serial cable.It is possible to run multiple programs at the same time on a single chip and also to run and test programs live on a connected GENIE chip. * Developed by the authors of Livewire, PCB Wizard and Circuit Wizard * Free, user-friendly GENIE flowchart programming software * 32 MHz 'turbo' speed mode * 1-Wire, I2C and servo support * On-screen monitoring and calibration of digital and analogue signals * Plug & play operation automatically detects a GENIE IC when it is connected * Also available is a plug & play USB download cable, which eliminates COM port problems Note: In order to program these version 2 GENIE microcontrollers, either Circuit Wizard 3 or the free GENIE Programming Editor software is required. The chip is designed to work with either the Circuit Wizard 3 software or the GENIE flowchart programming software for Microsoft Windows™ and there are free online resources and community website at www.genieonline.com.
