- PIC Development Tools. The ICEPIC range of In-circuit emulators has lowered the cost of developing the Microchip PIC. The first ICEPIC was shipped in May 1995, since then we have shipped over 10,000 units making the ICEPIC the worlds most popular emulator. Microchip Technology has decided to distribute the product for us and also integrate the product into their own MPLAB operating system. We also offer programmers, C Compilers, BASIC Compilers, a range of reference books, tutorials and project boards to provide a complete source of Development equipment for the PIC microcontroller. Manufacturing Facility We have 10,000 sq.ft. of manufacturing area with a Mamiya fully automatic Pick & Place machine and a Blundell dual wave flow solder machine. This ensures a high level of quality and enables us to provide a world-class manufacturing facility.
