Electronics

Overview
 

The electronics needed for the simulator is a combination of ready made boards and self made PC Boards and circuits.  The self-made circuits are mainly designed around the PIC18F4550 microcontroller made by Microchip.  I chose this microcontroller because it has 40 pins and most importantly it is USB enabled.
