GENIE Microcontrollers Version 2

The new version 2 GENIE microcontrollers have been designed as replacements for the older version 1 devices. The version 2 MCUs are faster and more powerful and are capable of storing 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.

The heart of the microcontroller system are the new version 2 microcontroller ICs, available in 8, 14, 18 and 20-pin versions. 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.

The chips are 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.
