I2C Test Module
A small test module was fabricated to facilitate module development. This module was created rather quickly with prior knowledge of PIC microcontrollers. No actual schematic was used in this design since it was rather simple. Only the PIC datasheet was necessary to create this module.
Version 0.1
A simple proto-board design based on a Microchip PIC. The male header to the right of the PIC (hard to see) contains both power and I2C communications. The switch selects this line power or power from an external power source that uses the built-on 5V regulator. A LED indicates the device is on. Female header strip is used to make the unused PIC outputs available to interface with whatever device the user desires. Thus this board is comparable to a generic Analog/Digital module.

And the underside showing all the intricate soldering that was necessary.
