Primer Trainer

Single Board Computers
Microprocessor Training Systems
Custom Engineering & Manufacturing

Educational institutions have frequently asked whether or not EMAC, Inc. sells a comprehensive microprocessor training kit. The kit should include a lab manual, power supply to power the equipment, an interface to transfer programs to/from a desktop PC, and a case to store the equipment safely in a dust-free/static-free environment. In response to these inquiries, EMAC is now offering the Primer Academic Kit or Primer "PAK".

This Primer PAK includes:

Primer Trainer, assembled and tested
- Self-Instruction Manual (in .pdf format, on CD)
- Applications Manual (in .pdf format, on CD)
- Lab Manual (in .pdf format, on CD)
- Distribution Utilities (on CD)
Deluxe Upgrade
- RS232 serial port and cable (for PC connectivity)
- 32K battery-backed RAMdisk with real-time clock
I/O Interface Cable
Enhanced Monitor Operating System (EMOS)
- EPROM w/ software
- EMOS User's Manual (in .pdf format, on CD)
Wall transformer power supply, 9V @ 500mA
Hard shell case

The Primer PAK provides an excellent educational platform for students and hobbyists interested in computer programming, electronics, robotics, and automation. The 8085 architecture is easy to understand and the instruction set is powerful allowing the use of programming techniques similar to those used for the PC, but much simpler to learn. The Primer Trainer is used as a sample 8085 system for learning and applying microprocessor knowledge in several textbooks published by Prentice-Hall. These text books are used in colleges and universities around the world to teach microprocessor architecture, programming, and applications based on the 8085.

PRICING

The Primer used in the Primer PAK is now New & Improved. A larger easy to read keypad has been added as a standard feature which obsoletes the Heavy Duty Keypad. The Primer now uses a power supply with barrel type plug. The plugs on the old T600-50 & T600-51 power supplies are not compatible. The new Primer utilizes surface mount technology where appropriate, which produces a easier to manufacture and more rugged trainer.
