The price of the MiniDragon Plus2 for students and
schools is $109.00 after a $20.00 discount.
The price includes what are shown on above picture, the MiniDragon Plus2 board, a solderless breadboard, a
re-tractable RS232 cable and a
CD.
We will probably include two 6-pin IDC connectors in most orders if we have them
in stock, so a user can make a 6-pin BDM cable in the future. But this is not guaranteed, and if
you really need a BDM cable for
your application it can be bought for $3.00.
For customers in US and Canada, you will also receive a free 110V AC adapter.
The MiniDragon Plus2 board solder footprints include RF transceiver,
DS1307 Real Time Clock with battery
backup, 5V DPDT relay
and RS485 interface. The components for these circuits are not included in the price.
The MiniDragon Plus2 board also provides LCD connection and keypad interface.
These
features will make the MiniDragon Plus2 bard a complete low cost trainer as
well.
