Popis: Multiple Outputs Programmable Integrated Circuits (MOPICs) trainer for educational applications is fabricated based on unsatisfactory usage of PIC simulation which is not able to achieve the learning outcome especially in enhancing leaner's hands-on skill through circuit designing, connection and trouble shooting. Current PIC programming is done through computer simulation, cause the leaners facing difficulty in understanding the wiring connection between the input component, PIC microcontroller and output components. The fabrication of MOPICs trainer was designed and improved by adding more output components, cost effective and user friendly. Moreover, MOPICs trainer are embedded with input component such as normally open push buttons, and 5 difference output components such as seven-segment display, servomotor, LEDs, LCD display, and 12VDC motor. Newly fabricated MOPIC trainer can be programme and re-programme for numerous tasks. Based on respondent questionnaire, it is show that on average of 92.59% agreed that newly developed MOPICs trainer is user friendly, safe and attractive to be used while 94.64% respondent agreed that there are enhancements in theoretical knowledge aspect and hands-on skill implementation in their learning process.
