chipKIT™ uC32 Development Board
chipKIT™ uC32 by Digilent is an easy-to-use platform for developing microcontroller-based applications. ChipKIT uses a modified version of the original Arduino™ IDE for compatibility with existing code examples, tutorials and resources. Pin-compatible with many Arduino shields that can operate at 3.3V. The chipKIT™ uC32 is based on the popular Arduino™ open-source hardware prototyping platform and adds the performance of the Microchip PIC32 microcontroller. The uC32 is the same form factor as the Arduino™ Uno board and is compatible with Arduino™ shields. It features a USB serial port interface for connection to the IDE and can be powered via USB or an external power supply. The uC32 board takes advantage of the powerful PIC32MX340F512 microcontroller. This microcontroller features a 32-bit MIPS processor core running at 80MHz, 512K of Flash program memory and 32K of SRAM data memory. The uC32 can be programd using the Multi-Platform Integrated Development Environment (MPIDE), an environment based on the original Arduino IDE modified to support PIC32. It contains everything needed to start developing embedded applications. In addition, the uC32 is fully compatible with the advanced Microchip MPLAB® IDE and the PICKit3 in-system programr/debugger. The uC32 is easy to use and suitable for both beginners and advanced users experimenting with electronics and embedded control systems. The uC32 provides 42 I/O pins that support a number of peripheral functions, such as UART, SPI, and I2C ports and pulse width modulated outputs. Twelve of the I/O pins can be used as analog inputs or as digital inputs and outputs.
