Dataweek is offering readers the chance to win a Microchip accessory development kit for Google’s Android platform. The PIC24F Accessory Development Starter Kit for Android is a standalone board used for evaluating and developing electronic accessories for the Android operating system for smartphones and tablets.

Specifically, Android versions 2.3.4 and 3.1 and later include a new framework that allows apps to communicate directly with an accessory connected to a smartphone or tablet, via USB.

The kits consist of a development board and a software library (available via free download from www.microchip.com/get/522D) which enable the fast and easy development of Android smartphone and tablet accessories based on Microchip’s large portfolio of 16 bit and 32 bit PIC microcontrollers.

The starter kit bundles five major components including 16-bit PIC24F development board, PICkit 3 in-circuit debugger (PG164130), RJ11 to ICSP adaptor (AC164110), 9 V power supply (AC002014) and royalty-free, no-fee licensed software library.
