Dev board for 16- and 32-bit PICs
5 October 2016
DSP, Micros & Memory
Microchip rolled out the new Explorer 16/32 development board for designing with 16-bit and 32-bit PIC microcontrollers.
This new board is offered at a lower cost than the popular Explorer 16 development board and comes with an integrated programmer/debugger and several new features that address the latest embedded systems design needs.
The new board serves as a platform for customers to evaluate the 16-bit PIC24, dsPIC33 and 32-bit PIC32 families of devices through processor plug-in-modules (PIMs) for easy device swapping. It facilitates prototyping of the end application for proof of concept before migrating to the actual design.
The board features a mikroBUS interface to easily add new functionalities using Click Boards from MikroElectronika. In addition, it supports an integrated USB for both power and communication, eliminating the need for an external power adaptor and communication accessory.
This new board is backwards compatible with the Explorer 16 board, allowing users to continue using existing code, libraries, prototypes, PIMs and PICtail Plus daughter cards interfaced via a side connector. PICtail Plus daughter cards interfaced via a vertical connector can be re-used using an additional expansion board.
The Explorer 16/32 development kit (DM240001-3) includes the main development board as well as a PIC24FJ1024GB610 plug-in-module and two USB cables. The PIM features a 16-bit PIC24FJ1024GB610 microcontroller with 1 MB Flash, a superset of memory and functions for the lower-power PIC24F family. For customers who already have a processor PIM and USB cables, the board (DM240001-2) is priced at a lower cost.
