Microchip’s new Microstick is a development board for dsPIC33F and PIC24H, providing a complete solution for designing with Microchip’s 16-bit PIC24H microcontrollers and dsPIC33F digital signal controllers (DSCs), in a compact 20 x 76 mm footprint. The Microstick offers an integrated USB programmer/debugger, and can be used standalone or plugged into a prototyping board. The board is populated with a socketed microcontroller that can be swapped out. It works with the PIC24HJ64GP502 16-bit MCU and the dsPIC33FJ64MC802 DSC, which blends DSP and MCU resources into a single architecture.
Software support includes the same free MPLAB IDE and software libraries that work with all of Microchip’s 8/16/32-bit PIC microcontrollers and DSCs. Additionally, the dsPIC33F DSCs are supported by the free demo version of Microchip’s Device Blocksets for the MATLAB language and Simulink environment, which work seamlessly within the MPLAB IDE.
