25 November 2015
News
Dataweek readers have a chance to win a Microchip Explorer 8 Development Kit (DM160228) - a full-featured development board and platform for 8-bit PIC microcontrollers (MCU).
This kit is a versatile development solution, featuring several options for external sensors, off-board communication and human interface. Additionally, it offers ample room for expansion, making it an excellent solution for developers and engineers looking for a tool with the largest number of supported 8-bit PIC MCUs.
The board is an evolution of the popular PIC18 Explorer Board, and has been updated to take advantage of modern features including on-chip Core Independent Peripherals, compatibility with all PIC MCUs, and 8-, 14-, 20-, 28-, 40/44-, 64- and 80-pin footprints.
Microchip designed the Explorer 8 Development Kit to be a designer’s main tool for 8-bit development, with support for a wide variety of functions. Onboard components enable easy development of human interface, power conversion, Internet of Things (IoT), battery charging and other applications using a powerful 8-bit PIC microcontroller.
Additionally, the kit has a large capacity for expansion. Two Digilent Pmod interfaces, two MikroElectronika Click board sockets and two custom expansion headers allow designers to quickly adapt as their development needs change. The kit supports several program and debug solutions including the PICkit 3, ICD 3 and MPLAB REAL ICE in-circuit emulator.
