Win an MPLAB Xpress evaluation board
7 September 2016
News
Dataweek is giving readers the chance to win one of three MPLAB Xpress evaluation boards from Microchip. The new board (DM164140) features an integrated programmer, a PIC16F18855 MCU (microcontroller) and a mikroBUS header for system expansion with MikroElektronika’s 180+ Click boards. The PIC16F18855 is a general-purpose, 8-bit MCU that sports one of the largest selections of core independent peripherals to date.
The evaluation board can be used with Microchip’s new MPLAB Xpress cloud-based IDE. MPLAB Xpress offers an easy way to get started with PIC microcontrollers, with zero downloads, sign-in or setup needed to start designing. This free cloud-based IDE brings the most popular features of the MPLAB X IDE to Internet-connected PCs, laptops or tablets.
MPLAB Xpress’s comprehensive feature set includes a library of Microchip-validated code examples, interface to MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC) 3.0 for GUI-based microcontroller peripheral setup and automatic code generation, integrated MPLAB XC compilers, support for programmer/debugger hardware, and 10 GB of secure online storage with a myMicrochip account. Users can easily migrate their projects to the full, downloadable MPLAB X IDE. Additionally, the MPLAB Xpress Community enables developers to share their code, design ideas and knowledge.
The MPLAB Xpress evaluation board connects to a host computer (PC, Mac or Linux) as a USB mass storage device and allows the user to simply drag and drop an application executable (.hex) file to program the target.
