element14's PIC32 Ethernet starter kit and the
Multimedia Expansion BoardMicrochip
New PIC32 multimedia developers speeds the development of
10/100 Ethernet applications and is shipped with
comprehensive design software and tutorials
24 January 2012 - London, Targeted at 10/100 Ethernet
applications, the new , the first collaborative global
electronics community (LSE:pfl), and Microchip, offers
comprehensive design software support for rapid evaluation
and engineering development projects. Available to
element14 customers23 January, the new development kit is
offered at an exclusive price for a two month period.
Optimised for multimedia applications such as audio,
graphics and touch screen development, the kit features a
PIC32 Ethernet Starter Kit and Multimedia Expansion Board
(MEB). By inserting the Starter Kit into the MEB a
powerful development tool is created with extra
functionality provided by a PICTail™ socket that offers
access to additional I/O. A free-to-download version
of Microchip's PIC32 C compiler provides code development
support.
Ethernet Starter Kit and MEB at this special price provides
a low risk/ yet powerful platform for engineers of all
grades to rapidly evaluate the potential of Microchip's
MCUs", said Mike McGlade Channel Manager for
Microchip. "Microchip welcomes the development of
this kit."
Ethernet-based projects will be up and running in no time
using the combination of PIC32 Ethernet Starter Kit and
Microchip's free TCP/IP software. Among its many features,
the PIC32 has an available CAN 2.0b peripheral and USB
host/device/OTG, while the Ethernet Starter Kit offers a
form factor and expansion connector that is compatible with
other PIC32 starter kits.
There are also several notable features of the Multimedia
Expansion Board, which provides starter kit users with an
integrated yet flexible solution for the development of
high impact user interfaces. The board comes with a 3.2
Colour TFT touch-screen QVGA display, onboard FCC certified
WiFi module, 24-bit stereo audio code, three-axis
accelerometer, joystick and MicroSD memory card slot.
Simply connect the PIC32 Ethernet Starter Kit to the
Multimedia Expansion Board and it's possible to commence
developing, programming and debugging code for the user
interface features.
The kit comes pre-loaded with software and design examples
that support evaluation of PIC32 functionality, while
project files and pre-programmed example code are freely
available for downloadelement14. Also included in the
kit are: a standard A to mini B cable for debugging
devices; a standard A to micro B cable for USB application
development; an Ethernet cable; and information sheet and
documentation.
