Accelerate Ethernet development with PIC32 multimedia dev kit

ECN Europe

Targeted at 10/100 Ethernet applications, the new PIC32 Multimedia dev kit from element14 [1] and Microchip [2] offers comprehensive design software support for rapid evaluation and engineering development projects. 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 MPLAB PIC32 C compiler provides code development support.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.
