Software and Hardware Solutions for the 32-bit Designer
Expansion and Development Boards
Expansion boards make prototyping fast. Connectors for
all starter kits allow the additon of any PICtail/PICtail Plus
as well as Human Interface and Multimedia peripherals.
PIC32 I/O Expansion Board (DM320002)
The PIC32 I/O Expansion Board
provides starter kit and starter
board users with full access to
MCU signals, additional debug
headers, and connection of
PICtail Plus daughter cards. MCU signals are available
for attaching prototype circuits or monitoring signals with
logic probes. Headers are provided for connecting JTAG
tools or Microchip tools using the 2-wire (ICSP) interface.
The PIC32 starter kits (DM320001, DM320003-2,
DM320004) can provide power to the I/O Expansion
Board. The amount of power is determined by the drive
capability of the USB port connected to the starter board’s
debugger at connector J1. If additional power is required,
connect an optional 9V power supply (AC16203) to the I/O
Expansion Board.
PIC32 Starter Kit to Explorer 16 Plug-In Module
(PIM) Adapter (AC320002)
The PIC32 Starter Kit PIM Adapter is
designed to enable the PIC32 Starter
Board to work with the Explorer 16
Development Board. This allows users
to customize functionality using PICtail
Plus daughter cards or eliminates the
need for external debugging hardware.
Explorer 16 Development Board (DM240001)
The Explorer 16 is a low-cost,
efficient development board
to evaluate the features and
performance of Microchip’s 32-bit
PIC32MX devices, PIC24 MCU and
the dsPIC33 DSC families. Coupled
with the MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit
Debugger or MPLAB REAL ICE™ In-Circuit Emulator, real-
time emulation and debug facilities speed evaluation and
prototyping of application circuitry.
Key Features:
■ Includes PIC24FJ128GA010 and the
dsPIC33FJ256GP710A DSC Digital Signal Controller
PIMs (100-pin version) or the PIC24FJ64GA004 PIM
(44-pin version)
■ Alpha-numeric 16 × 2 LCD
■ Interfaces to MPLAB ICD 3, MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit
Emulator, USB, and RS-232
■ Includes Microchip’s TC1047A high accuracy, analog
output temperature sensor
■ Expansion connector to access full devices pin-out and
breadboard prototyping area
■ PICtail Plus connector for expansion boards
■ Full documentation CD includes user’s guide,
schematics and layout
Multimedia Expansion Board (DM320005)
The Multimedia Expansion Board (MEB)
provides PIC32 Starter Kit, dsPIC33E
USB Starter Kit or PIC24E USB Starter
Kit users with an integrated yet flexible
solution for development of high-impact
user interfaces. The board comes with
a 3.2" Color TFT touch-screen QVGA display, an on-board
FCC-certified Wi-Fi module, a 24-bit stereo audio codec, a
three-axis accelerometer, a joystick and a microSD memory
card slot. Simply connect any DM320001, DM320003-2,
DM320004, DM330012 or DM240012 Starter Kit to the
MEB and you’re ready to develop, program and debug code
for the user interface features.
Key Features:
■ Power via USB through the starter kit or external
9V supply
■ Fast high-color images, localized fonts, visual prompts
and buttons
■ 24-bit stereo audio, Speex voice playback, MP3 music
■ Touch screen buttons, eight position joystick with fi re
button, three-axis orientation/a
cceleration
■ FCC-certifi ed Wi-Fi, 10/100 Ethernet via PIC32 Ethernet
Starter Kit
Multimedia Expansion Board II (DM320005-2)
The Multimedia Expansion Board II
(MEB-II) is a highly integrated, compact
and flexible development platform which
works with PIC32MZ Starter Kit. The
MEB-II kit features a 4.3" WQVGA PCAP
touch display daughter board. The kit also features:
■ 24-bit stereo audio codec
■ Integrated 802.11bg wireless module
■ Low-cost Bluetooth HCI transceiver
■ Optional EBI SRAM memory
■ microSD slot
■ mTouch sensing solutions buttons
■ Analog accelerometer
■ Analog temperature sensor
■ VGA camera
■ PICtail connector
PIC32MZ Embedded Connectivity (EC) Adapter
Board (AC320006)
The PIC32MZ EC Adapter Board,
which features a 168-pin to 132-pin
connector, enables the use of PIC32
starter kits that have a 168-pin
interface with the following boards:
■ Multimedia Expansion Board (MEB) (DM320005)
■ PIC32 I/O Expansion Board (DM320002)
■ Low-Cost Controllerless (LCC) Graphics PICtail Plus
Daughter Board (AC164144)
■ Graphics LCD Controller PICtail Plus SSD1926 Board
(AC164127-5)
■ Graphics PICtail Plus Epson S1D13517 Board
(AC164127-7)
