Information
dsPICDEM MCSM Development Board (DM330022)
This development board is intended for low-voltage (up to 
80 volts at 3 amps) 2-phase uni-polar or bi-polar stepper 
motor (4, 6 or 8 wire) applications. It provides a low-cost 
system for users to evaluate and develop applications 
using dsPIC33F motor control DSCs via a Plug-In Module 
(PIM) or 28-pin SOIC socket. A USB serial interface for 
RTDM is provided. Feedback support includes current 
and voltage. Demo software to run motors in open-loop or 
closed-loop with full or variable micro-stepping is provided. 
A DMCI/RTDM GUI for controlling step commands, motor 
parameter input and operation modes is included.
Buck/Boost Converter PICtail Plus Card 
(AC164133)
A low-cost development platform for dsPIC33FGS SMPS 
devices, the buck/boost converter PICtail Plus card has 
two buck stage outputs and one boost stage output. This 
board can be used with either the Explorer 16 board or the 
16-bit 28-pin starter board and the dsPIC33FGS SMPS and 
digital power conversion devices.
