Connectivity
EZ Web Lynx
EZ Web Lynx products enable you
to quickly add Ethernet or wireless
monitoring and control capability to any
application. Compact modules feature
digital I/O and analog inputs, I
2
C and
serial interfaces, PWM and timer channels for sensing and
control. EZ Web Lynx serves dynamic web pages and can
also send email notification of event-driven alarms and/or
daily status. The modules are programmed in HTML, using
a full-featured IDE with HTML-aware editor and simulator to
speed up development and testing. Modules and starter
kits are available for 3.3V and 5V systems. For a listing of
products, please visit: www.microchip.com/ccs.
openPicus
openPicus offers a line of open-source
development boards and kits to facilitate
the development of Internet-connected
devices, especially in the realm of the
Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-
to-Machine (M2M) applications. Their IDEpro software
helps speed the development of projects, while the free
RTOS-based framework manages the communication
stack and the application. With an on-board bootloader,
it eliminates the need for a programmer, yet it is flexible
enough to allow programming via Microchip tools and
MPLAB X IDE. These products provide endless possibilities
for developing applications such as integrated web
servers, TCP/UDP clients, FTP Clients, FOTA applications,
and more. For a listing of products, please visit:

Programmers and Accessories
CCS Load-n-Go Handheld In-Circuit Programmer
(TPG1LG01)
This programmer is a low-cost, handheld
in-circuit programmer that supports PIC10,
PIC12, PIC14, PIC16, PIC18, PIC24 MCU
families and dsPIC DSC families. Running on
four AA batteries, this mobile programmer can
go where no PC or laptop could go before. The
simple user interface seamlessly allows for
quick field programming of targets with up to four firmware
images. The Load-n-Go programmer can also be powered
via USB or with a 9V AC adapter and used as a regular
ICD/ICSP with the CCS IDE compilers.
SEGGER J-Link Debug Probe (TSEG-JLINK)
The J-Link BASE Debug Probe is a USB-
powered in-circuit debugger supporting
PIC32 devices. Based on a 32-bit RISC
CPU, it can communicate at high speed
with supported target devices. J-Link is
a great tool for Flash programming and
debugging in development and production environments.
Note: J-Link is fully supported in MPLAB X IDE v2.15.
Tag-Connect Starter Kit (TC2030-STK)
Tag-Connect provides a simple means
for connecting debuggers/programmers
or test equipment to PCBs, while
lowering board costs and facilitating
efficient production programming.
A special connector with spring-pins makes a secure
connection to a small special footprint of pads and holes
on your PCB with no header or mating connector required.
This kit includes two Tag-Connect cables, a sample PCB
with footprints for demonstration and a clip board for
debugging with a no-legs cable.
EETools
EETools provides solutions for cost-
effective programming of PIC MCUs.
PC-driven or stand-alone, their universal
programmers are socket-based. They
also offer gang-style programmers.
They provide all possible programming adapters for non-
standard devices in stock, and all of their products are
manufactured and supported in the USA. For a listing of
products, please visit: www.microchip.com/eetools.
Softlog
Softlog Systems specializes in
In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP)
for Microchip microcontrollers. Their
product line includes several high-
speed, production-grade in-circuit
programmers, gang programmers, and even security
software that can protect intellectual property. Their
programmers can be used stand alone, with a host PC or
integrated with automated test equipment. For a listing of
products, please visit: www.microchip.com/softlog.
Development Boards and Multimedia Boards
ChipCAD Microstick Plus Development Board
(TCAD001)
The Microstick Plus by ChipCAD is an
expansion board for the popular Microstick
(DM330013) and Microstick II (DM330013-2)
Development Boards. It provides 11 different
peripherals and is suitable for beginners
as well as advanced users. This is a cost-effective and
versatile platform for education and development.
Digilent Universal Development Board (TDGL022)
The Universal Development Board
(UDB) was made with flexibility in mind,
so it accommodates a wide variety of
PIC microcontrollers. Right out of the
box, you can start developing with the
on-board PIC32MX360F512L microcontroller. This board
also supports a wide selection of 3.3V, 8-, 16- and 32-bit
devices via Microchip PIMs or on-board DIP sockets. The
UDB is also compatible with the Explorer 16 Development
Board via the PICtail Plus connector.
