Debugger, an Explorer16 Development Board, a 9V universal
power supply for use with either the Explorer 16 board or the
MPLAB ICD, a serial cable and both a PIC24FJ128GA010 and
a dsPIC33F256GP710 device mounted on plug-in modules
for quick replacement.
MPLAB Starter Kit for PIC24F Intelligent Integrated
Analog (DM240015)
The MPLAB Starter Kit for PIC24F Intelligent
Integrated Analog is a stand-alone board
showcasing the advantages of lower BOM
cost, faster throughput and lower noise
analog. It features an on-board programmer/debugger.
PIC24E (DM240012) and dsPIC33E USB Starter
Kits (DM330012)
These starter kits provide a low-cost
method for the development and testing
of USB devices, embedded host and
On-The-Go applications using the PIC24E
MCU and dsPIC33E DSC families. Included on each board are
three user-programmable LEDs, three push button switches
and an expansion header compatible with the Multimedia
Expansion Board (DM320005) and I/O Expansion Board
(DM320002). The starter kits come preloaded with basic
Communication Device Class (CDC) demonstration software.
Microsticks for 3V and 5V PIC24F K-Series
(DM240013-1/DM240013-2)
Microsticks for 3V and 5V PIC24F K-series (DM240013-1
and DM240013-2) are flexible, USB-powered development
platforms. These low-cost solutions provide everything and
are perfect if you are looking to get started with our low-cost
16-bit microcontroller families. The DM240013-1 supports
the 3V PIC24F “KL”, “KM” and “KA” devices while the
DM240013-2 supports the 5V PIC24FV “KM” and “KA” for
extremely cost-sensitive consumer, medical and industrial
applications. Both Microsticks include an integrated
programmer/debugger and can work as standalone
development boards or be plugged into a prototyping board.
MPLAB Starter Kit for Digital Power (DM330017)
The MPLAB Starter Kit for Digital Power allows you
to easily explore the capabilities and features of the
dsPIC33F GS Digital Power Conversion family. It is a
digitally controlled power supply board that consists of
one independent DC/DC synchronous Buck converter and
one independent DC/DC Boost converter. Each power
stage includes a MOSFET-controlled 5W resistive load. The
kit features an on-board programmer/debugger, an LCD
display and an on-board temperature sensor.
Starter Kits
Starter Kits are complete, affordable, turnkey solutions
consisting of the hardware and software sufficient for
exploring specific applications or the features of the device
family they represent. Most kits include an on-board or
separate debugger and tutorials. To get started, simply
install and start MPLAB X IDE, connect the hardware and
step through the easy-to-follow tutorials.
F1 Evaluation Kit (DV164132)
This kit is a demonstration/development
tool for Enhanced Mid-Range PIC
microcontrollers (PIC12F1XXX/PIC16F1XXX)
and includes the PICkit 3 for quick programming and
development. Populated with a PIC16LF1937 featuring XLP
technology, this platform consists of a 44-pin development
board with prototyping space, 3V LCD glass, support for the
Motor Control add-on and support for PICkit 3 and PICkit
Serial Analyzer. It provides a platform for general-purpose
development and includes demonstrations focusing on low
power, LCD and motor control.
MPLAB Starter Kit for PIC18 MCU (DM180021)
This kit includes an on-board debugger/
programming capability as well as USB
communication, capacitive touch pad,
potentiometer, acceleration sensor, microSD™
memory card and an OLED display. The board can function
as a USB mouse, joystick or mass storage device (thumb
drive) all using the on-board capacitive touch sense pads.
PIC18 Development Kit (DV164136)
This kit includes a PIC18 Explorer board,
PICkit 3 Debugger/Programmer, a USB
cable and a 9V universal power supply.
The PIC18 Explorer board includes both
the PIC18F8722 and PIC18F87J11
microcontrollers and supports dozens of general-purpose
PIC18 families using various processor Plug-in Modules
(PIMs). PICtail™ daughter boards enable many different
accessory boards to connect to the PIC18 Explorer.
PICkit 3 Starter Kit (DV164130)
This kit contains one assembled board
with area for prototyping circuits.
The assembled board is populated
with the PIC16F1829-I/P. It also ships with a sample
PIC18F14K22-I/P (20-pin) MCU.
PICkit 3 Debug Express (DV164131)
The PICkit 3 Debug Express combines a
44-pin demo board with a PIC18F45K20
microcontroller and a PICkit 3
debugger/programmer.
MPLAB Starter Kit for PIC24F MCUs (DM240011)
This kit includes an integrated in-circuit
debugger and programmer, USB device and
host connectors, a tri-color LED, a capacitive
touch pad and an OLED display. Menu-driven
demonstration software supports data logging, thumb drive
and graphics applications to test the PIC24F MCU.
