PIC32 STARTER KIT USER’S GUIDE Chapter 1. Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Microchip Technology PIC32 Starter Kit. This board provides a low-cost, modular development system for Microchip’s line of 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs). The starter kit comes preloaded with demonstration software for the user to explore the new features of the PIC32. It is also expandable through a modular expansion interface, which allows the user to extend its functionality.
PIC32 Starter Kit User’s Guide 1.2 PIC32 STARTER KIT FUNCTIONALITY AND FEATURES A representation of the layout of the PIC32 Starter Kit is shown in Figure 1-1. The board includes these key features, as indicated in the diagram: 1. PIC32MX360F512L 32-bit microcontroller. 2. Green power indicator LED. 3. Regulated +3.3V power supply for powering the starter kit board via USB or expansion board. 4. On-board crystal for precision microcontroller clocking (8 MHz). 5.
PIC32 STARTER KIT USER’S GUIDE Chapter 2. Hardware This chapter describes the hardware features of the starter kit. 2.1 HARDWARE FEATURES The key features of the PIC32 Starter Kit are listed below. They are presented in the order given in Section 1.2 “PIC32 Starter Kit Functionality and Features”. You can refer to Figure 1-1 for their locations on the board. 2.1.1 Processor Support The PIC32 Starter Kit is designed with a permanently mounted (i.e., soldered) PIC32MX360F512L processor. 2.1.
PIC32 Starter Kit User’s Guide 2.1.5 LEDs The LEDs, RD0 through RD2, are connected to PORTD of the processor. The PORTD pins are set high to light the LEDs. 2.1.6 Oscillator Options The installed microcontroller has an oscillator circuit connected to it. The main oscillator uses an 8 MHz crystal (Y2) and functions as the controller’s primary oscillator. Use of an external crystal is not required for PIC32 designs. Your design may use the internal oscillator, if desired.
