OVERVIEW

1. Introduction to the chapter

Thank you for choosing the PIC32-PINGUINO-MICRO development board from Olimex! This

document provides a User’s Guide for the Olimex PIC32-PINGUINO-MICRO development board.

As an overview, this chapter gives the scope of this document and lists the board’s features. The

document’s organization is then detailed.

The PIC32-PINGUINO-MICRO development board enables code development of applications

running on the PIC32MX220F032D microcontroller, manufactured by Microchip technology.

1.1 Features

• PIC32MX440F256H 80 MHz microcontroller 256KB Flash 32KB RAM

• microSD card for data logging

• UEXT connector which allow many existing modules like RF, ZIGBEE, GSM, GPS to be

connected

• Two LEDs

• One BUTTON

• RESET button

• USB-OTG (On-the-go) connector – so your device acts as a host allowing easier connection

• All PIC ports available on 0.1" connectors

• miniICSP connector 0.05"step if you do not want to use Pinguino IDE and want to program

this board with PIC-ICD2-POCKET or PIC-KIT3 you should use also PIC-ICSP convertor

board, same applies for Microchip programmers.

• Dimensions only 33,4mm at 54mm (1,3’’ at 2,125’’)
