Premier Farnell Stocks 32-bit MCU Development Platform in Arduino Form-Factor

摘要

Premier Farnell is first to stock Microchip Technology and Digilent's first chipKIT 32-bit microcontroller development platform.Microchip Technology and Diligent recently launched the first 32-bit-microcontroller-based, open-source development platform that conforms to Arduino hardware and software. Designed and manufactured by Digilent, a Microchip Authorised Design Partner, the chipKIT platform is the first 32-bit solution in Arduino form-factor in the industry to enable hobbyists and academics to easily and inexpensively integrate electronics into their projects, even if they do not have an electronic-engineering background. The platform consists of two PIC32-based development boards - Uno32 and Max32.The chipKIT hardware is compatible with existing 3.3V Arduino shields and applications, and can be developed using a modified version of the Arduino IDE and existing Arduino resources, such as code examples, libraries, references and tutorials. The platform provides an unprecedented level of features for the Arduino community and four times the performance of any existing Arduino solution at a low price.
