PROCESSING Power!

摘要

The 16-bit Experimenter was introduced in the December '09 issue of Nuts & Volts. This Experimenter targeted Microchip's 16-bit microcontrollers and is equipped with a +3.3V regulated power supply, a 16x3 LCD display, four pushbuttons, a 32K EEPROM, 10-pin I/O expansion bus, a 32 kHz clock crystal, and the Microchip ICSP interface for programming and debugging. The Experimenter form factor was made for easy insertion into solderless breadboard environments. Now, what if we told you that you can now use a 32-bit processor with this same Experimenter? Take a look at Figure I.
