The DM240004 from Microchip is a PIC24F curiosity development board. It is a cost-effective, fully integrated 16bit development platform targeted at first-time users, makers and those seeking a feature rich rapid prototyping board. Designed from the ground-up to take full advantage of Microchip’s MPLAB X IDE and MPLAB Xpress cloud-based IDE, the board includes an integrated programmer/debugger and requires no additional hardware, making it a perfect starting point to explore PIC24F MCUs. It is a perfect platform to harness the power of 16bit PIC24F MCU. Its layout and external connections offer unparalleled access to the core independent peripherals (CIPs). These CIPs enable user to integrate various system functions onto a single MCU, simplifying the design and keeping system power consumption and BOM cost low. It offers seamless integration with software tool chain, including MPLAB Xpress cloud-based IDE, XC16 complier and MPLAB code configurator for easy set-up and prototyping.
