CURIOSITY HIGH PIN COUNT (HPC) DEVELOPMENT BOARD

Overview

Satisfy Your Curiosity
Your next embedded design idea has a new home. Curiosity is a cost-effective, fully integrated 8-bit 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 development environment, Curiosity includes an integrated programmer/debugger, and requires no additional hardware to get started.

Your Tool for Function Enablement
Curiosity HPC is the perfect platform to harness the power of modern 8-bit PIC® Microcontrollers. Its layout and external connections offer unparalleled access to the Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) available on many newer 8-bit PIC MCUs. These CIPs enable the user to integrate various system functions onto a single MCU, simplifying the design and keeping system power consumption and BOM cost low.

Internet of Things Ready
Have an IoT design idea? Curiosity can make it real. Out of the box, the development board offers several options for user interface -including physical switches and an on-board potentiometer. A full complement of accessory boards is available via the MIKROE mikroBUS™ interface footprints.

Examples available for download or online editing via MPLAB® Xpress

Supports 28 or 40-pin 8-bit PIC® Microcontrollers with low voltage programming capability

Integrated Programmer/Debugger with USB Interface
Integrates seamlessly with MPLAB X IDE and Code Configurator
Various user interface options - analog potentiometer, and physical switches
