Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller, analog and Flash-IP solutions, and Stratford Digital, today announced a full, turnkey, 16-bit microcontroller development platform that enables educators to quickly and easily integrate Microchip into their curriculum. The PIC24-based platform includes two boards—the MX PIC24 Module (part # TSTR001) and MX Educational Target Board (part # TSTR002)—and a free software download of an Educator’s Lab Manual, including 10 unique labs on topics ranging from “Intro to Microcontrollers,” to timers, Pulse-Width Modulation and Analog-to-Digital Converters, to power management. Microchip will be demonstrating the platform at its booth, # 647, at the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) Annual Conference & Exhibition June 26 – 29 in Vancouver, B.C.
The MX PIC24 Module includes an onboard PIC24FJ256GB110 16-bit microcontroller from Microchip that features 256 KB Flash program memory and 16 KB RAM. The module also includes 32 KB on-chip EEPROM and an onboard debugger/programmer. The MX Educational Target Board accepts any MX module and includes a breadboard area, plus SPI, I2C™, RS-232, CAN and JTAG ports, along with four LEDs. General tools needed for the Lab Manual, such as Microchip’s MPLAB® IDE v.8.63, are also included.
