Followup: chipKIT network shield price, source, and more
Gene Apperson from Digilent gave us more background on the chipKIT network and I/O shields: Price of the Basic I/O Shield: I was surprised at how high our cost was on this board. I had originally thought we would be able to sell it for $25, but there is no way we could get enough margin […]
Notes from the ChipKIT designer
The hardware designer of Microchip’s ChipKIT Arduino thing gave us some more info in the forum: I’m the engineer at Digilent who designed the chipKIT boards. The USB interface is done using the FTDI FT232R USB-UART chip. This is the chip used on earlier Arduino boards. The newer Uno and Mega2560 use the ATmega8U2. The […]
Another chipKIT unboxing
Jorge posted his first impressions of the chipKIT PIC32MX based boards : The boards are produced by Digilent, Inc., and they share the same high quality and detail I’ve seen on other development boards produced by them. No need to say that the new chipKIT platform has behind it the marketing machinery of Microchip… Via […]
chipKIT: Open source PIC USB and Ethernet drivers?
According to Microchip Digilent is currently working on a USB, Ethernet, and CAN shield for the chipKIT. This is a really interesting project because it means drivers for PIC USB and Ethernet peripherals will be released. To jive with the Arduino community those drivers will need to be open source. We’ve had nothing but problems […]
chipKIT Uno32™ Arduino-compatible prototyping platform
Digilent, Inc. announces the pending release of the chipKIT™ Uno32™. The Uno32 is an Arduino-compatible platform combining Arduino compatibility with the performance of the Microchip PIC32 microcontroller. The Uno32 is the same form factor as the Arduino Uno board and is compatible with Arduino shields. It features a USB serial port interface for connection to […]
