Our latest 3D model is the PICqueno32 v1a. This is our knock-off of the chipKIT Uno32 board. It is fully compatible with their IDE. Check out our tutorial on how to build 3D models from Cadsoft Eagle board files, as well as the tutorial on how to render life like images with Maxwell for Google […]

PICqueño32 power up test and first program
Today we did the first test of the PICqueño32 hardware. See the previous video of the build and PIC chip replacement. Learn more about the PICqueño32 on the wiki, and don’t forget there are PCBs in the free PCB drawer if you want to build your own. We’ll give away two free PCB coupons on […]
Repairing the PICqueño32 dev-board prototype
In a previous video we soldered the PICqueno32 prototype. There was a big mistake though, we used the wrong PIC32 chip. In this video the old chip comes off and the new chip goes on. For the swap we used a flux sample sent by Farnell. It was fantastic! Here’s the webpage if you want […]
Soldering PICqueño32 dev-board prototype
A video of the PICqueno32 prototype build and test process. About 70 minutes of soldering is reduced to 5 minutes. First the big chips go down. This board has a 64pin TQFP PIC32 and a 28pin SOIC FT232 USB->serial chip. We had to salvage the FT232 from an old Bus Pirate prototype. Next the small […]
STATUS UPDATE: PICqueño32 v1.0
PICqueño32 is our knock-off the Arduino-compatible chipKIT Uno32. Earlier this summer Microchip and Digilent released a 32bit, PIC 32 development board. Yeah, it’s in the shape of an Arduino. What sets it apart from others is the open source compiler that works with the Arduino IDE and existing Arduino programs. We decided to make a […]
