PIC32 PINGUINO (MX220)

Description: ARDUINO-UNO like board with PIC32MX220F032D. Generally this board outperforms ARDUINO-UNO in regard to hardware capabilities as you can see from the table below:

* require additional chip FT232 or ATMega with USB
** hardware allows power down to 10 uA operation for hand-held battery apps

The only Pinguino shortcoming compared with Arduino is the smaller community and the less projects available ready for use.

Features:

• PIC32MX220F032D 32 bit, 40 Mhz microcontroller 32KB Flash 8KB RAM
• Ultra Low Power design
• Li-Po battery connector for hand-held applications
• UEXT connector which allows many existing modules like RF, ZIGBEE, GSM, GPS to be connected
• Two LEDs
• One USER BUTTON
• RESET button
• A Mini USB connector is used, which is common and used in most cell phones, so you do not have to buy other cables
• All PIC ports available on a 0.1" connector match the ARDUINO platform and the second row with correct 0.1"step
• The ICSP signals provided on a 0.1" step connector if you do not want to use Pinguino IDE and you want to program this board with PIC-KIT3.
