chipKIT Videos

The chipKIT boards from Digilent Inc have been available for a few months now and it looks like the community is starting to show off some impressive and fun projects. Take a look at the videos.

Working on an MPLAB C32 documentation update

I've started work on a much needed update to the MPLAB C Compiler for PIC32 MCUs documentation. I think that I already know what sections need improvement and which sections need to be added, but your suggestions will definitely help. Hit me up on Twitter with your suggestions or leave them in the comments here.

Microchip demonstrates MPLAB X

Microchip's Vice President of Development Systems talks about the MPLAB X IDE at the Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose.

chipKIT for the Arduino™ Community has launched

In case you haven't heard the news, the chipKIT™ for the Arduino™ community has launched! These chipKIT™ development boards are the first 32-bit microcontroller-based platforms that are compatible with existing Arduino™ hardware and software. chipKITs can be programmed using an environment based on the original Arduino™ IDE modified to support PIC32 that also still supports the original Arduino™ line.

You can order a board directly from Digilent Inc. NKC Electronics already has protoshields available, just a few days after the chipKIT launch.

Download the multi-platform IDE software from github and leave us constructive feedback in the community forums.
