It is in stock at distributor Digi-Key.
It comes preconfigured with an out-of-the-box multi-protocol demo application.
The board features a temperature sensor, a current measurement header, an RGB LED, and a MikroElectronika mikroBUS socket to attach many sensors and add-on boards.
Integrated programming/debugging features use the PICkit On-board 4 (PKoB4) debugger interface.
It requires only a micro USB cable to power up and program the board.
The Curiosity board includes a mikroBUS Click header, which helps the users to expand the functionalities by connecting to various MikroElectronika mikroBUS Click adapter boards.
It performs rapid prototyping utilising the BLE and Zigbee-enabled RF module.
