In addition, the expansion capabilities offered by incorporating a MikroBUS Click board header and pads for an RN4020 Bluetooth Module combine to create potentially powerful IoT solutions.
The Curiosity Board, which costs £11.76 also includes various LEDs, an mTouch button, push-button switches, and a potentiometer.
Power is supplied via a USB connector on the rear of the board. Curiosity is fully compatible with MPLAB Code Configurator as well as supporting 8/14/20 pin PIC MCUs.
Mike McGlade, Channel Manager for Microchip EMEA, says: “With a free IDE and C Compiler, Microchip’s new low cost Curiosity Board is a ‘no-brainer’.”
