In this review we are going to look at one of the Chipkit boards sold by Farnell, the Chipkit Uno32 which is a look-a-like of the Arduino Uno. Digilent teamed up with Microchip and designed the Chipkit family which consists of a PIC32 device with a number of different peripherals. Since then many different companies, including Google and Texas Instruments recently, have tried to cream off some of the profit in this great invention by making their own Arduino form-factored boards but with their processor family.Īnother manufacturer who has decided to try that is Digilent. When the Arduino were developed as a university project some years ago nobody knew that it would become such a big invention. The price to performance ratio was good: 10 Specifications were sufficient to design with: 10 What were the biggest problems encountered?: Shield compatibility with other Arduino shields (should be 3.3V compatible)

Was everything in the box required?: The box only contains the board itself, nothing else

Evaluation Type: Development Board, PIC32Īpplication you used the part in: Arduino form-factored development/prototyping
