Microstick enables design with microcontrollers
Microchip Technology
Microstick development board
Microchip's Microstick development board provides a complete solution for designing with its 16-bit PIC24H microcontrollers and dsPIC33F Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs), in a 20 x 76mm footprint.
The Microstick offers an integrated USB programmer/debugger and can be used standalone or plugged into a prototyping board.
It is populated with a socketed microcontroller that can be easily swapped out.
The Microstick works with the PIC24HJ64GP502 16-bit MCU and the dsPIC33FJ64MC802 DSC, which seamlessly blends DSP and MCU resources into a single architecture.
Software support includes the same free MPLAB IDE and software libraries that work with all of Microchip's 8/16/32-bit PIC microcontrollers and DSCs.
Additionally, the dsPIC33F DSCs are supported by the free demo version of Microchip's Device Blocksets for the Matlab language and Simulink environment, which work seamlessly within the MPLAB IDE.
This combination of tools and free software provides a platform for experimentation and development of smart sensors and a range of other embedded-control applications.
