DM320001 - PIC32 Starter Kit

The PIC32 Starter Kit contains everything needed to experience the high performance PIC32 microcontroller family. With over 35 source code examples, on-board programmer/debugger, free development tools and numerous design documents, your first program for a PIC32 MCU is just minutes away. The PIC32 Starter Kit includes an expansion header for adding Microchips Starter Kit expansion boards (coming soon) or for prototyping your own. Host PC requires Windows XP operating system. Microsoft Vista support is planned.

The PIC32 Starter Kit provides the easiest and lowest cost method to experience the PIC32 microcontroller for the first time. From the over 35 source code examples to the getting started project, users quickly learn Microchip's 32-bit family of microcontrollers and development tools. The kit includes everything needed to write, program, debug, and execute code on a high performance PIC32 microcontroller.
