Microchip PIC32 USB Starter Kit II

The PIC32 USB Starter Board provides the easiest and lowest cost method to experience the USB On-The-Go family of PIC32 microcontrollers. Users can develop USB embedded host, device, dual-role, or On-The-Go applications by combining this board with Microchip's free USB software (On-The-Go support provided in a future software release).

The USB Starter Board has the same form factor and expansion connector as the PIC32 Starter Kit (#DM320001). New in MPLAB 8.10 is support for the 32-bit edition of Microsoft Windows Vista, with support for the 64-bit edition currently in development for a future release. Windows XP and Windows 2000 are also supported.


The PIC32 USB Starter Board enables users to develop USB embedded host, device and OTG applications on the high performance PIC32 microcontroller family.
