Overview

The picoTRONICS24 is our latest USB PIC24 development kit, for Microchips high performance range of 16-bit microcontrollers. This high quality, yet very affordable, development board comes fully populated, including with a PIC24FJ64GB004 microcontroller, with all the components you’ll need to get started with your project straight away.

This development kit is designed for ease of use, is well suited for those who want to get cracking on their microcontroller projects straight away. The picoTRONICS24 is very simple to use, and comes fully constructed with all the parts you’ll need to get started straight way.

The picoTRONICS24 is designed for Microchips powerful range of 16-bit microcontrollers in 44-pin TQFP packages. We really like the PIC24FJ64GB004-I/PT and have installed this on your board. The PIC24FJ64GB004 offers numerous features including: USB (without the need for external components), inbuilt oscillator (stable enough for use with USB), ADCs, hardware RTCC (user will need to solder a 32.768 KHz watch crystal for the RTCC) and peripherals that support peripheral pin select (allowing them to be assigned to almost any IO pin) including: 2 x UART, 2 x SPI, 2 x I2C, Charge Time Measurement Unit (CTMU) for capacitive touch interface and many more.

Note: To save on shipping the picoTRONCIS24 development kit doesn’t not come with soldered headers. These are provided separately for the user to solder themselves.
