Overview
The Cerebot MX3cK is a microcontroller
development board based on the Microchip
PIC32MX320F128H, a member of the 32-bit
PIC32 microcontroller family. It is compatible
with Digilent’s line of Pmod™ peripheral
modules, and is suitable for use with the
Microchip MPLAB
®
IDE tools. The Cerebot
MX3cK is also compatible for use with the
chipKIT™ MPIDE development environment.
ChipKIT and MPIDE is a PIC32 based system
compatible with many existing Arduino™ code
examples, reference materials and other
resources.
The Cerebot MX3cK is designed to be easy to
use and suitable for use by anyone from
beginners to advanced users for experimenting
with electronics and embedded control
systems. It is intended to be used with either
the Multi-Platform IDE, (modified Arduino IDE),
MPIDE, or the Microchip MPLAB IDE. The kit
contains everything needed to start developing
embedded applications using the MPIDE. In
order to use the MPLAB IDE, an additional
programming/debugging device, such as a
Microchip PICkit3 is required.
The Cerebot MX3cK provides 42 I/O pins that
support a number of peripheral functions, such
as UART, SPI and I
2
C™ ports as well as five
pulse width modulated outputs and five
external interrupt inputs. Eleven of the I/O pins
can be used as analog inputs in addition to
their use as digital inputs and outputs.
The Cerebot MX3cK can be powered via USB,
or an external power supply that may be either
an AC-DC power adapter, or batteries.
