I previously showed you my PIC32 proto board I made on verroboard ( http://tahmidmc.blogspot.com/2014/02/pic32-development-proto-board-on.html ). To make the proto board “more of a product” and easy to reproduce, I was working to make the proto board on a PCB. I used ExpressSCH to draw the schematic, and used ExpressPCB to design the PCB. Once designed, Professor Bruce Land got the PCB made from ExpressPCB themselves. The PCB is just to be a basic board with the PIC32MX250F128B placed on it. The power supply connections are provided as are external oscillator connections (if needed). Additionally, there is a nice convenient power supply input connector (standard 2.5mm jack/plug). All the IO pins along with power (Vin and +3.3V) and ground are placed on a SIL connector at the edge of the board so that the board can be conveniently placed on a breadboard for experimenting and prototyping (see pictures below). It's a nice little 2-layer PCB measuring only 3.1 inches by 1.8 inches. I ...

As previously mentioned ( http://tahmidmc.blogspot.com/2013/09/200000-views-ithaca-arm-and-dmips.html ) I’m doing an independent study under the supervision of Professor Bruce Land here at Cornell University. A semester has passed and I will be continuing my independent study next semester. The independent study (that I'm doing and will be continuing) is on exploring and comparing the peripheral modules of the Microchip PIC32MX250F128B (on the Microstick II platform) and the Atmel AT91SAM3X8E (on the Arduino Due platform). This semester, I've done a good amount of introductory exploration of the two 32-bit microcontrollers. Here are the links to the datasheets of the two microcontrollers on which my independent study is based: AT91SAM3X8E: www.atmel.com/Images/doc11057.pdf PIC32MX250F128B: http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/61168E.pdf The Microchip PIC32MX250F128B is a 32-bit RISC microcontroller based on the MIPS M4K core. In this independent study, I have used th...
