Overview
The Cerebot MX4cK is a microcontroller
development board based on the Microchip
PIC32MX460F512L, 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
MX4cK 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 MX4cK 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. A built in programming/debugging
circuit compatible with the Microchip MPLAB
®
IDE is provided on the board, so no additional
hardware is required for use with MPLAB. The
kit contains everything needed to start
developing embedded applications using either
the MPLAB
®
IDE or the MPIDE.
The Cerebot MX4cK provides 74 I/O pins that
support a number of peripheral functions, such
as USB controller, UART, SPI and I
2
C™ ports
as well as five pulse width modulated outputs
and five external interrupt inputs. Fifteen of the
I/O pins can be used as analog inputs in
addition to their use as digital inputs and
outputs.
The Cerebot MX4cK can be powered via USB,
or an external power supply that may be either
an AC-DC power adapter, or batteries.
