Overview
The Cerebot MX7cK is a microcontroller
development board based on the Microchip
PIC32MX795F512L, 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
MX7cK 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 MX7cK is designed to be easy to
use and suitable for use by anyone from
beginners to advanced users for experimenting
with embedded control and network
communications application. A built in
programming/debugging circuit compatible with
the Microchip MPLAB
® IDE is provided, 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 MX7cK provides 52 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. Its network and
communications features also include a 10/100
Ethernet interface, Full Speed USB 2.0 OTG
interface, and dual CAN network interfaces.
Ten of the I/O pins can be used as analog
inputs in addition to their use as digital inputs
and outputs.
The Cerebot MX7cK can be powered in
various ways via USB, or using an external
AC-DC power adapter.
