Quick Start Guide
Overview
The PIC32MM Curiosit y Devel opment Boa rd is a de monstr ation, dev elopmen t and
experimentation platform based on the PIC32MM0064GPL036 low-power, lowcost microcontroller. The board has a built-in programmer/debugger and provides
all of the hardware necessary to get started developing a complete embedded
application. Some key features of the board include:
• PIC32MM0064GPL036 general purpose, 32-bit microcontroller
• PICkit™ On-Board (PKOB) circuit implements basic
programming/debugging ability
•MCLR
• Red/Green/Blue (RGB) LED + two general purpose indicator LEDs
• 10k potentiometer
• 32.768 kHz crys tal
• Female headers for access to microcontroller I/O pins
• Small prototyping area + Bluetooth
• mikroBUS™ interface for hardware expansion
Board Power-up
The board is intended to be powered th rough the mic ro-B USB connector (USB1).
A MIC5528 linear regulator (U5) generates the +3.3V rail used by the
PIC32MM0064GPL036 microcontroller.
Getting Started
Microchip Technology provides several example projects that can be used to get
started with the PIC32MM Curiosity Development Board. The source code, the
MPLAB
can be obtained from:
http://www.microchip.com/curiosity
http://www.microchip.com/mplab
http://www.microchip.com/xc32
http://www.microchip.com/mcc
The preprogrammed “out-of-box” demo project for the PIC32MM Curiosity
Development Board impleme nts an RGB color mixing applicat ion. In the demo , the
potentiometer can be used to adjust each color channel intensity, independently,
while the push buttons are used to select the channel to be adjusted.
In order to use the PKOB programmer/debugger within the MPLAB X IDE (v3.50
or later recommended), select:
