Arduino 32bits cards available from Digilent

MicrochipRTCfr

Hi,

 

Looking for a 32bits / 80MHz Arduino with plenty of FLASH & RAM  ( 512K / 128K ), Ethernet, USB, CAN ... ?

 

You can immediately get it from Digilent ;=)

 

regards

    frankman,

                   could you elaborate please.  Exactly what is not 100% compatible?  It is also my impression that not all of the Arduino clones are 100% compatible either.  I am interested because as a newbee to the Arduino I prefer not to buy something that may give me problems if I did not use the original UNO.  This diligent board looks to be a good price point for a complete board i.e. not a kit.

     

    Thanks

    Hi,

     

    The ChipKit Uno32 and Max32 have some pins with 3.3V max which is why they may have some compatibility issue with some boards.

     

    Digilent has just released a ChipKit Basic I/O shield to take advantage of the many peripherals on board on the PIC32.

     

    Another one is under development and will offer CAN, Ethernet and USB ;=)

     

    regards

    Hi

     

    The Chipkit Network shield is also available now. It enables Ethernet, USB and CAN when combined with the Chipkit MAX32

     

    Regards

  • Got my chipkit UNO32 today. image Worked well and blinked the led as it was powered up. I was very surprised when i was not able to program my UNO32, MPIDE reported: image

     

    avrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x0180

             0x00 != 0xff

    avrdude: verification error; content mismatch

    Due to some firmware/chip timing problem that has been known for quite a long time now, the programming failed. Not shure how long my unit has been sitting on the shelf, but i thougt this should have been caught at factory QA. Not a biggie if it could easily be upgraded with the new (downloadable) firmware, but it turn out that i need an ICSP programmer - which i don't have. A second inconveience is that the UNO32 is missing the ICSP connector, the connector itself is not soldered onto the board. The chipkit wiki had a page describing the problem, couldn't find anything about it on the diligent website.

    My UNO32 unit has a barcode label "D387905" that i suppose is the serial number.

     

    Are Diligent still shipping units with outdated firmware?

    Is this a common problem?

    Hi Cris,

     

    I have used my UNO32 for several months and have not had any problems using the USB interface with the software provided by the Diligent web site.  I have not used the MPIDE, but mine worked fine just from the IDE.
