It features a 32-bit PIC32MX2xx microcontroller in a prototyping-friendly, low pin count SPDIP package. The PIC32&rsquo;s performance, memory and integrated peripherals allow users to create applications including touch sensing, audio processing and advanced control. The board is supported by the free chipKIT&trade; Multi-Platform IDE (MPIDE) that can be hosted on the Raspberry Pi and allows users to create, compile and program Arduino sketch-based chipKIT&trade; applications within the Raspberry Pi operating system.

Hence the existing prototyping-friendly Arduino boards, which are all based on 5V 8-bit MCUs, require users to create or purchase additional components to translate the voltages. The chipKIT&trade; Pi can interface directly to the Raspberry Pi I/O Expansion header without any additional components, reducing both cost and design complexity.<br />&nbsp;<br />The chipKIT&trade; development platform is an open-source hardware and software solution intended for beginners and users with little or no knowledge of embedded controllers wanting to explore embedded applications. The chipKIT&trade; environment advances the art of open-source, physical computing by expanding support to more chip platforms and introducing new, high-performance libraries.

The PIC32&rsquo;s performance, memory and integrated peripherals allow users to create applications including touch sensing, audio processing and advanced control. The board is supported by the free chipKIT&trade; Multi-Platform IDE (MPIDE) that can be hosted on the Raspberry Pi and allows users to create, compile and program Arduino sketch-based chipKIT&trade; applications within the Raspberry Pi operating system.

Hence the existing prototyping-friendly Arduino boards, which are all based on 5V 8-bit MCUs, require users to create or purchase additional components to translate the voltages. The chipKIT&trade; Pi can interface directly to the Raspberry Pi I/O Expansion header without any additional components, reducing both cost and design complexity.<br />&nbsp;<br />The chipKIT&trade; development platform is an open-source hardware and software solution intended for beginners and users with little or no knowledge of embedded controllers wanting to explore embedded applications. The chipKIT&trade; environment advances the art of open-source, physical computing by expanding support to more chip platforms and introducing new, high-performance libraries.
