chipKIT™ Pi (Designed for Raspberry Pi) is the latest chipKIT™ platform from Microchip and element14. It features a 32-bit PIC32 microcontroller in a prototyping-friendly, low pin count SPDIP package. The PIC32'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™ Multi-Platform IDE (MPIDE) that can be hosted on the Raspberry Pi.

Testers will be selected on the basis of quality of applications: we expect a full and complete description of why you want to test this particular product.
Testers are required to produce a full, comprehensive and well thought out review within 2 months of receipt of the product.
Failure to provide this review within the above timescale will result in the enrolee being excluded from future Road Tests.
Many thanks to all those who applied; as ever, the quality of applications presented us with a difficult choice. However, we have selected the following 5 testers:
Greg Fenton
Semih İşeri
Bhavesh Jaiswal
Ryan Slaugh
Dale Weber
Congratulations to our successful testers; those who weren't selected this time around, I urge to apply for future RoadTests. Thanks.
I think the main point for some of these products is media-sexiness, when you flash the words RaspberryPi and Arduino it seemingly is a source of profit
I am trying to work out what the point of these are - there was obviously a problem to be solved when designing this but for the life of me I cannot figure out what that might have been?
I hope that they will choose me to test out this product because i would love to add this into my raspbarry pi collection and i would have something to work on with my uncle.
