[Kirill] wrote in to share his Arduino-based PIC programmer. It is capable of writing to the 18F family of chips, including 18F2XXX and 18F4XXX. We think that’s pretty exciting because this line of ...

This projects enables programming PIC devices using Arduino only i.e. it should (in ideal cases) replace pickit and other programming devices. It currently only supports a very small number of devices ...

Before the Arduino took over the hobby market (well, at least the 8-bit segment of it), most hackers used PIC processors. They were cheap, easy to program, had a good toolchain, and were at the heart ...

A lot of people disparage PIC microcontrollers but—as I now know to my cost—these little rascals have an addictive quality about them. They can make life incredibly easy with respect to prototyping ...

As my projects became increasingly complex (and required more discrete components), I decided to migrate several of them from "discrete" electronics to microcontrollers. During this transition, I ...

Not only is chipKIT the first Arduino-compatible platform to provide 32-bit performance, but Microchip’s PIC32 microcontroller is also the highest performance 32-bit microcontroller in its class, ...

New Tools Available from Newark at Special Engineering-Week Discount; Enable chipKIT and Arduino User Communities to Easily Develop Wireless Applications In honor of National Engineer's Week, Newark ...

May 16, 2013. Microchip Technology Inc., a provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog, and flash-IP solutions, has announced the expansion of its Arduino-compatible chipKIT platform ecosystem, ...

Digi-Key Electronics, a global electronic components distributor, has launched an new video series in partnership with Arduino, Supplyframe and Microchip. The series demonstrates how three different ...

I missed this one before, when it was announced at Electronica: the Uno SPE Shield, created by Arduino and Microchip working together. It turns out, though, that it wasn't available back then. And it ...
