Chapter 1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Microchip Technology PIC32MX470 Curiosity
Development Board.
The PIC32MX470 Curiosity Development Board includes an integrated
programmer/debugger and requires no additional hardware to get started. Users
can expand functionality through MikroElectronika mikroBUS™ Click™ adapter
boards, add Bluetooth
®
connectivity with the Microchip BM64 Bluetooth Audio
module, and add audio input/output capability with Microchip audio daughter
boards.
With or without expansion boards, the PIC32MX470 Curiosity Development Board
provides the freedom to develop for a variety of applications, including Internet of
Things (IoT), robotics development, and proof-of-concept designs.
