IoT Development Tools for PIC32
The first lecture of this series will introduce you to the Microchip PIC32MM Curiosity Development Board. We will utilize the latest versions of MPLABX, the XC32 C compiler, and the Microchip Code Configurator to assemble IoT firmware packages that drive the PIC32MM Curiosity's PIC32MM0064GPL036 microcontroller and associated peripherals. We will also present source code to drive ADC and DAC MikroElektronika click boards, which are supported by the PIC32MM Curiosity Development Board's mikroBUS.
ToDay's lecture will expand upon the capabilities of the PIC32MM0064GPL036. We will mount a PIC32MM0064GPL036 PIM on our Explorer 16/32 Development Board and use the MPLAB software tools to create firmware capable of driving even more MikroElektronika click boards including a GPS click module.
Bare metal IoT design is the theme of the Day. In toDay's lecture we will sing out of tune and, without the aid of MPLAB Harmony, craft a PIC32MZ EF microSD click board driver. While we're at it, we will also teach the PIC32MZ EF to sense temperature and humidity using a DHT22-2 click board.
It's tree hugger Day. We will utilize the MikroElektronika EasyPIC Fusion v7 Development Board to monitor the environment and transmit the data using a BLE2 click module.
The final lecture of this series goes cellular. We will use the MikroElektronika EasyPIC Fusion v7 Development Board to make a call using a GSM click board.
