Olimex PIC32-PINGUINO-MX220 32-Bit Pinguino Development Board

This development board from Olimex uses the familiar Arduino UNO form factor but offers vast hardware improvements over the original R3, notably the 32-bit PIC32 chip!

This board enables code development of applications running on the PIC32MX220F032D microcontroller, manufactured by Microchip technology, using the Pinguino IDE.

This board uses a Mini-USB connector, so be sure to pick up a matching Mini-USB USB cable!

Hardware Differences

Here is a table highlighting the hardware differences between this board and the classic Arduino UNO R3 (the software approach is also different as the Piguino IDE is used with this PIC32 board):

	PIC32-PINGUINO-MX220	Arduino UNO R3
CPU	32 bit	8 bit
CLOCK	40 MHz	20 MHz
FLASH	32 KB	32 KB
RAM	8 KB	1 KB
USB	YES	NO*
LOW PWR	YES**	NO
GPIO MAX	40 MHz	5 MHz
ADC	1.1 MSPS	15 KSPS
DMA	YES 4 CH	NO
UEXT	YES	NO
