This past semester, I worked on an independent study/project where I explored the programming of the PIC32. I've provided the details in the following PDF document. The key takeaway I believe is: "This document presents sufficient background information on the project, and implementation specific details. The most important contribution this makes is adding the experiences and a full implementation of the project. For even more detail and a thorough understanding, it is recommended that this report be read along with the reference documents mentioned in Section 4.1." I plan on improving this, as well as exploring the option of programming other PICs this summer. A cursory look made me think that the PIC32 programming standard was more complicated than the PIC16's. I'll find out! All the project code and settings can be found here . This includes the PIC32 project, as well as the MATLAB code for the programmer software https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4SoPFPRNziH...

I previously showed you my PIC32 proto board I made on verroboard ( http://electel.blogspot.com/2016/02/pic32-development-proto-board-on.html ). To make the proto board “more of a product” and easy to reproduce, I was working to make the proto board on a PCB. I used ExpressSCH to draw the schematic, and used ExpressPCB to design the PCB. Once designed, Professor Bruce Land got the PCB made from ExpressPCB themselves. The PCB is just to be a basic board with the PIC32MX250F128B placed on it. The power supply connections are provided as are external oscillator connections (if needed). Additionally, there is a nice convenient power supply input connector (standard 2.5mm jack/plug). All the IO pins along with power (Vin and +3.3V) and ground are placed on a SIL connector at the edge of the board so that the board can be conveniently placed on a breadboard for experimenting and prototyping (see pictures below). It's a nice little 2-layer PCB measuring only 3.1 inches by 1.8 inches. I c...
