 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Sorry Mik, didn't saw the decimal point  (otherwise mine could blow instantly - he he). Anyway, I had a good laugh (don't ask).

Thanks Vasi for pointing this out. That is a fantastic design. How many 40 pin PIC16F and PIC18F boards are out there than can now easily covert to PIC32. Per the data sheet, a 512K/128K MX695 or 795 has the same footprint so they could easily build a version that works with Maximite. Question is would they since it would compete somewhat with their products. It's not easy to change a QFN. www.elproducts.com |

2011-10-31_174157_MaximiteStamp.zip I've just been playing around with a design for a Maximite stamp. I've used Express PCB to make this up. Any Comments, Improvements, Questions,... Its easier to ask forgiveness than to seek permission! ............VK6MRG.............VK3MGR............ |

I don't see why not as long as you buy their boards. The PIC32 multimedia boards have support for Arduino language inside MPIDE - something which compete with their compilers but sells their board (good enough for them). I asked if they would have support for bootloaders and now almost all their boards come with bootloaders - something which compete with their own PIC/AVR programmer. As log as they sells the boards, everything is ok. Vasi Hobbit name: Togo Toadfoot of Frogmorton Elvish name: Mablung Miriel Beyound Arduino Lang |

I can't see very well but, what are those triangles (is a closed circuit? can be noisy?)? Variants for different size capacitors? Hobbit name: Togo Toadfoot of Frogmorton Elvish name: Mablung Miriel Beyound Arduino Lang |

Nice board, nice price, wrong micro, so I think the $25USD will get closer to $30USD by the time it is fitted with a 695/795. Cheers Don... https://www.dontronics.com |

The PIC32MX534F064H and the PIC32MX795F512H are pin compatible!  Its easier to ask forgiveness than to seek permission! ............VK6MRG.............VK3MGR............ |

But the MINI-32 Board from MikroElektronika is connected differently to the MiniMaximite. So not directly compatible!  Its easier to ask forgiveness than to seek permission! ............VK6MRG.............VK3MGR............ |

That will be one of the real problems with alternative PIC32 boards, they won't be pin compatible with the Maximite. Let's face it, even the DuinoMite which was built as a Maximite compatible, isn't fully compatible. I believe there will be a lot of new PIC32 boards on the market in the near future, and the closer the schematic is to the Maximite, the easier the board will be to use. __________________ There are 10 types of people in the world....Those who understand binary, and those who don't, and then there is the other 8 that only understand Octal.
