Microchip has announced a PIC32 Bluetooth starter kit, which includes a microcontroller, Bluetooth radio, leds, accelerometers, a temperature sensor, and push buttons.
On board, a PIC32MX270F256D runs at 83DMips with 256kbyte flash and 64kbyte RAM, and includes USB, I2S/SPI, capacitive touch sensing and an 8bit parallel port.
“The kit reduces software development time by offering a free Bluetooth SPP stack optimised for the on-board MCU for setting-up emulated serial port connections between two peer Bluetooth devices,” said Microchip.
Also implemented is ‘PICkit-on-board (PKOB) which eliminates the need for an external debugger or programmer, and there is a plug-in interface for a yet-to-be-released audio CODEC daughter card to support Bluetooth audio.
- PIC32 microcontroller
- HCI-based Bluetooth radio
- Cree high-output multi-colour LED
- Three single-colour LEDs

- analogue temperature sensor
- five push buttons.
- PICkit-on-board
Example of the applications the firm sees being developed are wireless: thermostats, gaming controllers, blood glucose meters, medical diagnostic tools, GPS receivers, barcode scanners, and Bluetooth serial adapters.
Support comes through Microchip’s free MPLAB X integrated development environment and Harmony integrated software framework.
The free quick-start package is available today, with an Android application development environment.
It also includes a free software development kit (SDK) with the application source and binary code for Microchip’s Bluetooth SPP library.
“Both are optimised for the on-board PIC32 MCU, and are available today via free download.
