TCHIP011 ChipKIT Fubarino Mini Development Board

The Fubarino Mini is a prototyping-friendly platform for easy development and prototyping of Arduino compatible 32-bit applications. The size of the board makes it very prototype friendly due to its compact size (5.1 cm x 1.9 cm) and low cost allows the bard to be integrated in any developmental board. Due to this board comes in soldered pad features, which allows easy integration of the male/female headers.

Includes a USB bootloader, only compatible with chipKIT/MPIDE platform.

Features: 

• PIC32MX250F128D-50I/ML microcontroller, which includes 128KB Flash and 32K RAM
• MPIDE (Multi Platform IDE - a fork of the Arduino IDE) supports Fubarino Mini board out of the box
• Max 33 I/O pins (normally 27)
• Pads for 32 KHz crystal
• CPU runs at 48MHz
• Comes with headers (not installed) for easy mounting on a breadboard
• USB connector for power, programming, and connection to PC (serial, mass storage, etc.)
• Two buttons: RESET for resetting the board, and PRG for getting into bootloader mode and user application use
• USB bootloader pre-programmed at the factory no other hardware needed to program board
• Separate ICSP connector for hardware programming/debugging with PICKit3 or other ICSP programmer (not needed for use with MPIDE environment)
• USB cable included
