K8055N-2 experiment board is internally powered by +3.3 V, so just the wire connections are needed to attach a PIC32MZ2048ECH100 PIM to the board.
Velleman K8055N-2 experiment board has some simple analog hardware that may be useful for experimenting with different microcontrollers. If also includes a +3.3 V voltage regulator, which can be used to power PIC32MZ2048ECH100 microcontroller. The only major obstacle is how to get the +5 V USB power. It is in fact only possible to get this power signal from TLV274 operational amplifier. An empty DIP-14 socket can inserted between the amplifier and the original socket to serve as an adapter. This way also no modifications are needed to the board. Or alternatively, you can draw +5 V from SK2 or SK3 jumpers sockets. You may also solter a +5 V power supply wire to a jumper that you use with SK2 or SK3. In this case, you have to be careful to always leave the "+5 V power supply" jumper on +5 V pin. See the schematic on the right hand side for more infromation.
