t. Microsoft Visual Basic.NET support for PIC32MX250F128B, PIC32MX270F256B, PIC32MZ2048ECH100 and PIC32MZ2048ECH144 (PIC32MZ EC Starter Kit)

PIC32 microcontrollers are ideal for solving processing and digital signal processing problems. It is a really good thing that they can be programmed with an ICSP programmer with little changes to SW and HW (different wiring). They also feature more memory and a faster 1 MHz (1 Mps - mega samples per second) A/D converter (PIC32MZ speeds up to even 28 Mps). This is ideal for building a simple multichannel oscilloscope. If you think that 16 and especially 32-bit architectures require a hundred pin square casing which is difficult to solder or use in simple circuits, you are wrong! There are also 28-pin SPDIP versions that are as simple to use and as cheap to buy as a PIC18 microcontroller….

VB.NET support for PIC32MX250F128B, PIC32MX270F256B, PIC32MZ2048ECH100 and PIC32MZ2048ECH144 (PIC32MZ EC Starter Kit) microcontroller includes the following files:
