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.

CircuitGizmos said robert.rozee: Carrier board?

for example grogster's Explore64 board. being smd, an MX470 needs to be soldered down to something to experiment with it, as opposed to a 28-pin SDIP MX170 that can simply be plugged into a solderless breadboard or a socket on a piece of veroboard. for many hobby users the MX470 will only be usable for them when supplied as part of a assembled PCB.

Here is how I am currently running my MM170

Just a few connectors, jumpers and a piece of ViroBoard and you can turn the Low Pin Count Demo board (that many of us got when we bought the PICKit2 years ago) into a nice Micromite Development platform.

As a Bonus it can also accept an Arduino Board, Chipkit Board, 18 Pin PIC adaptor and still operate with the entire low pin count PIC Family.

It is so simple that even a novice could make it and get some soldering practice too.

Cheers
Chris
