Pinout Printout chipKIT PI and DP32 - PIC32MX250F128B

5/31/2015

Here is a printout that I put together to be able to tape on top of your microcontroller to display the pin numbers according to your board settings chosen while programming, either the chipKIT Pi or the DP32 (both use the same microcontroller).

This is also perfect for people that are building their own DIY PIC32 board found in this link below:
http://chipkit.net/diy-chipkit-board/

Your can print them on one page or print them double sided selecting 'flip on long edge' so you can just cut the paper in half saving paper. The chipKIT Pi version is on the first page and the DP32 version is on the second page. Print it out, cut it, and tape it on.

If requested I can put this together for other boards and/or I can make a colored version that I am currently working on to help decipher PWM pins, analog pins, voltage inputs, and ground.

Printout Key:
R = MCLR
V = VDD = 3.3v
G = VSS = GND
C1 = OSC1 = crystal oscillator
C2 = OSC2 = crystal oscillator
T = Tantalum capacitor 10uF (positive side)
B = VBUS
L = Bootload LED output (blinks when in bootloader mode)
P = Program/Bootload button input pin

Hope someone finds this useful.

See the image attached below as an example and the PDF file to print as well.

Change 14 pins all at once - pic32

5/31/2015

0 Comments

Most of the time you would simply toggle one pin at a time on a microcontroller, but each pin takes its own small amount of time to be turned on. Using the code below you can change the state of 14 pins at the same time with a max frequency of 5Mhz all at one time.

If you want the fastest way to turn on a pin see the following code below. This simultaneously turns on 14 pins and then off 14 pins using a PIC32MX250F128B microcontroller.

// PIC32MX250B128F microcontroller
//using DP32 board setting in MPIDE or UECIDE

void setup() {
delay(2500);
// sets pins 0-8 as outputs and turned low
for(int i = 0; i<9; i++)
{
    pinMode(i, OUTPUT);
    digitalWrite(i, LOW);
}
// sets pins 11-14 as outputs and turned low
for (int i =11; i<15; i++)
{
    pinMode(i, OUTPUT);
    digitalWrite(i, LOW);
}
// pin 17
pinMode(17, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(17,LOW);

}

void loop() {
while(true)
{
    LATB |= 0xEFBF;
    LATB &= 0x0000;
}
}

Below is a screenshot using a logic analyzer to see all 14 pins changing at the same time on the PIC32MX250F128B microcontroller. This was taken using the Analog Discovery™ using WaveForms™.

Ways to Toggle digital pin

5/26/2015

There are many different ways to toggle a digital pin on a PIC32 microcontroller using MPIDE or UECIDE.

I will be going over a few different ways available and then going over the details for each if there is any interest in a complete code example to run.

1)    digitalWrite(14, HIGH);
       digitalWrite(14, LOW);

2)    LATA |= 1;
       LATA &= ~1;

3)    LATAbits.LATA1 = 1;
       LATAbits.LATA1 = 0;

4)    digitalWrite(14, ~digitalRead(14));

5)    digitalWrite(14, !digitalRead(14));

6)    LATAINV =1;

7)    LATASET=1;
       LATACLR=1;

Do you have a favorite way to access a digital pin or another way not listed?
