Whether you’re a beginner, professional, or hobbyist programmer, you’re probably familiar with Arduino-based boards, and the Pinguino derivative that utilizes mainly Python instead of Arduino’s usual C++. The PIC32-PINGUINO-MICRO from OLIMEX is one such board, providing a cost-effective solution with a range of potential applications as wide as its range of potential users.

The board is built around Microchip’s PIC32MX440F256H, a MIPS32 M4K 32-bit microcontroller with a max frequency of up to 80MHz. The MCU boasts a performance level of 1.56 DMIPS/MHz at 0 wait state Flash access, and features 256KB of Flash memory alongside an additional 32KB of RAM.

The UEXT connector enables connection of a variety of modules to the board — such as GPS, RF, ZIGBEE, Bluetooth, and GSM — in order to enable users to expand the board’s feature set to better tailor it to specific applications.

This board uses the Pinguino IDE for programming and development. Pinguino is a powerful open-source IDE that allows you to customize your PCBs across GNU/Linux or Windows platforms. It supports a wide range of microcontrollers and peripherals — you just need to download it to get your programming started.

If you’d like to get your own PIC32-PINGUINO-MICRO board, they are in stock and available for purchase on OLIMEX’s website for 9.95 euros — that’s $10.81 for you stateside viewers. Or, of course, you can enter this week’s raffle, linked above, for a chance to win this one here for free. Good luck!
