The Explorer 16/32 Development Board is a flexible and convenient development,
demonstration and testing platform for 16-bit PIC24 MCUs, dsPIC DSCs and 32-bit
PIC32 MCUs from Microchip Technology. It features all the necessary hardware to begin
developing and debugging a complete embedded application. The board accepts
Processor Plug-In Modules (PIMs) designed for the Explorer 16 or Explorer 16/32
development board for easy device swapping. In addition to the hardware features
provided by the board, hardware expansion is possible through the use of PICtail™ Plus
daughter cards and mikroBUS™ accessory boards. Coupled with the integrated
PICkit™-On-Board (PKOB), MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger or MPLAB REAL ICE™ real-
time emulation and debug facilities enable faster evaluation and prototyping of
application.
Explorer 16/32 Development Board offers only the main board, giving the option to
customize the other necessary components. Choose PIM of your choice based on MCUs
and DSCs under consideration from wide range of Processor Plug-In Modules. This
board is optimal for customers migrating from Classic Explorer 16 to new Explorer
16/32 platform, while all the necessary additional components like Processor Plug-In
Modules and PICtail™ Plus Daughter Boards are already available

Backwards Compatibility
Explorer 16/32 Development Board is completely backwards compatible with the
Classic Explorer 16 Development Board (DM240001 and DM240002) and its associated
ecosystem that include:
Processor Plug-In Modules (PIMs)
PICTail™ Plus Daughter Boards
Code Examples, Ptototypes and Software Libraries developed on Classic Explorer 16 development Board
Use all of existing codes, libraries, prototypes, PIMs and the PICtail Plus daughter cards
interfaced via side PICtail Plus connector directly. Re-use the PICtail Plus daughter cards
interfaced via vertical PICtail Plus connector using additional PICtail Plus Expansion
Board (AC240100)
