Overview:chipKITPi

Introduction

chipKIT™Pi(DesignedforRaspberryPi)isthelatestArduino™compatiblechipKIT™platformfrom

Microchipandelement14.Itfeaturesa32‐bitPIC32microcontrollerinaprototyping‐friendly,low

pincountSPDIPpackage.ThePIC32'sperformance,memoryandintegratedperipheralsallowusers

tocreateapplicationsincludingtouchsensing,audioprocessingandadvancedcontrol.Theboardis

supportedbythefreechipKIT™Multi‐PlatformIDE(MPIDE)thatcanbehostedontheRaspberryPi.

GettingupandrunningwithchipKIT™Pi

chipKIT™PireliesontheopensourceMPIDEintegrateddevelopmentenvironment,aversionof

whichhasbeenportedtoanoperatingsystemthatrunsonRaspberryPi.

Itisrecommended,foreaseandforfirsttimeuse,thatusersdownloadthecompleteoperating

systemandMPIDEasacompletepackage.Thiscanbedownloadedat

http://downloads.element14.com/downloads/chipkit_pi.zip,andshouldbesavedtoyourcomputer.

Thefilewillbequitelarge(2GB),andwillrequireunzippingonceithasbeendownloaded.Once

unzipped,youwillbeleftwitha.ISOimagefile,readyforflashingtoyouremptySDCard.

ChooseanSDCardofatleast4GBcapacity.UseaflashingutilitylikeWin32DiskImager(available

forfree,fromhttp://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/)toflashthe.ISOimagetoyourSD

Card.Whencomplete,insertthefullyflashedSDCardtoyourRaspberryPi.

PlugyournewchipKIT™PiboardintoRaspberryPi,andpowerup.AsMPIDEisalreadyinstalled,you

shouldbeabletostartMPIDEfromthedesktop.Forreliableoperation,donotplugchipKIT™Piinto

aRaspberryPithatisalreadypoweredup.Alwayspowerupbothdevicestogether.

PoweringthechipKIT™Pi

ThechipKITPicanbepoweredinthefollowingways:

‐ OvertheUSB

‐ ViatheICSPConnection

‐ ThroughtheVininput

‐ FromtheRaspberryPi

‐ Throughthepowerjack

ProgrammingthechipKITPifromMPIDE

InordertoprogramthechipKITPifromMPIDEwithyoursketch,theboardmustbesetto

bootloadermode.Toenterbootloadermode:

1. EnsurethatbothJumpersJP1andJP4areconnectedtoupper‐mostpinsoftheirheader



2. PressandholdtheBOOTLOAD‐ENbutton.

3. WhiletheBOOTLOAD‐ENbuttonisstillpressed,pressandreleasetheRESETbutton.

4. ReleasetheBOOTLOAD‐ENbutton.

5. BootloadermodewillbeconfirmedwhentheTX1LEDisonandtheRX1flashes.

6. Afterthesketchisuploaded,theTX1andRX1LEDswillturnoff.

ExampleSketches

SketchesareArduino™styleprogrammesthatallowyoutosimplycontrolvariousaspectsofthe

chipKITPi’sprocessor,peripheralsandGPIO.SomeexamplesarebuiltintotheMPIDEsoftware.The

bestwaytolearnistoselectone,loaditanduploaditintothechipKIT™Pi.

ThechipKITPicanalsobeusedasastandalonechipKITboard.AversionofthePIC32MX250F128B

microcontrollerisavailablepreprogrammedwithaUSBbootloaderthatcanbeusedtoreplacethe

PIC32withUARTbootloaderthatcomeswiththechipKITPi.Inthisway,theuserwouldsimply

connectthechipKITPiviatheUSBconnectiontotheirpersonalcomputer’sUSBportandusethe

MPIDEversionfortheiroperatingsystem.ForinstructiononhowtodownloadtheMPIDE,see
