Part III

Expansion

Congratulations, you have endured five more days of hard fieldwork. You have learned to use some of the key hardware peripheral modules of the PIC32MX, and you have put them to use on the Explorer 16 demo board.

In the third part of this book we will start developing new projects that will require you to master several peripheral modules at once. Since the complexity of the examples will grow a bit more, not only is it recommended you have an actual demonstration board (the Explorer 16) at hand, but you’ll also need the ability to perform small modifications and utilizing the prototyping area to add new functionality to the demonstration board. Simple schematics and component part numbers will be offered in the following chapters as required. On the companion Web site, www.ExploringPIC32.com, you will find additional expansion boards and prototyping options to help you enjoy even the most advanced projects.
