Overview

The MIKROE-2340 Flip & click is a versatile development board featuring the high-performance PIC32MZ2048EFH100 microcontroller based on the MIPS32 architecture. It is designed with a double-sided layout that offers Arduino-style headers on one side and four mikroBUS sockets on the other, allowing for rapid hardware expansion with click boards.

Why Choose This Part

The board provides a massive 2MB of Flash memory and 65 GPIO pins, offering significantly more resources than standard 8-bit prototyping platforms. Its unique 'Flip' design enables seamless integration of both the Arduino ecosystem and over 1,000 different MikroElektronika click boards on a single hardware footprint.

Applications

Rapid Prototyping
Quickly bridge the gap between Arduino-style shields and professional mikroBUS sensor/communication modules.
Embedded Control Systems
Utilize the 200MHz clock speed and 2048KB Flash for complex control algorithms and high-speed data processing.
Connectivity Gateways
Develop multi-interface hubs using the built-in USB, UART, I2C, and SPI peripherals provided by the PIC32MZ core.
Digital Signal Processing
Leverage the MIPS32 core capabilities for real-time audio or sensor data filtering applications.

Getting Started

To begin development, connect the board via USB and use the MikroElektronika compilers or Microchip MPLAB X IDE with the XC32 compiler. The board is pre-programmed with a fast USB-HID bootloader, allowing for code uploads without an external hardware debugger, though an ICSP header is available for standard PIC tools.
