New The BV513-Mini
Short Description
The BV513 is a platform for the PIC32 Microcontroller with built in SD Card interface, operating system and PIC32-Basic. There are three options:
- Flexible; this board has no connectors mounted, the user is able to choose which connectors are suitable for a particular application. It is also less cost.
- Experimenters; this board has turned pin sockets facing up so that wire can be plugged into the connector and then to a breadboard. The connectors can also take similar sockets to form a more permanent arrangement.
- Pluggable; this has sockets facing downwards that are designed to go into dual pin head connectors. The sockets are arranged in a 0.1" grid so that the board can be mounted on a standard proto-board.
Flexible
This board is designed for the user who needs maximum flexibility. As there are no sockets mounted the user is free to choose any kind of physical interface that suits. All of the sockets can be purchased separately and so this may be a lower cost option.
Experimenters
The experimenters board is designed for just that, experimenting. The sockets used conveniently take breadboarding wire without the need for soldering which is ideal for mocking up prototypes. The sockets can still be used if necessary in an application by using the same type of socket.
Here for example this has been built into an application, the connections being made by piggy backing the same connectors on top of each other.
Pluggable

The pluggable board as shown has four 8x2 sockets mounted on the underside. this is ideal for plugging into a mother board. The pictures show that the 8 way x 2 row pinhead connectors are ideal for an application
