The DM330013 is a Microstick for dsPIC33F and PIC24H. The Microstick for dsPIC33F and PIC24H is the perfect solution for those looking for a low-cost, easy to use 16bit development platform. The USB-powered kit includes an on-board debugger/programmer and a DUT socket for easy device swapping. Microstick provides all you need to get started at a very low cost. It can be used as stand-alone or plugged into a prototyping board for extremely flexible development. The device under test is for easy change-out and Microchip's MPLAB integrated development environment supports Microstick. This board is designed to run with MPLAB IDE version 8.50 or later. While MPLAB IDE provides assembler tools for development, most of the code examples provided for Microchip devices are written in C language and require a C compiler to be installed.
