Chapter 1. Introducing the Development Board
1.1
INTRODUCTION
The PIC24FJ256DA210 Development Board is an efficient, low-cost development plat-
form to evaluate the features and performance of Microchip’s PIC24FJ256DA210
microcontroller. The 16-bit microcontroller integrates a high-performance graphics con-
troller, CTMU and USB OTG modules essential for integrated human interface applica-
tions. Supporting this is a range of user-defined interfaces, USB options and memory
expansions for the maximum flexibility in developing graphics-capable solutions. A
range of Microchip development tools and software environments, along with a range
of application libraries, simplifies the process of software development.
