PIC32CX-BZ2 and WBZ451 Curiosity Development Board

Microchip's PIC32CX-BZ2 and WBZ451 Curiosity board performs rapid prototyping utilizing the Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) and Zigbee®-enabled RF module

Image of Microchip's PIC32CX-BZ2 and WBZ451 Curiosity Development Board Microchip's PIC32CX-BZ2 and WBZ451 Curiosity development board, based on the WBZ451PE module, is the development platform for evaluating the PIC32CX-BZ2 family of MCUs. It comes preconfigured with an out-of-the-box multi-protocol demo application. It features a temperature sensor, a current measurement header, an RGB LED, and a MikroElectronika mikroBUS™ socket to attach many sensors and add-on boards.

The PIC32CX-BZ2 and WBZ451 Curiosity board offers integrated programming/debugging features using the PICkit™ On-board 4 (PKoB4) debugger interface. It requires only a micro USB cable to power up and program the board. The Curiosity board includes a mikroBUS™ Click™ header, which helps the users to expand the functionalities by connecting to various MikroElectronika mikroBUS Click adapter boards. It performs rapid prototyping utilizing the BLE and Zigbee-enabled RF module.
