Microchip Technology PIC18F57Q43 Curiosity Nano Kit (DM164150)

Microchip PIC18F57Q43 Curiosity Nano Kit (DM164150) is a hardware platform to evaluate microcontrollers in the PIC18-Q43 family. The PIC18F57Q43 Board provides easy access to the features of the PIC18F57Q43 Microcontroller (MCU) that is mounted on the board.

The Microchip PIC18F57Q43 Evaluation Board is supported by Microchip MPLAB® X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and includes the PIC18F57Q43 allowing exploration to integrate the device into a custom design.

Curiosity Nano is an evaluation platform of small boards with access to most of the microcontrollers I/Os. The platform consists of a series of low pin count microcontroller (MCU) boards with on-board debuggers, which are integrated with Microchip MPLAB X IDE. Each board is identified in the IDE. No external tools are necessary to program and debug the PIC18F57Q43.
