Microchip Technology 8-Bit Low-Power PIC® and AVR® Microcontroller Tools are a portfolio of development boards with complete program and debug capabilities. The Microchip Technology boards offer low-power Curiosity Nano evaluation kits to support the next design. These kits are designed to integrate with MPLAB® Code Configurator (MCC), a free software plug-in for the award-winning MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The software provides a graphical interface to configure peripherals and functions specific to applications. Code examples are also available to help start development.
The PIC microcontrollers (MCUs) and AVR MCUs are excellent for conserving power in battery-powered, connected applications like wearables, wireless sensor networks, and other Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
