| 50 - 10000 pcs | 4.76 EUR |
ARDUINO-UNO like board with PIC32MX220F032D.
Generally this board outperforms ARDUINO-UNO in regard to hardware capabilities as you can see from the table below:
| PIC32-PINGUINO-MX220 | ARDUINO-UNO | |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | 32 bit | 8 bit |
| CLOCK | 40 MHz | 20 MHz |
| FLASH | 32 KB | 32 KB |
| RAM | 8 KB | 1 KB |
| USB | YES | NO* |
| LOW PWR | YES** | NO |
| GPIO MAX | 40 MHz | 5 MHz |
| ADC | 1.1 MSPS | 15 KSPS |
| DMA | YES 4 CH | NO |
| UEXT | YES | NO |
* require additional chip FT232 or ATMega with USB
** hardware allows power down to 10 uA operation for hand-held battery apps
The only Pinguino shortcoming compared with Arduino is the smaller community and the less projects available ready for use.
FEATURES
- PIC32MX220F032D 32 bit, 40 Mhz microcontroller 32KB Flash 8KB RAM
- Ultra Low Power design
- Li-Po battery connector for hand-held applications
- UEXT connector which allows many existing modules like RF, ZIGBEE, GSM, GPS to be connected
- Two LEDs
- One USER BUTTON
- RESET button
- A Mini USB connector is used, which is common and used in most cell phones, so you do not have to buy other cables
- All PIC ports available on a 0.1" connector match the ARDUINO platform and the second row with correct 0.1"step
- The ICSP signals provided on a 0.1" step connector if you do not want to use Pinguino IDE and you want to program this board with PIC-KIT3.

FAQ
- I do everything just like in the examples with MOD-GSM but I receive no data. What do I do different?
- You might need to cut the UEXT cable (or create your own wires) connecting the MOD-GSM with the board so that only data call signals are left, refer to MOD-GSM with DUINOMITE boards (CTS is held at a high position, which means it will not send data)
