AVR64DD32 Curiosity Nano

The Curiosity Nano Explorer lives up to its name by providing extensive on-board features that allow users to explore and experiment with the microcontroller peripherals of their Curiosity Nano development board. It also serves as an ideal platform to become familiar with Microchip's software offerings, including MCC Melody.

A wide selection of input and output options:

• INPUTS include Touch (and mechanical) buttons, a potentiometer, a joystick, a temperature sensor, a proximity sensor, an ambient light sensor, and a microphone

• OUTPUTS include LEDs (simple yellow, standard RGB, and WS2812B RGB), an OLED display, and a speaker 

Solid support for serial communication:

• I2C Bus with eight clients
• SPI Bus with three clients
• UART connection

Microchip’s complementary technologies:

• Touch controller with three touch buttons and a separate touch button for use with microcontrollers featuring a touch peripheral
• ECC608 provides CryptoAuthentication™ features
• Power Monitoring by the PAC1944 enables the measurement of various power domains

Finally, if anything is missing on the Explorer, its functionality can be expanded via mikroBUS™, Grove or Qwiic® sockets.

MPLAB® X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is an expandable, highly configurable software program that incorporates powerful tools to help you discover, configure, develop, debug and qualify embedded designs for most of Microchip’s microcontrollers, microprocessors and digital signal controllers.

Microchip Studio is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for developing and debugging AVR® and SAM microcontroller applications. It merges all of the great features and functionality of Atmel Studio into Microchip’s well-supported portfolio of development tools to give you a seamless and easy-to-use environment for writing, building and debugging your applications written in C/C++ or assembly code.

The Microchip Curiosity Nano Base for Click boards™ evaluation kit is a hardware extension platform to ease the connection between Curiosity Nano kits and extension boards like the mikroBUS™ Click modules and Xplained Pro extension boards.
