Curiosity Nano Explorer

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.
