Using Arduino with PIC32 and ATtiny Atmel Chips - Arduino - page 167

The MPIDE and chipKIT PIC32
chipKIT is an Arduino-derived variation that uses significantly faster hardware and has much more memory. In this
section, you will explore bigger, high-end options. The reference boards for the chipKIT environments are the Digilent
chipKIT Uno32 (shown in Figure 9-1 ) and the chipKIT Max32. The platform has been around long enough that there
are chipKIT-compatible boards, such as the chipKIT FubarinoSD and chipKIT Fubarino Mini. These boards all fall in
the same price range as the Arduino Uno and the Arduino Mega, but they have significantly improved performance.
The Arduino Due board is comparable in speed.

The chipKIT home page is at http://chipkit.net , and the documentation for the project is located at
http://chipkit.net/category/chipkit-projects . Support and discussion of the project is at the chipKIT
forum, at http://chipkit.org/forum . Lastly, the MPIDE source code and bootloader are located at
https://github.com/chipKIT32/chipKIT32-MAX . Table 9-1 gives a comparison of the two boards.
