On my sample PIC32MX795F512H the error ranged from +0.3% at 20 deg C ambient to -0.5% at 100 deg C. While measuring I kept Vdd at exactly 3.3V. Should be good enough for a serial baud rate generator.

Try to add acceleration and deceleration on movement. Costant speed is quite unnatural to see! Alberto. Great example!

Do you use the Microchip Graphic library or you wrote your own? Me too I have a PIC32MX4 board and also wish to look at your code. Do you use the Microchip Graphic library or you wrote your own?

I received one of these PIC32MX4 Multimedia boards a couple weeks ago. Would love to see your code for creating these graphics. Very Nice!

I just started a new project: porting some code I wrote a few years ago for an AVR Atmega processor to a new PIC32. Having printf available should make my job much easier. I am glad I stopped by.

The design is simpler than Microchip starter Kit, but you can make your own projects at the cheapest cost and without "expansion" boards. The quality of the proto-area is very good and it's a real pleasure to solder components on it, many times without the risk of damage. The worst problem is debuggin: Microchip's MPLAB doesnt support directly PicKit2 and ICD. Also the JTAG connector is another great promise betrayed from Microchip, till now. Now there is the new PICKIT3 wich should enable the debugging on ICD port... I have this board and it’s good.

After a very slow starting in the PIC32 area, now MikroElektronika seems to be more interested in the 32 bit family from Microchip. The hope is to see a version of their compilers coming out soon. Expecially the BASIC compiler would be a good point to attract more hobbists on PIC32 than now... very interesting…
