MICROCHIP EV58G97A Development Board, Curiosity Nano Explorer, Experiment with Microcontroller Peripherals

EV58G97A is a Curiosity Nano Explorer errata board. The Curiosity Nano Explorer lives up to its name by providing extensive on-board features that allow users to explore and experiment with the MCU peripherals of their Curiosity Nano board. It also serves as an ideal platform to become familiar with Microchip's software offerings, including MCC Melody. It has a wide selection of I/P and O/P options such as INPUTS include touch (and mechanical) buttons, potentiometer, joystick, temperature sensor, proximity sensor, an ambient light sensor, microphone and OUTPUTS include LEDs (simple yellow, standard RGB, and WS2812B RGB), an OLED display, and speaker. An I2C Bus with eight clients, an SPI Bus with three clients, and a UART connection provide solid support for serial communications. Touch controller with three touch buttons and a separate touch button for use with MCUs featuring a touch peripheral. Power monitoring by the PAC1944 enables the measurement of various power domains.
