PIC32MX1xx & PIC32MX2xx Getting Started (under destruction)

Microchip PIC32MX1xx/2xx: This is about getting started with Microchip Technology's PIC32 32-bit microcontroller family. Microchip purchased Atmel awhile back and offers 32-bit microcontrollers from Atmel's  AVR32 and ARM families as well as Microchip's own MIPS4000-based 32-bit PIC32  families.  At the mid-low end of the PIC32 world is the PIC32MX1xx and 2xx series... Here are some high points: Program Flash PIC32MX270F256B has 256kB flash PIC32MX250F128B has 128kB flash Data RAM: PIC32MX270F256B has 64kB RAM PIC32MX250F128B has 32kB RAM 40MHz and 50MHz versions USB (incl. "USB-on-the-Go") Single-cycle 32x16-bit multiply; 2 cycle 32x32-bit multiply 2, SPI/I2S   ( Great for Codec interface for audio or radio projects ) 2, I2C 2, UART GPIO w/ some remappable pins Timers aplenty PKGs: SSOP28, SOIC28, SPDIP28, VTLA36, VTLA44, QFN44, & TQFP44 Minimal Systems :   "Minimal systems" are the simplest and therefore probably the
