is it possible to make a pic32 starter kit ?

hi ,
is it possible to make a pic32 starter kit by own ?
i bought one and in the pdf files there is the schematic of it , but i need the hex file of the pic which is on the board!

Quick answer yes
only problem the front end drivers ie. the exe files to program the piv32 & debug, The sample files are not down loadable from Microchip site, only manuals & data sheets(pdf) no soruce zip files

1. U1. a 4550 is a ICSP like a pickit2 you could read the chip via J3. (can't see Microchip protecting code)Front end will allow update and replacement of a corrupt bootloader.
2. to program the pic32 RC0 puts it in program mode.
3. RB0 & RB1 supply Data & Clock

you would need the data sheet for the pic32 to see how a bootloader is used.

I think most people would just use a sample board.

i have got a sample board but the reason that i want to build my own is :
i have no connector or board for expansion connector , and i cant use rs232 , adc , dac , .... . i can just load the game and see the leds blink!

Any here have success on build a PIC32 board? My PicKit2 cant detect my board, I using a PIC32MX795...

Take a look here http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1406&dDocName=en027813
As you can see your Pickit 2 do not support your device. You have to get a PICKIT 3 in order to program your chip (I think).

Thanks!
I found there is a PK2DeviceFile.dat (pk2cmd) editor here:
http://www.microchip.com/forums/m473925-print.aspx

And need add it to .dat file:

First duplicate item PIC32MX460F512L from the parts list then change to these
settings:

PartName: PIC32MX795F512H
DeviceID: 0x0000E000
ProgramMem: 0x00020BFC

For PIC32MX795F512L

PartName: PIC32MX795F512L
DeviceID: 0x00007000
ProgramMem: 0x00020BFC

This works now...

I made my own PIC32 kit! with a PIC32MX795 sample and a TQFP 100 adapter, spent about U$ 1.50 ! 





I using USB HID Bootloader from UBW32 and Pinguino32X (svn restrict version), compiler is C32 all Linux env.

wow !!

where did you get a TQFP 100 adapter for $1.50.

they seem to be $15.0 here in the UK

The link in the post referencing the $1.50 price links in turn to www.futurlec.com which is where to order them

@ Anunakin

many thanks, I had assumed that the link was just for the software.

I just ordered a selection of adapter pcb's, $39.
