Preface
The PIC-BLE Development Board is a small and easily
expandable demonstration and development platform for Bluetooth® Low
Energy (BLE) solutions based on the PIC® microcontroller architecture. It is designed to demonstrate that the design
of a typical BLE application can be simplified by partitioning the task into three blocks:
- Smart – represented by the PIC16LF18456 microcontroller
- Secure – represented by the ATECC608A secure element
- Connected – represented by the RN4870 BLE module
- The on-board debugger (PKoB nano) supplies full programming and debugging support through Microchip MPLAB® X IDE. It also provides access to a serial port interface (serial to USB bridge) and one logic analyzer channel (debug GPIO).
- A mikroBUS™ socket enables the ability to expand the board capabilities with the selection from 450+ sensors and actuators options offered by MikroElektronika (www.mikroe.com) via a growing portfolio of Click board™.
