Thank you for purchasing the MX PIC24F Educational Module. This module, when combined
with the MX Educational Target, provides a powerful, low- cost, development environment.
This environment is equally useful to beginners just starting out or to professionals who
require a rapid prototyping environment.
The MX PIC24F Educational Module includes an on - board circuit that is a licensed
programmer/debugger based on the PICkit3 from Microchip. This eliminates the need to
use an external debugger or programming device (PICkit3, ICD3, Real ICE, … ).
The MX Module series is a family of compact (65x50mm), robust, pre - engineered modules.
A complete rapid prototyping environment is easily obtained when considering the off - the -
shelf targets available from Stratford Digital and complete funct ional firmware projects.
These modules are pre - engineered to be ready to insert into your end application. Unlike
most rapid prototyping system, engineering details like ESD, signal and power integrity, and
minimal power consumption are already designed i n .
Each module in the MX Series conforms to this specification to allow for maximum inter-
changing between the modules. The mating board (called a target) will be able to accept
any module that conforms to this specification. This allows for the ability to scale
processing power, high - speed connectivity solutions, and memory resources by simply
switching out the module in the end application.
