We started pcb development and we want to keep low cost (2 layers) and ease of assembly.
So we spoke once again with Microchip marketing and we decided to use 44pins QFP instead of Qfn. Yes 4mm bigger but easier to solder (0.8mm pitch)
We also decided to avoid...
According to our roadmap we just released the schematic of the PICUS Wi-Fi module
It’s based on Microchip PIC 24F 44Pin Qfn processor and we have the ZeroG Wireless (just acquired by Microchip) Wi-Fi SPI Low cost module with integrated antenna.The module...
openPICUS project officially takes off
It happened this January when we started hard talking about wireless and embedded electronics tasting some good wine at Campo de’ Fiori in Rome. The main point was a lack of an easy to program module which runs not...
PICUS is a great name (we think) for our open Hardware module.
Embedded in the name we have:PIC (Microchip)US (the project is Open from the beginning!)
However there is the official meaning (from Roman mythology):Picus was the first king of Latium (Rome’s...
Rome, spring is here! 18°C outside and the temptation to go out in Villa Borghese park is too strong to rexist!
However we need to decide which display size to integrate on the PICUS evalNest board, we have 2 choice: LCD 2*16 or LCD 4*20 chars
Display will be...
Here’s the PICUS module (Bluetooth or WI-FI will be the same pinout and dimensions) What do you think? Missing something?
Here we are, the first post.
openPICUS project is born to let developers (hardware and software) create their advanced wireless sensor applications even without any hardware experience. We’d like to share and to create this platform based on a community to...
