The Explorer 16/32
Development Kit is a flexible, convenient and ready to start development,
demonstration and testing platform for 16-bit PIC24 MCUs, dsPIC® DSCs
and 32-bit PIC32 MCUs from Microchip Technology. It features all the necessary
hardware to begin developing and debugging a complete embedded application. The
board accepts Processor Plug-In Modules (PIM) designed for the Explorer 16 or
Explorer 16/32 development board for easy device swapping. In addition to the
hardware features provided by the board, hardware expansion is possible through
the use of PICtail™ Plus daughter cards and mikroBUS™ accessory boards. Coupled
with the integrated PICkit™-On-Board (PKOB), MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger or
MPLAB REAL ICE™ real-time emulation and debug facilities enable faster
evaluation and prototyping of application.
The development kit comes with Explorer 16/32 main development board,
PIC24FJ1024GB610 PIM (MA240023), USB A to
micro-B cable, and USB A to Type-C Cable. For out of the box experience,
Explorer 16/32 Development Kit is the right choice that comes with all the
necessary components to get started with the evaluation and prototyping right
away!

Backwards Compatibility
Explorer 16/32 Development Board is completely backwards compatible with the
Classic Explorer 16 Development Board (DM240001 and DM240002) and its
associated ecosystem that include:
- Process or Plug-In Modules (PIMs)
- PICtail Plus Daughter Boards
- Code Examples, Prototypes and Software Libraries
developed on Classic Explorer 16 Development Board
Use all of existing codes, libraries, prototypes, PIMs and the PICtail Plus
daughter cards interfaced via side PICtail Plus connector directly. Re-use the
PICtail Plus daughter cards interfaced via vertical PICtail Plus connector
using additional PICtail
Plus Expansion Board (AC240100)
