ChipKit uC32

oric_dan(333):
Just one question, did you find a way to do a verbose build with mpide, so you could watch the
downlond in progress?

Just press when you build the sketh.
(It works the same as the pre Arduino 1.x IDE)

Again, thanks for your reply. I have a rather large program for my robot on the Duemilanove
where I ran out of program/RAM space that I want to transfer to a larger cpu.

Not just lots of extra room, but also much faster and no more having to deal with
with Harvard architecture issues.
Just declare things const and you get them in flash and have direct access to them
with pointers, like you would expect in C.

If all you need is more resources and don't need the extra speed or shield capability,
then Teensy ++ 2.0 is a really nice solution and might get you back up and running
even quicker since it is AVR and Paul has ported many of the AVR based libraries to his
boards.

Another cost effective option for more speed and resources if you don't need
shields and can live with 3v i/o is the Teensy 3 board.
