Overview
The PIC32 Pinguino is a 32-bit development board combining the familiar Arduino form factor with the more capable Microchip PIC32MX440F256H processor. Running at 80MHz with 256KB of flash and 32KB of RAM, it offers significantly more computational power than classic 8-bit AVR-based Arduino boards while maintaining shield compatibility.
A key differentiator is its wide input voltage range of 9–30V DC via a built-in DC/DC switching converter, making it well-suited for industrial and vehicular applications. It also includes a built-in lithium-ion/polymer battery charger with a JST connector, a Mini-B USB port for programming, and a UEXT connector for peripheral expansion.
The board targets the industrial temperature range of −25°C to +85°C, and all components are kept lower than the connectors to allow Arduino shields to fit flush. The Pinguino IDE and toolchain supports C/C++ development for PIC32 targets, with schematics and firmware available on the community website.
