\"\"Introducing Digilent’s newest addition to the Basys family! The Basys MX3<\/a> is a true MCU trainer board designed from the ground up around the teaching experience. We’re especially excited about this board as it was born out of direct feedback from our customers!<\/p>\n

Time and time again, we heard from instructors that despite the number of microcontroller boards out there, it still feels like the majority of them are made as a vehicle for the silicon rather than a true tool for teaching and learning embedded systems. We heard that message and decided to build a board that would solve this problem. Even down to the clarity of the silk screen, we thought long and hard about the little details that would make a difference to students and instructors.<\/p>\n

Basys MX3 features the PIC32MX370<\/a> from Microchip and was designed to be used with the MPLAB X IDE<\/a>. As shown in the above image, we’ve included an exhaustive set of peripherals that were chosen to give students exposure to a wide range of embedded systems related concepts, while also providing instructors with flexibility in curriculum design.<\/p>\n
