PINGUINO-MX220 ULTRA LOW COST 32 BIT PINGUINO MAPLE ARDUINO LIKE DEVELOPMENT BOARD
ARDUINO-UNO like board with PIC32MX220F032D.
Generally this board outperform ARDUINO-UNO as hardware capabilities as you can see from the table below:
| PIC32-PINGUINO-MX220 | ARDUINO-UNO | |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | 32 bit | 8 bit |
| CLOCK | 40 MHz | 20 MHz |
| FLASH | 32 KB | 32 KB |
| RAM | 8 KB | 1 KB |
| USB | YES | NO* |
| LOW PWR | YES** | NO |
| GPIO MAX | 40 MHz | 5 MHz |
| ADC | 1.1 MSPS | 15 KSPS |
| DMA | YES 4 CH | NO |
| UEXT | YES | NO |
* require additional chip FT232 or ATMega with USB
** hardware allow power down to 10 uA operation for handheld battery apps
** hardware allow power down to 10 uA operation for handheld battery apps
The only Pinguino shortcoming compared with Arduino is the smaller community and the less projects available ready to use.
