Using a chipKIT Pro MX7, Sam from Digilent has created a Temperature-Sensing Coaster! As he mentions in the post, now you can hit that perfect "Goldilocks" temperature; coffee that is not too hot, not too cold, but just right!

If you've never checked out the chipKIT DP32 board, you now have a good reason. The truth of the matter is that the DP32 is a hidden gem in the collection of chipKIT boards because of its low price and its built-in breadboard.

To explore this little gem visit the tutorial on Instructables (or click the image above), and you'll find all you need to get

Whether it's for the quickly approaching Halloween, or for some other event, it's not too late to make ghoulish soundtracks or a creaky old door sounds with chipKIT.

Check out this Hackaday simple mini polyphonic synth demo for more info! Also, if you plan on using PWM, you'll be happy to know there's already a library written for that! Check out the PWMAudio Library for chipKIT on GitHub.

Congratulations to Guido Bonelli for his successful Dr Duino Kickstarter Project!

In this EETimes article, Max Maxfield says that chipKIT Uno32 is compatible with Dr. Duino, a very versatile shield whose purpose is to provide debugging capabilities. This little board is stackable, it comes with switches, LEDs, pots, and much more all conveniently accessible outside of the standard Arduino footprint (not hidden away underneath the stacks of

A little bit dated, but here's a neat little overview of the chipKIT ecosystem on Amelia's 100th Fish Fry podcast!
