Firmware (HEX) file and documents for the Micromite Mk.2 and Micromite Plus
Firmware, user manuals, change log and sample C functions for the Micromite Mk.2 and Micromite Plus (v5.05.05).
The regular Micromite HEX file will work on the 28-pin DIP package chip (PIC32MX170F256B) and the 44-pin SMD chip (PIC32MX170F256D).
It's also suitable for the MicroMite LCD BackPack including V2 and V3. See the articles in the January 2015, February 2016 and August 2019 issues for more details.
The Micromite Plus HEX file will work on the 64-pin and 100-pin TQFP package chips (PIC32MX470F512H/L).

CP2102-based USB/TTL serial converter with 5-pin header and 30cm jumper cable
A small USB/serial converter module which plugs straight into a USB port and provides a standard 5-pin header interface with 5V, 3.3V, GND and TTL (3.3V) serial TX/RX pins. Suitable for direct connection to any of the Maximite or Micromite projects.
Modern operating systems like Windows 10 should not require any drivers to use this device - plug it in and it should be recognised and ready to use straight away.
The 5-way cable supplied has female "Dupont" headers on both ends, which plug into standard pin headers. It can be used to connect the adaptor to a Micromite LCD BackPack.
We have only tested this adaptor in Windows; it should work with Linux and Mac OSX.

PIC32MX170F256B-50I/SP programmed for the Micromite Mk2 plus capacitor
A 32-bit PIC microcontroller in 28-pin DIP programmed as the Micromite Mk2. Also includes a through-hole Tantalum capacitor to use for its internal regulator - with sufficient capacitance and voltage rating for the job, adn batch tested to have suitably low ESR.
Chips are now programmed with the revised v5.05.03 software (or higher). Note that the capacitor supplied may be a Kemet Solid Molded Tantalum type, in which case the positive lead is indicated by the rounded edge on the case and a dot marking on the top.
