chipKIT® Lenny. Not just another Arduino.
Combining the power of a PIC32® MIPS® microcontroller, the flexibility of a fully supported native USB 2.0 interface, and maximum Arduino compatibility, the chipKIT ® Lenny is not just another Arduino clone.
Maximum Compatibility
Thanks to the advanced PIC32® bus matrix the chipKIT® Lenny boasts perfect pin function compatibility with existing Arduino hardware.
Native USB
A fully supported native USB 2.0 interface means you have the freedom to create whatever kind of peripheral device you like. An advanced extensible USB stack gives you the ability to combine many different protocols and profiles or even create new ones.
Unparalleled Support
Because we create both the hardware and the software, and both are fully open source, you get the peace of mind of unparalleled support from both us and the community as a whole.
