UBMP4.3 is a simple, versatile, and inexpensive microcontroller development system designed for learning or teaching microcontroller programming and interfacing without breadboarding by using the parts on-board.

UBMP4.3 is a minor hardware revision of UBMP4.2 and is identical except for the addition of USB-C channel configuration resistors (allowing UBMP4.3 to be powered directly from with a USB2.0 type-C to type-C cable without a USB type-A to type-C adapter) and modified silkscreen button labels to match those on the compatible CHRP4 robotics development system.

UBMP4.3 is designed to be built into a variety of projects including a Simon-style memory game, room alarm, NeoPixel driver, TV remote control, and more, and is programmed using either Microchip’s MPLAB X IDE or the cloud-based MPLAB Xpress IDE. Its USB bootloader allows UBMP4.3 to be programmed in C using almost any device – including Chromebooks!

UBMP4.3 Hardware Features

• Microchip PIC16F1459 USB-capable microcontroller with 8k words of program FLASH (6k words free when using the USB bootloader), 128B of user FLASH, 1kB of RAM, 10-bit ADC, and a built-in temperature sensor
• 5 built-in pushbuttons
• 5 visible light LEDs
• 1 piezo beeper output
• optional 8-pin header for PORTC I/O pin expansion (great for servos, a SONAR module, NeoPixels, an LCD display, etc.)
• optional IR LED output for remote control transmitter applications (or a high-current transistor-driven output)
• optional IR demodulator for remote control decoding
• optional IR phototransistor or visible-light ambient light sensor for light sensing
• USB 2.0 type-C port for power and programming (now works using USB-C to USB-C cables in addition to USB-A to USB-C cables/adapters)
• 6-pin ICSP (In-Circuit Serial Programming) header for PICkit-4

CHRP4 is a versatile and inexpensive microcontroller development system designed to help anyone learn how to make simple line-following, obstacle sensing, or Sumo robots.

CHRP4 is a robot focused derivative of UBMP4, and was designed for learning or teaching PICmicro programming for robotic applications using either Microchip’s MPLAB X IDE or the cloud-based MPLAB Xpress IDE. Its USB bootloader allows CHRP4 to be programmed in C using almost any device – including Chromebooks!

CHRP4 Hardware Features

• Microchip PIC16F1459 USB-capable microcontroller with 8k words of program FLASH (6k words free when using the USB bootloader), 128B of user FLASH, 1kB of RAM, 10-bit ADC, and a built-in temperature sensor
• optional SN754410 (or L293D) quad half-H bridge motor driver to run two DC motors in forward and reverse
• optional LF50AB low drop-out regulator for 6-12V battery operation
• 5 built-in pushbuttons
• 5 visible light LEDs
• 1 piezo beeper output
• optional 4-pin header for PORTC I/O pin expansion (designed for an HC-SR04 ultrasonic SONAR module, but can also connect to servos, optical sensors, NeoPixels, etc.)
• optional IR LED and phototransistor circuits integrated on three mini, break-away boards (one designed for line following robots, two designed for general floor sensing)
• optional IR demodulator for remote control decoding
• USB 2.0 type-C port for power and programming
• 6-pin ICSP (In-Circuit Serial Programming) header for PICkit-4
