RADIX ADVANCE Specifications
The Radix Advance takes your development projects from the humble, yet effective 8-BIT to the more advanced PIC32A family. These new devices offer enhanced features over their 8-bit siblings.
The Radix Advance is currently in development, and the specifications listed below are preliminary and subject to change.
RADIX ADVANCE (VADO)
The RADIX ADVANCE family offers two devices from the PIC32A family. The PCBs are in the same form factor as the Radix Signum and Radix Echo. For a list of the specific features, see the topic: RADIX ADVANCE PCB Features๏ปฟ.
PIC32A Devices in the Range
