Microchip announced a new addition to its PIC12/16LF155X 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) family with the PIC16LF1554 and PIC16LF1559 (PIC16LF1554/9) devices. The PIC16LF1554/9 includes two independent 10-bit 100K samples per second Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC) with hardware Capacitive Voltage Divider (CVD) support for capacitive-touch sensing. This unique ADC configuration enables more efficient sensor acquisition and assists with advanced touch-sensing techniques for extremely noisy environments, low-power applications, matrix keypads and water-resistant designs.

I also have and have heavily used a BASIC Stamp BS2p40, and with these same displays I easily made this face once before on the stamp. It's very easy there. I had to learn more for this, but so far, the performance is much better. I errored so many times in the making of this simple face.
example error:
bsf porta, 1 ;clock 4017 high
bcf porta, 0 ;clock 4017 low
In the stamp you throw pins high and low with 1 and 0, and I forgot I should be targeting a pin # here, and that bsf and bcf (bit set and clear) were doing the high/low for me. When I realized, I changed both to 0, and the 4017 clocking finally worked.
I made many more dumb mistakes like that, costing me several hours of debugging, but it's all part of the learning.
The PIC32 Cap Touch Eval Board was added to Microchip Technology's enhanced mTouch™ Cap Touch Evaluation Kit, to enbable development with the 32-bit PIC32 microcontroller family. The kit comes equipped with capacitive touch-sensing keys and sliders, which allows designers to evaluate this interface in their applications using the Windows® OS-based mTouch Diagnostic Tool. This software tool provides an easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI) for developing cap-touch buttons and sliders, and is included in the free MPLAB® Integrated Development Environment. The additional software libraries, source code and other support materials that come with the board further shorten development cycles and reduce design costs.
When combined with its other included boards, the enhanced mTouch Cap Touch Evaluation Kit allows designers to evaluate all of Microchip’s 8-, 16- and 32-bit microcontrollers, providing a scalable capacitive touch sensing development platform for a wide range of design needs.
The enhanced mTouch Cap Touch Evaluation Kit (part # DM183026-2, $99.95) is available today at www.microchip.com/get/F3RD.
Microchip Technology's PIC12F617 8-bit microcontroller features 3.5 kB self-programmable Flash program memory and enables higher-performing designs in a variety of markets. The MCU is available in 8-pin PDIP, SOIC, MSOP and 3 mm x 3 mm DFN packages, for $0.56 each, in 10,000-unit quantities. Samples can be ordered today, at www.microchip.com/get/26LF. The MCUcan be purchased today at microchipDIRECT (http://www.microchip.com/get/563P). For further information, contact any Microchip sales representative or authorized worldwide distributor, or visit Microchip’s Web site at www.microchip.com/get/9X5D.
Microchip’s Low-Cost Controllerless Graphics PICtail™ Plus Daughter Board (Part # AC164144) enables the development of graphics applications without an external graphics controller.

Uses the Microchip MCP3424 ADC. Various build options are possible, including single-ended and/or double-ended inputs to the ADC, separate analogue voltage supply (via DC-DC converter and linear regulator). Two open-drain outputs enable switching of fans, relays etc. There are connectors for the buffered I2C interface and a 1-wire interface.
I have several intended uses for these PCBs, including a Raspberry Pi magnetometer and a temperature sensor/fan controller board for an auroral camera.

Microchip Technology's low pin-count 16-bit eXtreme Low Power (XLP) PIC24F32KA304 MCUs feature on-chip 12-bit ADC, EEPROM, intelligent mTouchâ„¢ capacitive sensing, and the capability to run from a 5V supply. The MCUs feature extremely low sleep currents down to 20 nA, for which all XLP PIC MCUs are known.
One of the commonly asked questions when we move to the bigger and powerful 16-bit microcontroller is do we really need it? As the 8-bit microcontroller is already suite almost all of our needs from a simple blinking LED to more sophisticated embedded application such as robotics

A youth volunteer uses a microchip reader to see if this endangered Wyoming toad came from a breeding facility.
Adult captive-reared toads that are 20 grams or more are micro chipped prior to release. Microchips are similar to the those that are placed in domestic animals - except they are much smaller in size. This toad was found at Mortenson NWR and had been released on May 30, 2018 as part of Wyoming toad recovery effort.
