• Contestant Resource CD

This CD contains a wealth of tools, libraries and educational resources to create an outstanding submission in minimal time.  This CD is a must even if your intention is only to evaluate Microchip’s 16-bit product lines.  It contains:

• A fully enabled C compiler. Full features are retained for the duration of the Contest (through October).  This beats buying one for $895!

• Microchip’s complete MPLAB Integrated Development

• Communication and File Management Stacks

• Math and DSP Libraries

• Links to downloadable advanced libraries (Software Modems, Speech Compression, much more - all free for you to use in the contest)

• Application Notes and code examples

• FilterLab and DSP visualization tools

• Self-education to ramp your learning on Microchip’s 16-bit products

• Data sheets and reference manuals for all the 16-bit parts

• Much more

• Coupons for Steep discounts on development tools.  Now you can be set up with a full development environment including programmer, debugger, development board, C compiler, full access to libraries for under 100 dollars.  If you program with Microchip’s 8- or 16-bit Microcontrollers or dsPIC Digital Signal Controllers, you probably already have the tools you need but you may want to check out the coupons anyway.

Submission Deadline: October 16, 2007
