Great news for PIC microcontroller lover. CIKU is for you.

Named after a type of tropical fruit, sweet and brown in color. Normally known as  “sapodilla“, they call it “CIKU” in Malaysia.

CIKU is PIC18F4550 based Arduino form factor starter kit for the hobbyist, student, developer or any maker that likes to use PIC microcontroller and want to utilize Arduino shield. We acknowledge and appreciate the ease of hardware interface provided by hundreds of Arduino shield out there. I am sure PIC lover would like to utilize these shields, and with CIKU, you will have it.

CIKU is born from the experiences of using Arduino and feedback we gather from SK40C users. Ciku comes with PIC18F4550 pre-programmed with Microchip USB HID Bootloader and with this, loading program will only require a USB Mini-B cable, no extra programmer is needed. This will lower the cost needed to get started. It reserves the PICkit2/3 6-way ICSP pads for those that like to use ICD or PICkit2/3 to load the program.

To utilize Arduino shield, CIKU has been designed based on the Arduino form factor, the side female headers, pin assignments, 5V, 3.3V, Reset and GND are compatible with Arduino UNO. Furthermore, to provide the feel of Arduino environment, we are developing a library for Ciku with MPLAB X IDE and XC8 Compiler (both are free IDE and compiler from Microchip).

You will be able to use the pinMode(1, OUTPUT) and analogRead(A1) as in Arduino IDE. It is not 100% software compatible, we are trying to minimize the transition effort needed. And it is open source, we welcome and invite everyone that love CIKU to help and contribute to library development, and share it, any form of feedbacks are more than welcome.
