chipKIT Max32 Jumper Settings
The chipKIT™ Development Platforms use a Microchip PIC32 Microcontroller. These are 32-bit
products that bring unprecedented features to the Arduino™ community. In order to maintain
compatibility with existing hardware/software while maintaining user accessibility to these
advanced features, additional jumpers and row headers are provided. This document describes the
functionality of the jumpers listed in figure 1.

JP1 POWER SELECT: Used to connect/bypass on-board 5V regulator when using a
power supply connected to J2
J4 supply is regulated (i.e. 5V will be
Note: A 3.3V on-board regulator will always be enabled regardless of JP1
settings to protect the PIC32 MCU
Not sure what this does? Play it safe and keep JP1 on the two right-most pins.
(i.e. J2 supply is regulated)
JP3/JP4 SPI SELECT: Used to configure the chipKIT™ as either a Master or Slave when
using the SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface). The chipKIT™ board can be
connected to another device or even another chipKIT™ through the SPI
connector (J13).
