Microchip Get Launched

by Microchip

A global electronics design program to fund, manufacture, and ship amazing products

Featured Participants

Take a look at the current (and upcoming) participants in the Microchip Get Launched 2019 competition! These campaigns demonstrate the broad range of projects that Microchip components can support.

Nixie Tap

This minimalist Wi-Fi clock uses four beautiful IN-12B socketed Nixie Tubes driven by an on-board Microchip HV5812WG-G vacuum fluorescent display driver. This live campaign is ending soon!

StereoPi

StereoPi invites you to enter the world of stereoscopic video with their open source camera based on Raspberry Pi. It wouldn’t be possible without help from the LAN9513 Microchip USB Interface IC.

Tinusaur

Tinusaur OLED Display

The super fast display library that accompanies the Tinusaur OLED Display Kit would not be as smooth without the backing of the ATtiny85 microcontroller. In fact, the whole Tinusaur platform is focused on Microchip’s microcontrollers!

Coming Soon

Giant Board

Programmable USB Hub

Giant Board, Programable USB Hub, Robo HAT MM1 and more…
