chipKIT Max32

That is possible to write PORTB = 0b00010010; but many beginner user not know RB0 is which pin, RB1 is which pin, RB2 is which pin.

Betul tu!

There are PORTBSET, PORTBCLR and PORTBTG (don't remember how to spell it) too. They are very convenient if you happen to manipulate bits as quick as possible.

That's true. I see the little in the PIC32 datasheet, but not have many times to play around yet,

TQ very much..
One more question. If I'm using MPLAB and able to generate hex file, can I load this hex file to ChipKIT Max32 through MPIDE?

No

Not that straight forward Because chipKIT itself uses bootloader, and the bootloader firmware on PIC32 will be take some place in the program memory. Loading new code which might overlap with this bootloader will carsh the bootloader process and cause it to stop working....

Except you find out where is the bootloader being put and use linker on MPLAB IDE to reserve that location.

Sir,
1. How to set up USB Communication through MP IDE For example that provided, which one I can refer for sending data between PIC to USB

2. how to make coding to send data 10 bit of LEDs

Thank a lot

If you need to upload hex file from MPLAB X-IDE (with XC32), you have to wipe out the bootloader, and use PICKit 3 with it. Otherwise, you have to use the chipkit compiler with it.

The PIC32 is not totally that difficult, with the datasheet. Most of the registers are very straight-forward and easy to manipulate.

That's the major problem, those that uses chipKIT or Arduino don want to refer datasheet

PIC32 is considered simple, if you checked the datasheet. Microchip is very generous about giving a lot of examples in their datasheets. It isn't too tedious because they explained each things inside word by word.

On the other hand, the STM32 and the Atmel SAM (ARM Cortex m3 in Arduino Due) series are not really forgiving. The ports itself in these microcontrollers are very hard to manipulate and they are never been straightforward.
