Microchip Technology is leveraging the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to assist software developers and embedded engineers in writing and debugging code with the launch of its MPLAB^® AI Coding Assistant. A Microsoft^® Visual Studio^® Code (VS Code^®) extension, the free tool is based on Continue—the market’s leading open-source AI code assistant—and comes preconfigured with Microchip’s AI chatbot for real-time support.

Our SAMD21 Machine Learning Evaluation Toolkits, combined with the AVR128DA48 Curiosity Nano Evaluation Board, are specifically designed for developing and deploying machine learning models on time series sensor data signals, including inertial measurement unit (IMU) applications. This capability can be extended to other time series signals such as voltage, current, and temperature. By providing a platform for both 8-bit and 32-bit MCUs, users gain the flexibility to build machine learning models for a wide range of use cases, making the realization of ML models straightforward and efficient.
