Hi,
Tools board must be CHIPKIT MAX32
Tools serial port must be on COM3.
If COM3 is not present, then the driver must be reinstalled.

I received my chipkitmax32 this day, thank you and thank you more for video and for the explanation, I try to follow your example but as I load the Blink Without Delay it displays the following message:
Binary sketch size: 6660 bytes (of a 512,000 byte maximum)
avrdude: stk500v2_getsync (): Can not Communicate with device: resp = 0x01
avrdude: stk500v2_command (): unknown status 0xC8
avrdude: stk500v2_command (): unknown status 0xC8
avrdude: stk500v2_program_enable (): can not get connection status
avrdude: initialization failed, rc =- 1
Double check connections and try again, or use-F to override
this check.
avrdude: stk500v2_command (): unknown status 0x01
avrdude: stk500v2_disable (): failed to leave programming mode
can you give me what's the problem
thank you.

I just received the Chipkit an hour back and it works fine.
The video intro was very helpful to getting started with the Arduino MPIDE.
Thanks Mr.Brom.

It really is a good introduction!!
Never use any of the Arduino platform, and two days ago received a Chipkit Max32 board from Microchip Direct .
I do not understand where to download the IDE that shows Brom in his video,or how to use it either.
Where I can get information to start using it without problems?
