Introducing the LCD Explorer Demonstration Board

Overview
The LCD Explorer Demonstration Board is the latest 8-Common LCD Board for evaluation of the PIC24F and PIC18F LCD devices. The board comes with a PIC24FJ128GA310 PIM and has a PICtail Plus connector to showcase the PICtail Plus with the LCD microcontroller. Future devices with the 8-Common and 1/3 biasing will be supported on this demonstration board.

Eight Common LCD glass Supports 1/3 biasing with: - External resistor ladder - Internal resistor ladder - Charge pump biasing with capacitor - Supports software as well as hardware contrast control - Hardware RTCC support - VBAT operation during VDD loss, RTCC can run on VBAT without VDD - Analog pot to display the A/D capability - Temperature sensor to display temperature using A/D - PICtail Plus expansion connector for easy system evaluation with the PICtail Plus daughter cards(1) CTMU switch to showcase touch sensing Four switches implemented for software demonstration Three ways to power the board: Using the 9V power supply Through a USB connector Using two AAA batteries (not recommended for PICtail Plus) Connector for VBAT current measurement

Note 1: Only the upper slot can be used for the PICtail Plus.

Demonstration Software Operation

1. Scrolling Banner: In this mode, the LCD will scroll text, displaying the features of the device on the board. Pressing Switches, S3 or S4, will increase or decrease the speed of the scroll and Switch S1 or S2 will take the code to the voltmeter. 2. Voltmeter: This mode uses the A/D module to measure the voltage of the R20 pot through the analog channel. A voltage between 0.00V and VDD is displayed on the LCD using the LCD module. The voltage is continually updated until the mode is exited by pressing either S1 or S2 (which will go to Mode 4 or Mode 2). 3. Thermometer: This mode uses the A/D module to measure the temperature using TC1047AVNBTR, and converts to temperature, both in Celsius and Fahrenheit. The temperature is displayed on the LCD using the LCD module. Temperature is continually updated until the mode is exited by pressing either S1 or S2. 4. Clock: In this mode, the hardware RTCC runs and displays the time on the LCD screen until the mode is exited by pressing either S1 or S2. 5. Software Contrast: This mode will showcase the software contrast control and will display the variation by changing the bias levels through software. The mode is exited by pressing either the S1 or S2 switch. The software, documentation, firmware and other material for this demo can be downloaded from: http://www.microchip.com/LCDExplorer
