Win a graphic display dev board from Microchip

12 August 2015 News

A development board for graphic displays, based on technologies from Microchip, is up for grabs to a lucky Dataweek reader.

The DM240312 is a low-cost platform to evaluate the features and performance of the PIC24FJ256DA210 microcontroller (MCU) with integrated graphics, mTouch and USB. It comes with a Graphics Display Truly 3.2, 240x320-pixel board (AC164127-4) in order to complete the two-board setup. Its Microchip display connector V1 allows developers to match it with a selection of 3,2” and 4,3” TFT displays, or the graphics prototype board available from Microchip.

Further features of the development board include capacitive touch pads and switches, USB connectors (embedded host/device/OTG), PICtail Plus Modular expansion slot, RS-232 serial port and associated hardware, and debug connectors supporting MPLAB ICD-3, MPLAB REAL ICE and MPLAB PICkit-3.

Visit www.microchip-comps.com/dataweek-pic24da210 to submit your entry and stand a chance to win.
