Would anyone happen to know what model LCD that is?

I’m working on my Senior project and I’d really like to be able to implement a nice color screen, but I can’t find one that interfaces with a PIC even remotely well.

The LCD was bought from one of our suppliers in ZA, you can make any LCD work from a PIC, as long as the driver is capable of addressing a pixel and changing it. Cheap/Nasty solution is the 132*132 LCD from a Nokia cellphone.

The Part number for this LCD is ET024008DHU from http://www.edtc.com/EDT/home/home.asp

JVRDesign

Interfacing a display is often just a matter of understanding how to write a piece of program to control it.

Crystalfontz has a 320×240 3.5″ with a relativly easy interface CFAF320240F-T for a bit over $50 – there’s even one with a touch screen interface for $54 that I’m doing a future project with – just get a sample of the AD7843 touch screen controller from Analog Devices.

I hate LCDs :( Why? Because I can never get the bloody things to work. I have one lying right here on my desk just laughing at me. I must be retarded or something :(

I’d imagine whey would cause a bottle neck…it’s not so easy to interface with all the curds in there.

Hm, might have to break out the PICkit and find a nice LCD.

Does this thing use the touch input for anything or just for display?

Cool
I wonder how he soldere that 0.5 mm pitch SMD lcd connector?
Is it possible to achieve that kind of results with a normal solder iron?

did i miss a link to a schematic?

Thanks, Good work !!!

Cool, I’ve been trying to get the LCD to work out of my broken down ipaq but I suck.

It looks, that Mike doesn’t want to publish schematic…

Daniel, do you plan to publish the frame on JVRDesign pages, too ?

Hey Daniel

What method do you use to make your PCBs? Heat transfer/photolithography/etc ? Very well done with the SMD stuff.

And a very lekker project overall ;) Good to see some ZA representation on HaD.

I don’t know if any are still listening. I’m not even sure if Mike was the original developer. But, Mike, if you are… Regarding the limitations of the SDCard. Note, you can probably run your PIC 24F SPI bus at 8MHz. After that you should as least use Class 4 SDCards. Higher class cards didn’t buy me anything except they cost more. I was probably able to get something like 140KBytes/Second that way (don’t know the real speed because of other things going on in the loop). Test different SDCards if you don’t get at least that through put. It stinks, but I am suspicious some manufactures rank their cards by the 4 bit bus performance and let the SPI interface go to pot come development time. I have some Kingstons which test fast (probably over the 4 bit bus) but are suspiciously slow talking to my 24F over the SPI bus.
