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.

Scrolling Banner: In this mode, the LCD will scroll text, displaying the features of Singapore - 65-6334-8870 Taiwan - Hsin Chu - 886-3-5778-366 the device on the board. Pressing Switches, S3 or S4, will increase or decrease Taiwan - Kaohsiung - 886-7-213-7830 the speed of the scroll and Switch S1 or S2 will take the code to the voltmeter. Taiwan - Taipei - 886-2-2500-6610 2. Voltmeter: This mode uses the A/D module to measure the voltage of the R20 Thailand - Bangkok - 66-2-694-1351 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.
