The PICDEM LCD 2 Demonstration Board (DM163030) shows the main features of Microchip’s 28, 40, 64 and 80-pin LCD Flash PIC microcontrollers including the LCD voltage booster and contrast controller. It is populated with the PIC18F87J90. A sample LCD glass display is included for custom prototyping. The glass features 7-segment displays, wipers, thermometers, star bursts, and other common icons.
Some of the applications included are: a voltmeter, which measures the voltage of the on board potentiometer and displays a voltage between 0.00V and 3.30V on the LCD, a thermometer that measures the voltage of the thermistor and continuously displays the temperature in both Celsius and Fahrenheit. The Timer/Clock function showing hours:minutes:seconds with a moving second hand, using on board 32 kHz watch crystal. Also, when using the PIC18F87J90 family of devices the LCD module can be configured as a charge pump and software contrast control is activated.
