New year comming… New devices… New Projects
The of the year is coming, and a lot of ideas bring to my head. During this year I change my work line from Microchip PIC 18F Family MCUs (like PIC18LF2520, PIC18LF2620 and PIC18LF14K50) to PIC24F Family (PIC24FJ32GA002, PIC24FJ64GA002, PIC24FJ256GB106). It’s a lot easer work on 16bit cores. My list of benefits:
- More portable code;
- Better code optimization;
- Free compiler, without restrictions;
- PIC24F Family is pin compatible with other family devices, so if you need more flash only you need is change the MCU;
2010 was the year of Arduino for most hobbyists. I’ve to confess that I don’t like much Arduino, but I’ve some Arduino’s and some shields too. I don’t understand very well what happens, but I’m not very comfortably with libraries. I think that is because Arduino try to be “much” friendly to non-electronic people. That’s “friendly” you can see on libraries: SD card access, OLED access, RFID access, all stuf very very very easy and directly, but don’t made by you. I don’t like to “rediscover the wheel”, but I like some control about what happen.
But even with this opinion, I’ve a project with Arduino for next year.
In this week I receive a lot of new devices, like:
- new OLEDs (SSD1339 controller, very smart, with graphic accelerated functions);
- new TFT LCDs (SSD1289 controller, not so smart);
- new 16bits MCUs (PIC24HJ64GP502, PIC24HJ128GP502 and PIC24FJ64GA102);
- new 32bits MCUS (ARM STM32);
I’ve doing great goals in this projects, but all of them still very young yet. But see the photos above and conclude that they are very nice:
TFT LCD SSD1289 Controller - some problems with pixel functions yet.
128x128 OLED Board from SparkFun (with SSD1339 Controller) - 65k colors ok, but 262k colors tsc tsc... little bit hard...
MicroStick from Microchip - Learning PIC24H MCUs next year
Olá!
Seu site está ficando cada vez mais bonito! Parabéns!
Estou aos poucos preenchendo o meu com conteúdo (a parte mais difícil! rs).
Desejo a vc um ótimo 2011 com muitos projetos!

How did you connect this lcd to the arduino without a shield? can you let me know the schematic? (for ssd1289)

Hi Mike.
You can download the datasheet at: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3935083/Electronic/SSD1289_1_3.pdf
Enjoy.

Hi Forrequi,
Can I ask you which PIC you used for this project and what complier you used?
Thanks,
Guido from Argentina.

I am with a tft 3.2 + sd1289 and i can turn on (turn black), but i can’t set a pixel !!!! Do you have any tips to me? thanks!!!

Oi Kairo. O código que possuo ficou com o desenvolvimento incompleto, mas posso enviar para você. Estou viajando a trabalho no momento e assim que estiver em casa eu o envio. Ok?

Muito obrigado, ja testei todos os pinos e não é falha de hardware, deve ser alguma configuração besta.
Apos o comando do registrador 11 ele fica preto, logo, aparentemente, esta funcionando os comandos.
Obrigado pela ajuda!!!
