DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
A fast and cost-effective way of evaluating the system
specification of an application is through the use of
existing development tools. Microchip has several
development tools supporting graphics design. Two
important tools that can be used for graphics
development are:
• Graphics LCD Controller PICtail™ Plus SSD1926
Board (AC164127-5), which is an add-on board to
the Microchip’s generic development board for
16-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers, such as the
Explorer 16 board and PIC32 starter kits.
• PIC24FJ256DA210 Development Board
(DM240312), which is a stand-alone board.
Both the boards require add-on display modules which
are available with displays of various sizes. User-
specific display panels can be used with the help of a
display prototype board. Figure 18, Figure 19, Figure 20
and Figure 21 illustrate these development tools. For the
