The most powerful TFT screen around.

The most powerful TFT screen around.
Yes, that’s right.
A power ful TFT screen.
That’s quite a combination, .
And that’s not all.
And an SD card slot .
And two USB interface s.
And… and.
and… The list goes on. It has to be said, this is quite an impressive bit of kit.
If you are looking to build a user interface that is second to none then this is the development board for you.
512kB RAM.
2MB Flash .
320×480 3.5″ TFT Screen.
Resistive Touch Panel .
1.29W Class D Power Amplifier.
Micro SD Card Slot.
Native USB Interface.
And it all comes wrapped in a 3D printed mounting bracket to keep it all safe and make it really easy to build into a project.
To give you an idea of how all that fits together here’s a little video tour: The PIC32MZ chip really shines when connected with this size of display.
It has enough memory built in to hold an entire “framebuffer” copy of the display data.
That means you can rapidly manipulate what is being shown on the screen in the background without affecting the display itself – and then display the results in one operation, making for really smooth, flicker free display updates.
And getting that information to the screen itself is fast as well.
So the screen appears as a simple pair of memory addresses to the CPU making for really really fast and simple access.
DMA can rapidly copy the display data to the screen in the background leaving the CPU free to pursue other goals. For example, here is a 3D spinning cube with lighting, .
Impressive, yes.
When it comes to the audio the PIC32MZ is powerful enough to even decode MP3 files on the fly from the SD card.
The 1.29W built in amplifier is perfectly adequate for driving some small embedded speakers within your project, but the combined headphone and line out jack (3.5mm) is perfect for connecting to a more powerful amplifier should the need arise.
So if you’d like to get your teeth into one of these brilliant boards head over to Majenko Technologies and grab one.
