GLCD 128×64 pixels
You can place GLCD 128×64 display directly on the board and firm it in place securely using high-quality plastic distancer, specially designed for this purpose.
Left PORT Headers
We have provided additional PORT header on the left side of the board, so you can now access the desired microcontroller pins on the other side of the board too.
Touch Panel Controller
Touch panel controller with connector is provided for analog resistive touch panels attached to the GLCD 128×64 to form GLCD Touch screen.
GLCD/LCD Backlight
GLCD and LCD backlight can be driven with PWM signal from the microcontroller, or they can be turned on in full brightness.
I2C EEPROM
You can store 8×256 bytes of configuration data or other data into on-board 24AA01 Serial EEPROM with I2C interface.
ADC potentiometers
You can simulate analog inputs using two provided analog potentiometers which can be connected to each of the 10 supported microcontroller analog input pins.
GLCD contrast potentiometer
This potentiometer allows you to adjust the contrast level of the pixels on your GLCD 128×64 display.
LCD contrast potentiometer
This potentiometer allows you to adjust the contrast level of the pixels on your LCD 2×16 character display.
Piezo Buzzer
With piezo buzzer you can debug your applications, or have audio signalization feature. It can be connected to two digital output pins, one of which is the output of PWM module.
DS1820 Temp Sensor
Board supports Dallas DS1820 One-Wire digital temperature sensor. You can measure temperatures from -55C to +125C (-67F to +257F), with 0.5C accuracy.
LM35 Temp Sensor
The LM35 is a low-cost precision integrated-circuit analog temperature sensor. It can measure temeperatures from -55C to +150C with 0.25C accuracy at room temperatures.
PIC18F45K22
With just enough RAM and Flash, PIC18F45K22 microcontroller will provide you with enough power for most of your projects.
Crystal oscillator
8Mhz oscillator circuit that provides external clock is connected to microcontroller osc pins.
Oscilloscope GNDs
Three separate GND pins are available on the board for easier connection of GND reference for oscilloscope probes.
1×10 PROTO headers
We have also provided 1×10 soldering pads for further connectivity in each Input/Output group.
Push buttons
Push buttons in each Input/Output group enable you to have digital inputs on each port pin. Buttons are of high quality and have an exceptional and stable response.
PORT Headers
Two male IDC10 port headers are available in each Input/Output group, which is convenient for easier access to any PORT pin.
Tri-state DIP switches
Tri-state DIP switches are used to enable 4K7 pull-up or pull-down resistor on ony desired PORT pin.
SMD LEDs
Each Input/Output PORT group contains red SMD LEDs with low current consumption of only 1mA. Board contains total of 36 LEDs for PORT pins.
What is EasyPIC v7
EasyPIC v7 is the seventh generation of our famous PIC development board. It is the product of accumulated knowledge over the past 10 years, and it’s state of the art of design, functionality and quality. It is loved by beginners and hobbyists, as well as professionals, and used in education and development by thousands. Board comes with PIC18F45K22 device.
Modules
