The PIC32 LCC Graphics Kit is made up of the following 3 Microchip products and is an awesome platform for developing graphics solutions.
Part Number
Description
AC164144
Low-Cost Controllerless (LCC) Graphics PICtail Plus Board
DM320003-2
PIC32 USB Starter Kit II
AC164127-6
Graphics PICtail Plus Powertip 4.3" LCD Board
PIC32 USB Starter Kit II
The PIC32 USB Starter Kit II provides the easiest and lowest cost method to experience the USB and CAN functionality of the PIC32 microcontrollers. Users can develop CAN applications using PIC32 expansion boards. The board contains everything need to develop USB embedded host/device/OTG applications by combining this board with Microchip's free USB software (On-The-Go support provided in a future software release). The USB Starter Kit II has the same form factor and expansion connector as other PIC32 Starter Kits.

Congratulations! Your product will be shipped to the address each of you provided when you applied for this RoadTest. As a reminder, element14 and our supplier partners send these products free-of-charge because we place high value upon your unbiased, detailed product review. Please post your review back here within 3-6 weeks of receiving your item.
For those who were not selected to win this product, we have the STMicroelectronics STM32FODiscovery for STM32FO Cortex MO MCU Road Test open for applicants
The App note has a lot of good information. I need to spend some time looking it over. If I don't get selected for the road test, I will look into a possible purchase. Definately an intriguing device.
It is not possible to do video with this configuration because the display size is too large and additionally the CPU has to emulate the graphics controller. However, it is possible to do small animations.
Lots of projects for this hardware configuration can be found in the graphics directory of the Microchip libraries : http://www.microchip.com/MLA
I am looking for a way to embed a graphics controller into a product that will show short movies based on switch closure. Can this board do that? The files are small movie files such as .mov or .wmf format. A controller would read the switches and decide which short movie to show, and if no buttons are pushed it would loop a default movie.
Yes, you may enrol. The only restriction we place on enrolees is that if you have been successful in becoming a Road Tester and do not post a review within 2 months of receipt of the product, you are ineligible to participate in any future Road Tests.
