To "commercialize" my TFT project, I could not use the large 40-pin connector on the TFT-Proto, so I created a new PCB to mount the TFT to.

To turn my project into something to sell, I could not use the 0.1" 40-pin connector, so made a new PCB to mount the TFT to, using a Flat Flex Cable (FFC) connector.  It is a 0.5mm spacing type.  Cables are available from Digikey, Newark, etc. (search FFC 40 pin).

Used EAGLE 5.11, gerber files included in .ZIP.  Tested fine.  I have attached for reference the schematic of the dsPIC for this new product, showing the 40-pin connector on the PIC side.

Block memory move to/from EEPROM

5

This was my solution to storing data in EEPROM at specific memory locations, and having to break up LONGs,INTs, etc.; only to remap everything when I added another value to store. Example code to move large amounts of memory to/from EEPROM easily, using a ONE-BYTE at a time method (doesn't work with FLASH if #bytes > sector).

MMB skeletal framework to change screens, uses state machine

0

Basic framework I created to build a prototype. Shows how to use a simple state machine to control program flow, screens, etc. Updates value on the screen every second. Implemented a one second timer. Thought it may serve as a launch point for someone building a prototype of a custom board.

RS232 Interrupt driven command based interface

5

Example of setting up and decoding a command based interface - e.g. sending 'ADC?' returns it's value. Can easily be adapted to any ASCII based interface you wish. The UART.C file decodes the command, determines if it is SET or GET (setting or getting the value) and implements it.
