The Mikromedia 4 for PIC CAPACITIVE FPI with Frame has two mikroBUS™ Shuttle connectors, a brand-new addition to the mikroBUS™ standard in the form of a 2x8-pin IDC header with 1.27mm (50mil) pitch. mikroBUS™ Shuttle extension board is an add-on board equipped with the conventional mikroBUS™ socket, which ensures compatibility with over 1200 Click boards™.
Awesome Graphics on MCU-Driven TFT
The Mikromedia 4 for PIC CAPACITIVE FPI with Frame is a compact development board designed as a complete solution for the rapid development of multimedia and GUI-centric applications. By featuring a 4.3" TFT display with capacitive touch screen driven by the powerful graphics controller that can display the 24-bit color palette (16.7 million colors), along with a DSP-powered embedded sound CODEC IC, represents a perfect solution for any type of multimedia application.
Develop & Build with the Same Board
The Mikromedia 4 for PIC CAPACITIVE FPI with Frame (FPI stands for Front Panel Integration) is designed as the complete solution. It can be implemented directly into any project, with no additional hardware modifications. At its core, there is a powerful 8-bit PIC18F97J94 microcontroller, produced by Microchip, which provides sufficient processing power for the most demanding tasks. Board has a TFT display with a metal frame, and four mounting holes that enable simple installation in various kinds of industrial appliances. For most uses, a nice casing is all that is needed to turn this product into a high-performance, feature-rich device. This board requires the use of an external programmer and debugger, preferably CODEGRIP or mikroProg. The microcontroller can be programmed and debugged over the Microchip ICSP compatible 2x5 pin header, labeled as PROG/DEBUG.
WHAT'S ON BOARD - BACK SIDE
Sound, Connectivity & Expandibility
Resource-demanding and complex audio processing tasks can be offloaded from the host MCU by utilizing a dedicated audio CODEC IC, labeled as VS1053B. This IC supports many different audio formats, commonly found on various digital audio devices.
This development board is not limited to multimedia-based applications only. USB, digital motion sensor, battery charging functionality, SD card reader and much more expands its use beyond the multimedia.
There are two mikroBUS™ Shuttle connectors on the development board, labeled as MB1 and MB2. Typically, a mikroBUS™ Shuttle connector can be used in combination with mikroBUS™ Shuttle extension board but is not limited to it. This ensures compatibility with the huge base of Click boards™.
State-of-the-Art Power Supply, Display & Graphic Controller
A high-quality 4.3" TFT true-color display with a capacitive touch panel is the most distinctive feature of the mikromedia 4. The display has a resolution of 480 by 272 pixels, and it can display up to 16.7M of colors. The display module is controlled by the FT813 graphics driver IC from FTDI. This is a powerful graphics controller targeted at embedded applications to generate high-quality Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs). It also includes some advanced features such as the embedded video engine, enhanced sketch processing, built-in synthesizer, and more.
The Power Supply Unit (PSU) provides a clean and regulated power, necessary for a proper operation of the mikromedia 4 development board. It is equipped with three different power supply inputs, offering all the flexibility that mikromedia 4 needs.
More Connectivity
The microSD card slot allows storing large amounts of data externally, on a microSD memory card. The microSD card detection circuit is also provided on the board.
The host MCU is equipped with the USB peripheral module, allowing simple USB connectivity.
The RTC peripheral utilizes a separate power supply source, typically a battery. To allow continuous tracking of time, mikromedia 4 is equipped with a button cell battery that maintains RTC functionality even if the main power supply is off.
