Product Description

With growing demand for touch and gesture interfaces The PIC32 GUI Development Board with Projected Capacitive Touch enables easy development of cost effective multi touch graphical user interfaces.

Based on PIC32MX795F512H with 105 DMIPS performance, 512KB Flash and 128KB RAM. The PIC32 is coupled with a low cost PSRAM as a high speed graphics frame buffering and a 4.3” WQVGA touch display enabling development of graphics solutions without an external graphics controller.

Additionally the board provides USB host and device connectivity and supports I/O connections via through-hole pads for custom board attachment. Multi touch user input is supported by Microchip’s Turnkey Projected Capacitive Touch Controller, MTCH6301. The board is a standalone development platform that can be programmed/debugged via the on board 5-pin In-Circuit Serial Programmer interface designed for Microchip’s PICkit3 In-Circuit Debugger. Designs also have access to source code & tools on a royalty free license direct from microchip.

Access the Full Source Code

All the source code & tools for the PIC MCU is available from Microchip on a royalty license.

Build for the Future

While the algorithms currently support dual touch but the sensor drive had the potential to handle much more.

Low Cost & Low Power

Ideal for developing handheld, devices with touch screen user interfaces.
