µLCD-24PT(GFX)

The uLCD-24PT(GFX) is a compact and cost effective all in one ‘SMART” display module using the latest state of the art Active Matrix LCD (TFT) technology with an embedded PICASO-GFX2 graphics controller that delivers ‘stand-alone’ functionality to any project.

The PICASO-GFX2 belongs to a family of processors powered by a highly optimised soft core virtual  engine,  E.V.E.  (Extensible Virtual Engine). EVE is a proprietary, high performance virtual processor with an extensive byte-code instruction set optimised to execute compiled 4DGL programs. 4DGL (4D Graphics Language) was specifically developed from ground up for the EVE engine core. It is a high level language which is
easy to learn and simple to understand yet powerful  enough to tackle many embedded graphics applications.

4DGL allows the developer to write applications in a high level syntax similar to popular languages such as BASIC, C and Pascal and run it directly on the PICASO-GFX2 processor embedded in the uLCD-24PT module. It allows the user to take complete control of all available resources on that hardware platform such as the Serial Ports, Graphics LCD Display, uSD memory card, I/O pins, etc. This eliminates the need for an external host controller/processor to drive the uLCD-24PT module via serial commands. It provides the user complete control over the hardware module allowing them to quickly develop powerful applications.

Note: GFX configuration only works with the "N" version of uLCD-24PT that has the New Driver IC. Any purchases made on or after 22nd of July 2011 would have the uLCD-24PT with the New Driver IC. Check the warranty label to see if you have the New Driver IC version of the uLCD-24PT.
