Not followed.

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.

MMB skeletal framework to change screens, uses state machine

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.

Digital Low Pass Filtering - or how to add more bits of resolution to an ADC!

This algorithm uses a weighted averaging approach to filter or "smooth" DC steady state or slowly changing levels. It has an exponential component, so the trade-off is TIME. This algorithm is adapted from an article in EDN Times Magazine May25, 2006.

RS232 Interrupt driven command based interface

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.
