Need large display and keypad for the EVK1100

2008-08-26 by Stevej

Hello,

 

I am new to this group and to the AVR processor, but not new to imbedded
systems design.

 

I am working on a project that requires an imbedded microprocessor, and
after much research, it seems like the AVR32 will fill the bill quite
nicely, and the EVK1100 board will do almost everything I need for this
project.  However, I will a keypad (perhaps 16 keys) and a larger display
(at least 8 lines of 40 characters).  It would actually be nice to use a
touch screen display.

 

Does anyone know of someone who has interfaced a larger display and keypad
to this board, and if so, how I could get the information to do this along
with software drivers?  I don't want to reinvent the wheel, but concentrate
strictly on my project.  I have tried Google and other resources, and have
found lots of things for the AVR, but not the AVR32.  The AVR is somewhat
underpowered for my project.

 

Thank you for your help.

 

Steve Jacobson

Check out http://store.earthlcd.com/

The products are excellent, and the peripheral integration is already  
done - just add a keypad/board.

Steve,
Interfacing to the keypad isn't a big deal; you can visit our www.pdksolutions.com for an example.

However, the largest lcd display I've seen is 40x4; to get 8 lines you'll probably have to go with a graphical module.  Again, not a big deal, just a bit more complicated of a driver.

We're planning an AVR32 board; email or call me for details.

AVR Freaks (www.avrfreaks.net) has several forum sections devoted to the
AVR32. You are likely to find folks with a lot more AVR32 experience
there. Most, but clearly not all, the folks on this list deal with the
Mega and Tiny devices.

I posted my original question there, but I have gotten no response.  Is the
AVR32 so new that there isn't the community of users out there yet?  It
looks like the AVR32UC3 will do most anything you want with lots of headroom
(MIPS, memory, etc.) and better bang for the buck.

I could use an ATMega AVR for my project, but the AVR32 will let me do the
same thing without worrying about counting cycles or if I am running out of
memory for a bit less cost.

It is relatively new (less than a year or so on the market). Relatively
few devices are available in a larger planned family.
