This month, we’re going to once again orbit on the fringes of
robotic science and wander into mechatronic space.
If you’ve been following the Design Cycle series over in Nuts & Volts, you already know that we’ve been working with Microchip’s newest 32-bit PIC — the PIC32MX795F512L. In recent Design Cycle discussions, we’ve used the PIC32MX795F512L to
blink LEDs and hook up with a PC host in the guise of a
HID-class device. It’s time to bring the resources of the
32-bit PIC32MX795F512L to a SERVO project. So this time
around, we’re going to put the PIC32MX795F512L to work
as a HID-capable graphics display module driver.
The µOLED-128-G1
36 SERVO 02.2010
The 4D Labs µOLED-128-G1 Display Module is based on
Passive Matrix OLED technology (PMOLED) which is driven
by a GOLDELOX graphics processor. The GOLDELOX
graphics engine and the OLED display have the ability to
stand alone when their resources are combined. However,
the µOLED-128-G1 can also be targeted by a microcontroller
and, since we have a very powerful and easy to use PIC at
our disposal, that’s exactly what we’re going to do.
