13.2 PROJECT 13.2 – LED Flashing with Variable Rate
13.2.1 Project Description
This project shows how the GLCD and touch screen can be used to develop the project of a flashing LED, where the flashing rate is selected by touching the appropriate button on the GLCDscreen. Figure 13.10 shows the screen layout and co-ordinates of the various boxes and rectangles displayed on the screen.
Figure 13.10 Screen layout of the project
An LED is connected to pin RC7 of the microcontroller. The flashing rate is displayed on the screen in the form of boxes. Four options are available: 1 second, 5 seconds, 10 seconds and 20 seconds. The user initially selects the flashing rate by touching the required box on the screen. The flashing then starts by touching the START button.
