14.6 Summary

Visual GLCD is a standalone software package used for the development of GLCD based projects. With the help of this software, users can create screens and place drag-and-drop components on these screens. This chapter has described the design of several projects using the Visual GLCD software. The early projects are based on using the standard 128 × 64 pixel GLCD module. Visual GLCD provides an event driven approach to graphical user based project design. Users can touch the various components placed on the screen and then associate codes with these components. These activation codes are in the form of functions that can be written by users. The use of the SmartGLCD module has been described in the chapter. This is a standalone hardware incorporating 240 × 128 pixel GLCD and a PIC microcontroller. Projects are given to show how to use the SmartGLCD module in projects.
