• Language: this shows how multiple languages can be integrated into one applica-
tion. Text examples in Roman, Cyrillic, simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean
alphabets are shown.
alphabets are shown.
• Game: this is a simple, interactive adaptation of a “snake” video game. Its
operation is self-explanatory.
• Animation: this shows animation of stored graphics, along with image scaling and
interactivity.
• Drawing: this demo implements free-hand drawing with a selectable color palette
using the touch screen.
• ECG: this simulates an electrocardiogram display, demonstrating how analog data
can be used to produce a graphic output. The “Ext” option switches between the
fixed ECG display and a graphing display based on the potentiometer’s position.

DEMO APPLICATION, SECOND MENU SCREEN
The demos available from the second screen are:
• Clock: this is a simple numeric date and time display, based on the
microcontroller’s RTCC.
• Graph Demo: this demo uses the Chart widget from the Microchip Graphics
Library to generate a wide range of bar and pie charts based on a fixed set of
data.
data.
• External Flash: this demo shows images or pictures stored in the on-board Flash
memory.
• Thumb Drive: this uses the USB Host interface to read a thumb drive connected to
J4 and scan it for graphics files (JPEG or BMP formats only). The application then
produces a directory of graphics images, and displays the corresponding file
when selected.
