ABOUT THE APPLICATION
The pre-programmed demonstration application has been designed as a showcase for
the PIC24FJ256DA210 microcontroller. The full-color graphics and resistive
touch-screen management are all handled on-chip using the microcontroller. Only a
subset of the development board’s other interactive features are demonstrated in this
application.

touch-screen management are all handled on-chip using the microcontroller. Only a
subset of the development board’s other interactive features are demonstrated in this
application.
The demonstration runs from two main menu screens (Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2), with
Figure 2-1 appearing on power-up as the default screen. Navigation between the two
menu screens is done with the arrows in the screen’s lower right corner.

A total of 10 interactive demos are provided in the application. Touching the appropriate
icon invokes that demo. Touching the “Demo” button in the lower left of either menu
screen runs a continuous loop of several of the demos. Touching “Exit”, generally in the
lower left of any of the demos, returns to the menu screen.
