Universal User Interface Module

with LCD and SD card

Published in issue 384, December 2008

Universal User Interface Module
This module provides a simple user interface for extending microcontroller-based circuits. Graphics and text display commands can be sent to it over a serial interface, and, using its UART, the module reports back when the state of any of six inputs changes. Additional firmware can display a slideshow of images stored on an SD card.

R8 = 470O, SMD 0805

Capacitors
C1,C3,C4,C5 = 100nF, SMD 0805
C2,C6 = 2µF2, SMD 0805
C7,C8 = 22pF, NP0, SMD 0805
