The prices of graphic displays are dropping, which makes them increasingly attractive for many applications. However, programming a graphic display is distinctly more difficult than programming a text display. Our mini microcontroller board features a new display-on-glass module and a high-performance Renesas M16C microcontroller. The board is available fully assembled, and the microcontroller is pre-loaded with a TinyBasic interpreter to simplify the development of graphics applications – even for novices.
