1. Description
The Picadillo-35T is a 3.5” 320x480 resolution (Half
VGA) Embedded Display Module with Resistive
Touch, featuring the Microchip PIC32MX795F512L
32bit microcontroller, featuring Arduino™/
chipKIT™ style headers for easy attachment of
shields, and compatible with UECIDE, MPIDE and
MPLAB X Programming IDE’s.
The Picadillo-35T was designed with complete
system control in mind. It features a 3.5” display
along with a ton of GPIO, making it a perfect
candidate for system control which demands a GUI
or user interface.
The PIC32MX795F512L is a powerful 32bit
microcontroller from Microchip, which has 512Kb
of Flash and 128Kb of SRAM, runs at 80Mhz and is
capable of 105 DMIPS. It features a PMP graphics
port which is used to connect the on board 3.5”
display, allowing for fast graphics fully controlled
by the Users code. The same PIC32 is found on the
popular chipKIT Max32 Development Board.
The Picadillo-35T has been designed to be
programmed using the UECIDE IDE, which is based
on the Arduino IDE however with various
enhancements and improvements. It can also be
used with MPIDE, or even using Microchip MPLAB
X. Using UECIDE or MPIDE, the display module can
essentially be treated as if it was a chipKIT MAX32
and programmed using the familiar programming
language found on the Arduino/chipKIT.
The Picadillo-35T features an on board FTDI USB to
TTL converter for programming and powering the
display, along with an ICSP connection for using
programmers such as the PICKIT3.
Also featured on board is amicroSD connector,
audio amplifier and speaker, RTC oscillator, and
headers in the layout of the chipKit Uno32.
4D Systems highly recommends the UECIDE
Programming IDE, which is available for download
from www.uecide.org, which features the
Picadillo-35T as a board for selection from the
plugin system.
