MDM-DEV-1

The MDM-DEV-1 is a programmable LCD display development board, intended for applications that require a fast time to market at low cost. The module is sold unprogrammed, allowing the user to program the desired functionality into the product. The MDM-1 can be made to control a complete application, including its display front end, a keypad interface, switching outputs and any LEDs. The modules core components comprise an LCD and a PIC microcontroller. Each LCD segment is software addressable, allowing the user to display numbers, text and non standard characters. The PIC processor used (a 4MHz 16F877) features a reduced instruction set (RISC) architecture, making it easy for the user novice or advanced to develop professional software quickly. The module has been designed to fit into a range of standard handheld enclosures. Alternatively, the user can mount the MDM-1 into a front panel, using the bezel and mounting hardware provided.

• Five digit starburst LCD with LED backlighting
