Design dynamic visual interfaces by learning to program 128x64 Graphical LCDs with PIC microcontrollers.
Bring Your Embedded Projects to Life with Stunning Visual Interfaces
Go beyond simple characters—learn to control full graphic displays using PIC microcontrollers. In this hands-on course, you’ll unlock the ability to build custom UIs, draw shapes, plot sensor data, and create interactive interfaces with a GLCD (Graphical LCD).
Why This Course?
Most microcontroller courses stop at basic LCDs. But in real-world products—industrial dashboards, instruments, and consumer electronics—graphical displays are standard. This course teaches you how to interface and program a Graphical LCD (GLCD 128x64) with a PIC microcontroller using embedded C, so you can show live data, design custom screens, and impress with visual polish.
Whether you're working on a professional prototype or an academic project, this is the course that elevates your hardware design from functional to professional.
What You’ll Learn
The internal structure and working of a graphical LCD (e.g., KS0108)
How to wire a GLCD to your PIC microcontroller (pin mapping and setup)
Programming graphics primitives: pixels, lines, boxes, text rendering
Creating custom characters and bitmaps on screen
Real-time display of sensor data or menu systems
How to organize graphics code for modular, reusable design
Real Skills You’ll Gain
Understand the GLCD architecture and pin configuration
Program with KS0108 driver-compatible GLCDs (128x64)
Draw shapes, icons, and custom graphics
Display sensor readings in real time as visuals
Use graphical libraries for PIC microcontrollers
Create splash screens and navigation menus
Structure code for scalable display applications
Troubleshoot and optimize for clarity, contrast, and power
What You’ll Build
A real-time data monitor that visually displays temperature, light, or any sensor input
A graphical menu or selection screen for a device interface
Custom animations or splash screens for microcontroller-based products
A visual debugging interface for your circuits and sensors
