Hey guys, I'm starting a new project and I started looking into a 24F. Here is the model I have narrowed down:
PIC24FJ64GB002-I/SP-ND
I was wondering if you guys have a good voltage regulator in mind. I plan to power this via USB (which I already have done with the 18F4550). So, the voltage regulator would have to take in appox. 5V and step it down values between 2 V to 3.6 V.
In addition, I am looking into a touch screen. Specifically, I am looking at purchasing this model:
NHD-2.4-240320SF-CTXI#-T1
From my understanding it would be easier to go program it using Microchip's C30 compiler since it has a graphics library.
The overall project involves USB communication (which is why I have selected a 24F microcontroller with a USB controller) to a PC that can accept commands from the touchscreen (can be used as a mouse) or the PC can draw a user selected image to the touch screen. So, I want to know how feasible any of the parts of this project is going to be. I have the whole summer to work on this and I want try to get as far as possible.
So my questions are as follows:
_________________________
1. What voltage regulator would you recommend for the 24F I have selected (one that accepts 5V as an input and output any where between 2 to 3.6V)?
2. Is the touchscreen and microcontroller that I am going with feasible? (Is it practical to do a project with this?)
3. Should I be looking into additional hardware components or any thing else required with the touch screen?
As always, thank you for your time, assistance, and responses regarding this project.
