Temperature Graph on TFT LCD

[garg29]

Hi Friends,
I need to display Graph & values of Temperature readings from 8 different sources, i.e. 8-channel temperature scanner. These readings have to be shown on 10.4" TFT LCD ( coloured) along with their live graph. I don't know where to start & how to start. I'm familiar with PIC16F & PIC18F series microcontollers. Do I need ARM9 for this typr of project. I have to keep the production cost minimum, so I need to design as much hardware & ssoftware as possible.


Waiting for your replies, Thanks a lot,

With best regards,
Garg

Hi,
Microchip have a graphic library for working with displays (for pic24,dsPic)

microchip has a demo board with SSD graphic controller. they also provide the graphics liberary for that controller. the display is 3.5" in size. you can replace the display with your 10"display. it should work if you modify the display specific code as all large size display are RAM less displays.

Thanks a lot for replying.
It's not that I have to work with only Microchip controllers. I can work with other ones also, Please suggest me the best method.

TFTs can be expensive.. are you sure you need colour???

Hello!

I would say you don't need an ARM processor to do that.
The reason is that temperature usually varies slowly.
Of course it depends on your application, but I would say
that if you sampling frequency is around a few Hz, then you
have plenty of time to update your graphs.

I am using a TFT with touch panel (CPU = MSP430) for
static graphics. It works fine although there is no DMA between
the CPU and the screen.

Of course, you cannot display moving pictures, but apparently
it's not what you want.

Hi,

Is there any chance to use PLC instead?

PIC Graphics Libary is very easy and very perfect for this project. You should try it. I ve been using it for a graphical sensor representation.

Thanks Fajarelektro for replying. Can you Please tell me which controller are you using & with what type & size of display are you using. Thanks once again,
Regards

Be more specific

*about the connection/protocol.
*Color or not
*Do u mean computer monitor?
