microchip pic color lcd

Hi,

I had some experience in interfacing normal 2x16 monochrome LCD with a PIC. However, I am planning to try interface a color LCD (320x240) with a PIC but hv no clue on where to start!

Can anyone helps?



Thanks,
Eric

Re: Color LCD integration

If you use PIC and C lnaguage for programming, I recommend you using "MicroC" compiler.It is free and contains alot of functions for GLCD.
This link contains basic information about GLCDs and its interface with various MCUs:
