STM32 Mini Computer

Hi again.
Today I’m going to talk about my mini computer I started making with the STM32.
It’s powered by the STM32F103RET6 stamp board from Futurlec, and it is clocked at 72MHz. Right now there isn’t any “real” applications or games in it, but theese are under development.

You can see some pictures about it here, but I’ve also made a video where you can see it in use.

Mini Computer - The Menu


The buttons on the right side of the menu is from Microchip’s Graphics Library, which I ported to the STM32.

    Hi Tomas,
    I’m runnig the demonstration software for the STM3210E-Eval. I displayed the main menu & the icons and now I need to change these icons with some other icons according to my application to load them after that to the Internal Flash.
    Can you please help me with this ??
    Best Regards

    Excellent window system. Good project. Just try to LCD Wf57e. Do not share ported source code under STM?

    “Do not share ported source code under STM?”
    What do you mean by this? I haven’t ported anything?

    I thought about the driver on dlyaSSD1963 stm32.

    Then what do you mean with ported?

    The original is written for Microchip. I quickly start a pay-for STM32F107 and LCD WF57E. Today it happened. From the library refused. It is very slow. Thanks for the video.

    Hello, I’m from Brazil. Engineering Study. I bought an LCD identical to this one. I’d like to learn to control it. not found much material. In my case I intend to control using PIC 18F4550, think possible?
    I thought of using SPI. and store images on SD card.
    What are the limitations?
    Could you give me some tips or materials to help me succeed?
    Never fuse with graphic LCD …

    Thanks

    Yes it is possible and with good results!
    Take a look at Microchips Graphics Library – you need to have MPASM and C18, but you can get those as free student editions!
    Those will get you started, but I can also help you…

    Best Regards

    Hello. I still have some questions and doubts about the control of this LCD. Well, i am using, as i said before, the microcontroler PIC18F4550 @ 5V, but i need 3.3V for the power supply of the LCD, so the question is, what regulator do you recomend me to use in order to get the 3.3V necessary? If you used one, which one did you use, or do you have any other sugestion or tip to give me?

    Best Regards

    In this project I’m using an LD33V voltage regulator, but if you are going to control the display with a 5V controller, you have to make some voltage translations on the digital lines (such as Clock, Latch, data…)
    This can be achieved with a couple of resistors though – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_divider

    Hello, you used some program to make the menus? need all possible information, I program in C.
    know this program: http://www.ramtex.dk/gclcd/glcd0129.htm

    It seems to be interesting and very useful. most do not know very well …

    communication of your lcd is spi?

    Thanks

    @Mariem
    Sorry for the late response, your comment was lost in my Spam filter :)
    Unfortunately I haven’t tried the STM3210E-EVAL board, but I’ve took a look at the code, and it looks pretty straight forward.
    But I don’t know exactly what you are trying to do and needs help with – could you please explain?
