mikromedia™ has developed into a well-known brand. Not only that we set new standards in design and

selection of on-board modules, but we also created an entire ecosystem of users who use our visual tools and

compilers to develop TFT applications faster and easier than ever before. The ease of use is our top priority.

This is why we wanted to take things to the next level.

mikromedia™ workStation v7 is unlike anything you have seen before. With custom pin markings it will

revolutionize the way people look at dierent architectures. Switching from one mikromedia to another while

using virtually the same code is a very powerful concept. We are condent this will be especially interesting

in education and among developers who need exibility and rapid prototyping.

Introduction

introduction

After several years of successful production of mikromedia™ boards,

we have decided to delight users of our products and make a new

development system that expands functionality of all mikromedia™

boards with Microchip® microcontrollers. The idea was to make a

development system with as many peripherals as possible to

cover multimedia modules. On the other hand we wanted to t in

dimensions of other development systems with 2-layer PCB. We

present you the board which is powerful, well organized, with

high-quality components, on-board programmer and debugger

and it's ready to be your strong ally in development. We hope

you will enjoy it as much as we do.

supply that creates stable voltage

and current levels necessary

for powering each part of

the board. Power supply
section contains specialized

MC33269DT3.3 power regulator

which creates VCC-3.3V power supply,

thus making the board capable of supporting

3.3V microcontrollers. Power supply unit can be

powered in three dierent ways: with USB power supply

(CN5), using external adapters via adapter connector (CN36)

or additional screw terminals (CN35). External adapter voltage levels

must be in range of 9-32V DC and 7-23V AC. Use jumper J1 to specify

which power source you are using. Upon providing the power using either external

adapters or USB power source you can turn on power supply by using SWITCH 1 (Figure

boards. Two of

them are used for general purpose I/O and power pins (1x26). The other two are used for the mikroProg

™

programmer (1x5) or ICD2/3 (1x6). Before placing the mikromedia

™

board into the appropriate socket
(Page 10), you have to solder two 1x26 male headers to the side pads and one 1x5 male header for
mikroProg

™

programmer. Currently, six mikromedia™ boards are supported, but there is a tendency to

increase the number:

What is mikromedia™ board?

The mikromedia™ board is a compact development
system with lots of on-board peripherals which allow
development of devices with multimedia content. The
central part of the system is a PIC18FJ®, PIC24®,

dsPIC33® or PIC32® microcontroller, depending on

mikromedia

™

board. The mikromedia™ features integrated
modules such as Audio module (with stereo MP3 codec
and 3.5mm audio connector for headphones), resistive

TFT 320x240 touch screen display (with 262.144

dierent colors), battery charger, accelerometer, microSD
card slot and 8 Mbit ash memory. mikromedia

™

board also
contains a MINI-B USB connector, two 1x26 connection
pads, LI-Polymer battery connector and other. It comes pre
programmed with bootloader, but can also be programmed
with standalone programmers, such as mikroProg

™

or

ICD2/3. mikromedia

™

is compact and slim, and perfectly

ts in the palm of your hand, which makes it a convenient

platform for mobile devices. It can be powered through a

USB MINI-B cable or battery supply. When you put any of
them in mikromedia

™

workStation v7 system number

of modules and functionality signicantly increase.

Key components are marked as in the example of

mikromedia for PIC32

®

(Figure 4-6) and are similar

for other mikromedia

™

. The most important dierences

between mikromedia

™

boards are shown on page 12 and

13. A detailed description can be found in appropriate
manuel provided with the mikromedia

™

board.

BSP makes programming easier

« Board Support Package in mikroElektronika compilers

In embedded world, BSP or Board Support Package is

the common name for all hardware-specic codes which
simplies working with the board. That is why we made

a BSP package support for mikromedia

™

workStation

v7 board, to make programming of mikromedia

™

boards

much easier. Various mikromedia boards have dierent

connections of microcontroller pins on side pads.
mikromedia

™

workStation v7 development system has a
unique set of markings on a silk screen which enables you
to use each pin connected to mikromedia

™

side pads with

the well organized layout, combined together into ve I/O

groups labeled as G0, G1, G2, G3 and G4. BSP abstracts
what's "underneath the hood" and enables you to have
one development system for various mikromedia

™

boards.
For example, pin number 5 on the side pad of mikromedia
for PIC18FJ is connected to the RF2 microcontroller pin. On
the other hand, pin number 5 on the side pad of mikromedia
for PIC32 is connected to the RB2 microcontroller pin.

BSP package and mikromedia workStation v7 oers you

the possibility to use this pin with the unique name G0.0,
and this stands for all PIC mikromedia boards. In addition
to simple I/O functions, BSP package also provides you

a simple way of using ADC, I2C, SPI and UART libraries
without knowing, for example if it is UART1 or UART2
module connected to mikromedia

™

side pads. Before
using, you need to choose the appropriate BSP package
depending on the programming language (C, Basic,
Pascal) and the type of mikromedia (PIC18FJ

®

, PIC24®,

PIC24EP

®

, dsPIC33®, dsPIC33EP®, PIC32®). BSP can only
be used with Mikroelektronika compilers. If you use other
compilers or if you do not want to use BSP, connections
between mikromedia

™

side pads and workStation board

pins are as shown on the images below.

mikroICD™ - In Circuit Debugger

What is Debugging?

Every developer comes to a point where he has to monitor the

code execution in order to nd errors in the code, or simply

to see if everything is going as planed. This hunt for bugs or
errors in the code is called debugging. There are two ways
to do this: one is the software simulation, which enables
you to simulate what is supposed to be happening on the
microcontroller as your code lines are executed and the other,
most reliable one, is monitoring the code execution on the
MCU itself. And this latter one is called In-Circuit debugging.
"In-Circuit" means that it is the real deal - code executes right
on the target device.

What is mikroICD™?

The on-board mikroProg™ programmer supports mikroICD™ - a
highly eective tool for a Real-Time debugging on hardware
level. The mikroICD

™

debugger enables you to execute your
program on the host PIC microcontroller and view variable
values, Special Function Registers (SFR), RAM, CODE and
EEPROM memory along with the mikroICD

™

code execution
on hardware. Whether you are a beginner, or a professional,
this powerful tool, with intuitive interface and convenient
set of commands will enable you to track down bugs quickly.
mikroICD

™

is one of the fastest, and most reliable debugging

tools on the market.

Supported Compilers

All MikroElektronika compilers, mikroC, mikroBasic and
mikroPascal for PIC®, dsPIC® and PIC32® natively support
mikroICD

™

. Specialized mikroICD DLL module allows compilers to

exploit the full potential of fast hardware debugging. Along with
compilers, make sure to install the appropriate programmer
drivers and mikroProg Suite for PIC® programming software,
as described on pages 20 and 21.

When you build your project for debugging, and program

the microcontroller with this HEX le, you can start the

debugger using [F9] command. Compiler will change layout
to debugging view, and a blue line will mark where code
execution is currently paused. Use debugging toolbar in
the Watch Window to guide the program execution, and stop
anytime. Add the desired variables to Watch and monitor their
values. Complete guide to using mikroICD

™

with your compiler

is provided within the mikromedia

™

workStation v7 package.

How do I use the debugger?

Here is a short overview of which debugging commands are supported in mikroElektronika compilers. You can see what each command does,
and what are their shortcuts when you are in debugging mode. It will give you some general picture of what your debugger can do.

program line calls another routine, the debugger steps into the

routine and halts after executing the rst instruction within it.

Step Over [F8]

Executes the current program line, then halts. If the executed program
line calls another routine, the debugger will not step into it. The whole

routine will be executed and the debugger halts at the rst instruction

following the call.

One of the most distinctive features of mikromedia

™

workStation v7 are it’s Input/Output PORT groups. They

add so much to the connectivity potential of the board.

Everything is grouped together

PORT headers, PORT buttons and PORT LEDs are next to each other and

grouped together. It makes development easier, and the entire mikromedia

™

workStation v7 cleaner and well organized. We have also provided an additional PORT

headers on the left side of the board, so you can access any pin you want from that side

of the board too.

Tri-state pull-up/down DIP switches

Tri-state DIP switches, like SW1 on Figure 6-3, are
used to enable 4K7 pull-up or pull-down resistor on
any desired port pin. Each of these switches has three

states:

1. middle position disables both pull-up and pull-down
feature from the PORT pin

2. up position connects the resistor in pull-up state to
the selected pin

3. down position connects the resistor in pull-down
state to the selected PORT pin.

Figure 6-1: I/O group contains PORT headers, tri-state pull
up/down DIP switch, buttons and LEDs all in one place

Figure 6-4: IDC10 male headers enable easy

With enhanced connectivity as one of the key features
of mikromedia

™

workStation v7, we have provided

four connection headers for each PORT. I/O PORT
group contains two male IDC10 header (like CN3 and
CN4 Figure 6-3) and one 1x10 row of connection
pads (like CN1 Figure 6-3). There is one more IDC10
header available on the left side of the board next to
breadboard. IDC10 can be used to connect accessory
boards with IDC10 female sockets.

The logic state of
all microcontroller
digital inputs may

be changed using
push buttons.
Tri-state DIP
switch SW2 is

available for selecting which logic state will be applied
to corresponding MCU pin when button is pressed, for
each I/O port separately. If you, for example, place SW2.1
in VCC position, then pressing of any push button in
GROUP0 I/O group will apply logic one to the appropriate
microcontroller pin. The same goes for GND. If DIP switch
is in the middle position neither of two logic states will
be applied to the appropriate microcontroller pin. You
can disable pin protection 220ohm resistors by placing
jumpers J5 and J6, which will connect your push buttons
directly to VCC or GND. Be aware that doing so you may
accidentally damage MCU in case of wrong usage.

Figure 6-5: Button press level DIP

In the far upper right section of the
board, there is a RESET button,

LED (Light-Emitting
Diode) is a highly

ecient electronic

light source. When
connecting LEDs,
it is necessary to
place a current
limiting resistor in
series so that LEDs
are provided with
the current value

specied by the manufacturer. The current varies from

0.2mA to 20mA, depending on the type of the LED
and the manufacturer. The mikromedia

™

workStation
v7 board uses low-current LEDs with typical current
consumption of 0.2mA or

0.3mA. Board contains 40
LEDs which can be used
for visual indication of the
logic state on PORT pins. An
active LED indicates that a
logic high (1) is present on
the pin. In order to enable
GROUP LEDs, it is necessary
to enable the corresponding
DIP switch on SW3 (Figure
6-6).

mikroBUS™ sockets

Easier connectivity and simple conguration are

imperative in modern electronic devices. Success
of the USB standard comes from it’s simplicity of
usage and high and reliable data transfer rates.
As we in mikroElektronika see it, Plug-and-Play
devices with minimum settings are the future in
embedded world too. This is why our engineers
have come up with a simple, but brilliant pinout
with lines that most of today’s accessory boards
require, which almost completely eliminates the
need of additional hardware settings. We called
this new standard the mikroBUS

™

. mikromedia™

workStation v7 supports mikroBUS

™

with four
on-board host sockets. As you can see, there are
no additional DIP switches, or jumper selections.
Everything is already routed to the most
appropriate pins of the microcontroller sockets.

SCL - I2C Clock line
SDA - I2C Data line
+5V - VCC-5V power line

mikroBUS™ host connector

Each mikroBUS™ host connector consists of two 1x8 female headers containing pins that are most likely to be

used in the target accessory board. There are three groups of communication pins: SPI, UART and I

C communication.

There are also single pins for PWM, Interrupt, Analog input, Reset and Chip Select. Pinout contains two power

groups: +5V and GND on one header and +3.3V and GND on the other 1x8 header.

UART via RS-232

The UART (universal asynchronous receiver/
transmitter) is one of the most common ways of
exchanging data between the MCU and peripheral
components. It is a serial protocol with separate
transmit and receive lines, and can be used for full­duplex communication. Both sides must be initialized
with the same baud rate, otherwise the data will not be
received correctly.

RS-232 serial communication is performed through a 9-pin
SUB-D connector and the microcontroller UART module. In
order to enable this communication, it is necessary
to establish a connection between RX and TX
lines on SUB-D connector and the same pins on
the target microcontroller using DIP switches.
Since RS-232 communication voltage levels

are dierent than microcontroller logic

levels, it is necessary to use a RS­232 Transceiver circuit, such as

MAX3232 as shown on
Figure 8-1.

UART via USB

Modern PC computers, laptops and notebooks are
no longer equipped with RS-232 connectors and
UART controllers. They are nowadays replaced with
USB connectors and USB controllers. Still, certain technology
enables UART communication to be done via USB connection.
FT232RL from FTDI® convert UART signals to the appropriate
USB standard. In order to use USB-UART module on mikromedia

™

workStation v7 board, you must rst install FTDI drivers on

your computer. Drivers can be found on Product DVD:

USB-UART communication is being done through

a FT232RL controller, USB connector (CN21),

and microcontroller UART module. To establish this
connection, you must connect RX and TX lines to the
appropriate pins of the mikromedia

™

board. This

connection is done using DIP switches
SW4.6 and SW4.7.

DS1820 is a digital temperature

sensor that uses 1-wire®

interface for it’s operation. It is

capable of measuring temperatures

within the range of -55 to 128°C,

and provides ±0.5°C accuracy for
temperatures within the range of -10 to
85°C. It requires 3V to 5.5V power supply
for stable operation. It takes maximum

of 750ms for the DS1820 to calculate
temperature with 9-bit resolution.
1-wire® serial communication enables
data to be transferred over a single
communication line, while the process
itself is under the control of the master
microcontroller. The advantage of
such communication is that only one
microcontroller pin is used. Multiple

sensors can be connected on the same
line. All slave devices by default have
a unique ID code, which enables the
master device to easily identify all
devices sharing the same interface.
Board provides a separate so cket (TS1)
for the DS1820. Communica tion line
with the microcontroller is selected with
a J3 jumper.

the socket make sure that half-circle on the board’s silkscreen markings matches
the rounded part of the DS1820 sensor. If you accidentally connect the sensor
the other way, it may be permanently damaged. Make sure to disconnect other
peripherals (except those in 1-wire network), LEDs and additional pull-up or pull­down resistors from the interface lines in order not to interfere with signal/data
integrity.

The LM35 is a low-cost precision
integrated-circuit temperature sensor,
whose output voltage is linearly
proportional to the Celsius (Centigrade)
temperature. The LM35 thus has an
advantage over linear temperature
sensors calibrated in ° Kelvin, as the
user is not required to subtract a large
constant voltage from its output to

obtain convenient Centigrade scaling.
The LM35 does not require any external
calibration or trimming to provide
typical accuracies of ±¼°C at room
temperature and ±¾°C over a full -55
to +150°C temperature range. It has
a linear + 10.0 mV/°C scale factor

and less than 60 μA current drain. As
it draws only 60 μA from its supply, it

has very low self-heating,
less than 0.1°C in still air.

Digital signals have two discrete states, which are
decoded as high and low, and interpreted as logic 1 and

logic 0. Analog signals, on the other hand, are continuous,

and can have any value within dened range. A/D

converters are specialized circuits which can convert analog

signals (voltages) into a digital representation, usually in form

of an integer number. The value of this number is linearly

dependent on the input voltage value. Most microcontrollers

nowadays internally have A/D converters connected to one or

more input pins. Some of the most important parameters of A/D

converters are conversion time and resolution. Conversion time

determines how fast can an analog voltage be represented in form

of a digital number. This is an important parameter if you need fast data

acquisition. The other parameter is resolution. Resolution represents the

number of discrete steps that supported voltage range can be divided into. It

determines the sensitivity of the A/D converter. Resolution is represented in maximum

number of bits that resulting number occupies. For example if microcontroller has 10-bit

resolution, meaning that maximum value of conversion can be represented with 10 bits, which converted

to integer is 2

10

=1024. This means that supported voltage range, for example from 0-3.3V, can be divided into 1024
discrete steps of about 3.22mV.

Piezo electricity is the charge which accumulates in
certain solid materials in response to mechanical pressure,
but also providing the charge to the piezo electric material
causes it to physically deform. One of the most widely
used applications of piezo electricity is the production
of sound generators, called piezo buzzers. Piezo buzzer

is an electric component that comes in dierent shapes

and sizes, which can be used to create sound waves
when provided with analog electrical signal. mikromedia

™

workStation v7 comes with piezo buzzer which can be
connected to G4.2 or G4.3 microcontroller pin. Connection
is established using SW3.8 or SW4.8 DIP switch. Buzzer is
driven by transistor Q1 (Figure 25-1). Microcontrollers can
create sound by generating a PWM (Pulse Width Modulated)
signal – a square wave signal, which is nothing more than

a sequence of logic zeros and ones. Frequency
of the square signal determines the pitch of the
generated sound, and duty cycle of the signal can be
used to increase or decrease the volume in the range
from 0% to 100% of the duty cycle. You can generate
PWM signal using hardware capture-compare module,
which is usually available in most microcontrollers, or by
writing a custom software which emulates the desired
signal waveform.

Supported sound frequencies

Piezo buzzer’s resonant frequency (where you can expect
it's best performance) is 3.8kHz, but you can also use it
to create sound in the range between 2kHz and 4kHz.

In order to use the on-board Piezo Buzzer in your

application, you rst have to connect the transistor

driver of piezo buzzer to the appropriate pin. This
is done using SW3.8 or SW4.8 DIP switch (never in
the same time). Once the switch is in ON position,
it connects the buzzer driver to G4.2 or G4.3 pin.

Buzzer starts "singing" when you provide
PWM signal from the microcontroller
to the buzzer driver. The pitch of the
sound is determined by the frequency,
and amplitude is determined by the
duty cycle of the PWM signal.
