Getting Started
To get started, a development board with the Display Connector V 1, such as the Graphics LCD Controller
PICtail™ Plus SSD1926 Board (AC164127-5), is required. Please refer to its documentation for more details
(DS51790).
The Graphics Display Powertip 4.3" 480x272 Board can be used in conjunction with the Graphics Library for
Microchip microcontrollers. The Microchip Graphics Library and other firmware examples can be downloaded
from http://www.microchip.com/graphics.
The Microchip Graphics Library installer will create the Start Menu folder under the Programs\
Microchip\Graphics Library vX.XX folder. Please refer to the “Getting Started” section in the
Microchip Graphics Library Help, at this location, to program and run demonstration projects.
