The LCD Capacitive Touch Boosterpack

This BoosterPack is designed by Lars, a member of the 43oh Forum. You can see his entire build thread at this link. Headers can be purchased here at this link.

This is a boosterpack that fits on top of the Launchpad, with a small, low current 96x65 LCD screen and 4 capacitative touch pads. This pack is a good component if you want to show text and graphics as part of your project.

The display is an SPI-based Powertip PE9665WRF with the ST7579 controller, drawing approximately 0.2mA current.

The display has backlight, but this is not connected by default. To turn on the backlight, you need to solder on a resistor to the board according to the instructions.
 

There are open source code examples for IAR and CCS available.
