Functional Inverter and LCD


After receiving the components needed to implement an inverter that was designed for the LCD Screen which is copyrighted in 2006 by Snowleopard Labs and is used in this project by permission with an email for evidence backup.

The inverter has been connected as seen in the following pictures and each node was tested to make sure that the entry voltage did not fluctuate which could cause the LCD's max voltage to be passed causing the LCD to burn out.
The original design was modified to include voltage regulators to add an additional protective measure to avoid any components from receiving more voltage that desired. The voltage input for the inverter was set at 5 volts and the regulator prevents any voltage above this voltage from passing on into the inverter.

Javier was able to successfully complete the circuit and connect it to the LCD which turned on showing lines. At first it was assumed that the lines were not normal, but having done research before implementing the circuit, the lines that appear randomly are normal until the LCD is initialized with firmware.
It is being considered if we are to wire wrap the components and then proceed to the programming of the LCD using the IAR workbence program.
