The Microchip maXTouch Curiosity Pro is an extension board for the Xplained Pro platform with a 320x480 RGB LCD and a capacitive touch sensor with a maXTouch controller. The LCD can be controlled using different interfaces, including 3- and 4-wire SPI, Parallel and RGB Parallel interface mode using the DIP-switch to select the interface. The maXTouch Curiosity Pro kit connects to any Curiosity MCU board or Xplained Pro standard extension header, any curiosity Pro or Ultra kit as well as many other Microchip MCU boards using the 20-pin header, but is limited to 3and 4-wire SPI mode. The maXTouch Curiosity Pro also features a standard LCD connector (FFC), which enables use of the parallel interfaces. Both connections feature a SPI interface for the LCD and I2C for the maXTouch device.
