How Do You Use Interrupts Effectively in LCD Firmware?
Interrupts manage time-sensitive tasks like LCD refresh and touch input in embedded firmware.

To program a graphic LCD module for custom graphics, start by picking a display that matches your microcontroller and meets your project needs.
I2C lets a microcontroller talk to an LCD using only two wires: SDA (data) and SCL (clock).
Capacitive touch screens detect fingers or conductive styluses through electrostatic field changes. Resistive touch screens register pressure from any input, like gloves or styluses, to connect flexible layers.
A level shifter safely connects a 3.3V LCD module to a 5V system by translating signal voltages to a range the display can handle.
The typical Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) for commercial LCD modules ranges from 30,000 to 70,000 hours.
Parallel‑to‑serial conversion is needed because most microcontrollers do not have enough GPIO pins to support a full 8‑ or 16‑bit parallel LCD bus.
Signal timing controls data transfer in LCD displays. It ensures clear, stable images. Proper timing from datasheets prevents these artifacts.
The master toggles SCLK to clock out bytes on MOSI and drives CS low to select the lcd spi interface. MISO can return status feedback when the display supports it.
In little-endian, the least significant byte (LSB) comes first. This difference affects how systems store and read data.
