Stop trying to solder the 0.5mm pitch Color LCD connector and start playing! This breakout board comes fully tested and assembled with it's own Nokia LCD. The Color LCD Carrier Board requires only 3.3V and boosts this voltage to drive the LED backlight at 6.5V. The multiple solder jumpers allow the end user to get complete access to the LCD connector if needed. Only 6 connections are need for basic operation:

• +Vin (3.3V)
• CS (Chip Select)
• SCLK (Serial Clock)
• SDATA (Serial Data)
• RST (Reset)
• GND (Ground)

Carrier board comes fully assembled and tested and includes a Nokia Color LCD.

Special Note:
The Nokia LCDs are sensitive to electrical noise on the Vdsp supply line (Pin 6 on LCD). This line provides power for the LCD itself while Vdig supplies power to the screens controller and interface logic. This breakout board allows several different power configurations using jumpers. By default the board takes a single 3.3 volt input to power the booster circuit and both Vdsp and Vdig. This configuration causes large amounts of noise on Vdsp that can cause the screen to flicker randomly. For best results use a separate 3.3 volt supply for Vdsp. If a separate regulated 3.3 volt supply is not available for Vdsp, try a 100uF capacitor between Vdsp and GND which might provide acceptable performance.
