Mikromedia Manuals & User Guides

Mikromedia is a premier product line of compact development boards designed and manufactured by MikroElektronika (MIKROE). These boards act as complete, standalone multimedia solutions for embedded systems, integrating powerful microcontrollers (such as STM32, PIC32, Tiva, and dsPIC) with high-quality TFT touchscreens, audio codecs, and a variety of onboard sensors.

Designed to streamline the prototyping process, Mikromedia boards enable engineers and hobbyists to create rich graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and interactive applications without requiring complex hardware design. Each board is versatile enough to be used as a final product or a central component in larger systems, featuring expandability through shield adapters and standardized headers. Mikromedia represents the intersection of sophisticated hardware and ease of use, supported by MIKROE's comprehensive software ecosystem.

• How do I program a Mikromedia board?

  Mikromedia boards typically feature a JTAG/SWD header for external programmers (like CODEGRIP or mikroProg) and often include a USB bootloader for programming without external hardware.

• What compilers support Mikromedia boards?

  Mikromedia boards are fully supported by MIKROE compilers including NECTO Studio, mikroC, mikroBasic, and mikroPascal for the respective microcontroller architecture.

• Can I power the board with a battery?

  Yes, most Mikromedia boards feature an integrated battery charging circuit and a connector for single-cell Li-Po or Li-Ion batteries, allowing for autonomous operation.

• What is the difference between Resistive and Capacitive models?

  Resistive models use pressure-sensitive screens suitable for stylus use, while Capacitive models support multi-touch and gestures similar to modern smartphones.
