The LayerOne Demoscene Board for the LayerOne Demo Party! This item is a KIT and components come unsoldered, unassembled, and unprogrammed! You will need a Pickit3 or other compatible PIC24F programmer to flash it!

A "Demo" is a combination of programming challenge, artwork, and music. You’re given specific hardware with any number of restrictions – code size, available memory, processor speed. Your goal is to output audio and video that pushes the limits of what is considered possible with such limited hardware.

If you have interest in C programming, assembly programming, graphics programming, or embedded systems programming, this is board is for you!

Hardware Specs:

• PIC24FJ256DA206
• 32Mhz, 16-bit
• 96Mhz GFX Core (CLUT, Fonts)
• 96K SRAM
• 256K FLASH
• USB/OTG
• XC16 Compiler, Assembler, Linker
• USB or EXT power (5-15V)
• 4-6 GPIO (configurable to UART, SPI, I2C)
• VGA Port: up to 16bit 5-6-5 DAC, 1-8bpp, up to 640x480
• Audio Jack: 8bit Audio DAC
• Open source
• Programmable via PIC Debug Port / Pickit3 or other compatible programmers

LayerOne is a security conference which focuses on a broad range of subjects such as networking, hardware, cryptography, and more. Within the conference, we will be hosting the LayerOne Demoparty. The purpose of this event is to allow hardware and software enthusiasts to create demos and show them off! The rules are fairly simple, draw some pixels on the screen and/or play us some music! The more impressive the pixels and/or music, the more cheering you'll receive from our wonderful audience.

It's simple, easy to program, and the possibilities are definitely limited!
