-The Pmod MTDS has an on-board PIC32MZ microncontroller that is running the MTDS firmware. To communicate with the device, you must use the MTDS and MyDisp libraries available and documented on the [[software:mtds:start|MTDS resource center]]. Arduino and chipKIT host boards should use the Arduino IDE libraries, and Xilinx FPGA or Zynq based host boards should use the Pmod MTDS IP core and the libraries included with it. For information on downloading and using the Pmod MTDS IP core see the [[https://reference.digilentinc.com/learn/programmable-logic/tutorials/pmod-ips/start|Using Pmod IPs Tutorial]]. After exporting to Xilinx SDK, follow the README.txt guide included in the examples folder.+The Pmod MTDS has an on-board PIC32MZ microncontroller that is running the MTDS firmware.

 JP1 is used to select how to power the display's backlight. A single jumper should be loaded across 2 of the three pins in order to select the power source. When the jumper is loaded across the bottom 2 pins the backlight is powered by VCC on the Pmod connector, and when it is loaded across the top two pins the backlight is powered by an external power supply attached to J2. This external power supply must meet the minimum and maximum voltage requirements outlined in the Specifications table above.  JP1 is used to select how to power the display's backlight.
