Hi, I have been wanting to try the SD card reader and GLCD modules, I found the following tips helped.

Using the FC example in the FC7 help files " FAT display Bitmap "

Hardware I used,
ECIO40P
EB061 ECIO breakout board.
EB084 with EBM001 on port B, Jumper in Position A
EB037 on Port D, place Jumper in position B

For the EB037 the software settings for the hardware pins are mostly correct but,
Open the FC file, swap the MISO and MOSI pin settings for the FAT16 component.
MOSI = D2
MISO = D1

SD card, I used windows 10 to format the SD card.
File system: FAT (default)
Allocation unit size: 32 kilobytes
deselected 'Quick format'
Once done, copied the example BMP files into the root of the SD card.

Using a graphics package (The improved version of paint, paint.net works very well) I made my own images with a miximum pixel size of 127x158.
Play from there..

Oh..save any custom images as .BMP and in 24bit colour depth.

Great glad you're having some joy with the examples.

If you haven't already seen then there is a significant speed increase you can apply to the EBM001 display here on a PIC device.
