1. Description

The 4D Systems Arduino* Display Module Pack (uLCD-144-G2-AR) is made up of a uLCD-144-G2 Display Module and an Adaptor to easily connect an Arduino to the 4D Systems Display.

The Pack comprises of:

 uLCD 144 G2 Display Module

 4D Arduino Adaptor Shield

 5 way Female Female Cable

The Arduino Display Module Pack enables an Arduino user to quickly connect the 4D Arduino Adaptor Shield to their Arduino, connect the 5 way cable between the Adaptor and the Goldelox powered Display Module, and be connected in seconds to start programming their new 4D Systems Display.

The Goldelox processor in the uLCD-144-G2 can be configured in a number of ways using the 4D Systems Workshop4 IDE, which enable a comprehensive range of serial commands ready to be received from the Arduino, to draw primitives such as lines, rectangles, circles and text, to displaying images, playing sound and logging data to uSD card.

Communication to the Display Module is performed via the Arduino’s hardware serial port.

A single digital on the Arduino is utilised for an external reset for the display.

Power for the display is supplied from the Arduino’s 5V bus. In most cases, no external power is required for the Display Module as all power is supplied from the Arduino, via the Adaptor Shield. The Arduino DC Jack may be required to supply the Arduino with power if the USB supply of the PC is insufficient.

In some cases, the display may be required to be powered separately to the Arduino, which the Arduino Adaptor Shield allows. Please refer to the Datasheet for the 4D Arduino Adaptor Shield for more information.

For a detailed listing of the capabilities of the display module in this Arduino Pack, please refer to the datasheet for the display itself, available from the 4D Systems website,
