uLCD-220RD-PI – Raspberry Pi Display Module Pack
1. Description
The 4D Systems Round 1.38” Pi Display Module
Pack (uLCD-220RD-PI) is made up of a uLCD-220RD
Display Module and accessories specifically for the
Raspberry Pi.
The Pack comprises of:
uLCD-220RD Display Module
4D Serial Pi Adaptor
5 way Female-Female Cable
The Raspberry Pi Display Module Pack enables a
Raspberry Pi user to quickly connect the 4D Serial
Pi Adaptor to their Raspberry Pi, connect the 5
way cable between the Adaptor and the Display
Module, and be connected in seconds to start
programming their new 4D Systems Display.
The display module can be programmed in a
number of ways, using the 4D Systems Workshop
4 IDE Software. By default the display module will
come loaded with the Serial application. Please
refer to the next section of this document for
alternative configuration options.
The uLCD-220RD has a comprehensive range of
serial commands ready to be received from the
Raspberry Pi, to draw primitives such as lines,
rectangles, circles and text, to displaying images,
playing sound and logging data to uSD card. Many
more advanced features are available, see next
page.
Communication to the Display Module is
performed via the Raspberry Pi’s serial port (RX
and TX).
Power for the display is supplied from the
Raspberry Pi’s 5V bus. No external power is
required for the Display Module as all power is
supplied from the Raspberry Pi, via the Adaptor.
The 4D Serial Pi Adaptor is compatible with the A,
B and B+ versions of the Raspberry Pi.
