uLCD-35DT-AR – Arduino Display Module Pack
1. Description
The 4D Systems Arduino* Display Module Pack is
made up of a uLCD-35DT Display Module and an
Adaptor to easily connect an Arduino to the 4D
Systems Display.
The Pack comprises of:
uLCD-35DT 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 Display
Module, and be connected in seconds to start
programming their new 4D Systems Display.
The uLCD-35DT 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,
