The pixxiLCD -13 has the essential hardware peripherals configured for interfacing with other external devices – general purpose digital input/output, analog input, UART, and I2C. This section discusses the peripherals relevant only to the pixxiLCD embedded graphics displays. For complete information on the hardware peripherals of the PIXXI-28 graphics processor, refer to the PIXXI-28 graphics processor datasheet. 5.1. Serial Ports – TTL Level Serial The PIXXI-28 Processor has a single hardware asynchronous serial ports (COM 0), with fixed pins TX/RX. The PIXXI -28’s serial ports can be used to communicate with external serial devices and is also used for programming the PIXXI-28 itself. The primary features are:

  • Full-Duplex 8 bit data transmission and reception.
  • Data format: 8 bits, No Parity, 1 Stop bit.
  • Independent Baud rates from 300 baud up to 2187500 baud.
  • Single byte transmits and receives or a fully buffered service. The buffered service feature runs in the background capturing and buffering serial data without the user application having to constant ly poll any of the serial ports. This frees up the application to service other tasks. A single byte serial transmission consists of the start bit, 8-bits of data followed by the stop bit. The start bit is always 0, while a stop bit is always 1. The LSB (Least Significant Bit, Bit 0) is sent out first following the start bit. Figure below shows a single byte transmission timing diagram. COM0 is the programming interface for User program downloads, and PmmC programming. Once the compiled 4DGL application program (EVE byte-code) is downloaded and the user code starts executing, the serial port is then available to the user application. TX pin (Serial Transmit COM0): Dedicated Asynchronous Serial port COM0 transmit pin, TX. Connect this pin to e xternal serial device receive (RX) signal. This pin outputs at 3.3V levels. RX pin (Serial Receive COM0): Dedicated Asynchronous Serial port COM0 receive pin, RX. Connect this pin to external serial device transmit (TX) signal. This pin is 5.0V tolerant. UART Pin pixxiLCD FPC Pin TX 7 RX 8 Note: Serial ports output at the level of TTL 3.3V, however are 5V tolerant, so can accept communications from 5V devices. 5.2. General Purpose I/O The pixxiLCD-13 has three general purpose input/output (GPIO) pins available. The table below shows the allocation of the GPIO pins on the pixxiLCD flex interface. GPIO Pin pixxiLCD FPC Pin Pin Name Analog Capable IO1 7 IO1_PIN ✓ IO2 8 IO2_PIN ✓ IO3 9 IO3_PIN - GPIO pins IO1, IO2 and IO3 can be individually set as a digital input or output. The pin mode of all the pins at power-up or reset is input by default. When set as digital inputs, the pins are 3.3V tolerant. Digital GPIO pins can only source/sink 15 mA. GPIO pins IO1 and IO2 can also serve as analog input pins. The pin mode of all the pins at power-up or reset is input by default. The analog input pins have a range of 0 to 3.3V, each having a maximum 12-bit resolution.

Some of the main features of the module are listed below. 6.1. PIXXI-28 Processor The module is designed around the PIXXI-28 Graphics Controller from 4D-Labs. The pixxiLCD -13 embedded graphics display is designed around the PIXXI-28, a configurable graphics controller from 4D Systems. The PIXXI-28 can be configured to interface with many popular TFT-LCD and OLED displays. The PIXXI -28 features a configurable core and hardware layer, which allows it to support LCD modules with various SPI display drivers and touch interfaces. Supported display interfaces include 3-wire serial SPI, 4-wire serial SPI and MCU 8-bit. Additionally, it has support for touch interfaces like the 4 -wire resistive touch panel interface and capacitive touch panel interface through an I2C touch controller. The pixxiLCD -13 embedded graphics displays is configured to utilize the 3-wire serial SPI configuration of the PIXXI-28 graphics processor. The table below lists the exact PIXXI -28 configuration mode used by each variant of the pixxiLCD-13. pixxiLCD-13 Variant PIXXI-28 Configuration pixxiLCD-13P2 3-Wire SPI Display, Non-touch pixxiLCD-13P2-CTP-CLB 3-Wire SPI Display, Capacitive Touch The data sheet for the PIXXI -28 graphics processor is available from http://www.4dsystems.com.au

pixxiLCD-13 Page 9 of 21 www.4dsystems.com.au 7. Display/Module Precautions

  • Avoid having to display the same image/object on the screen for lengthy periods of time. This can cause a burn-in which is a common problem with all types of display technologies. Blank the screen after a while or dim it very low by adjusting the contrast. Better still; implement a screen saver feature.
  • Moisture and water can damage the display. Moisture on the surface of a powered display should not cause any problems; however, if water is to enter the display either from the front or from the rear, and c ontact the electronics, damage will certainly occur. Wipe off any moisture gently or let the display dry before usage. If using this display module in an environment where it can get wet, ensure an appropriate enclosure is used.
  • Dirt from fingerprint oil and fat can easily stain the surface of the display. Gently wipe off any stains with a soft lint-free cloth.
  • The performance of the display will degrade under high temperature and humidity. Avoid such conditions when storing.
  • Do not tampe r with the display flex cable or the components on the flex . This may affect the connection between the display and the driving circuitry and cause failure.
  • Displays are susceptible to mechanical shock and any force exerted on the module may result in deformed zebra stripes, a cracked display cell and broken backlight
  • Display modules have a finite life, which is typically dictated by the display itself, more specifically the backlight. The backlight contains LED’s, which fade over time. In the Specifications section is a figure for the typical life of the display, and the criteria are listed.
  • Resistive Touch model features a touch sensitive film over the display which is sens itive to pressure. Take note when mounting the display module in an enclosure tha t pressure is not applied to the surface of the display by the enclosure, or false touches will occur, or the touch will simply not function at all. 8. Hardware Tools The following hardware tools are required for full control of the pixxiLCD-13 embedded graphics display. 8.1. 4D-UPA Programming Adaptor The 4D-UPA Programming Adaptor is an essential hardware tools to program, customise and test the pixxiLCD display. This connects to the pixxiLCD dispaly through a 15- way-to-30-way cable. The 4D -UPA is used to update the PmmC and to download compiled 4DGL code into the processor. It also serves as an interface for communicating serial data to the PC. The 4D-UPA is a Universal programmer, and therefore, it may also be used for other 4D Systems products. Please refer to the 4D -UPA Datasheet fo r more information. The 4D-UPA is available from the 4D Systems website, www.4dsystems.com.au Using a non-4D programming interface could damage your processor, and void your Warranty.

pixxiLCD-13 Page 10 of 21 www.4dsystems.com.au 8.2. Interface Board The Interface boards (gen4-IB) ship with each pixxiLCD Display Module unless otherwise stated and is used to aid interfacing the serial UART to other devices such as a 4D Arduino Adaptor Shield, Serial Pi Adaptor, Breadboard, etc. It does not break out all of the signals such as the GPIO, however it provides the basics to allow communications wi th an external device using the Serial UART. Simply connect the supplied 30 way end of the 15 -to- 30 way FPC cable into the ZIF connector on the Interface Board, and the 15 way end into the PixxiLCD module. The 5 -way header on the Interface Board is then available to connect your external device. Alternatively, interfacing of the pixxiLCD display module can be done using a 15 way FPC directly to your product/project, without utilising the 15 -to-30 FPC or the Interface board supplied. This would be the most efficient solution for a final designed product. 9. Software Overview - Language The PIXXI-28 processor belongs to a family of processors powered by a highly opt imised soft-core virtual engine called EVE (Extensible Virtual Engine). EVE was designed and created by 4D Systems in the early 2000’s. EVE is a proprietary, high performance virtual - machine with an extensive byte -code instruction set optimised to execute compiled 4DGL programs. 4DGL (4D Graphics Language) was specifically developed from ground up for the EVE engine core. It is a high -level language which is easy to learn and simple to understand yet powerful enough to tackle many embedded graphics applications. 4DGL is a graphics -oriented language allowing rapid application development, and the syntax structure was designed using elemen ts of popular languages such as C, Basic, Pascal and others. Programmers familiar with these languages will feel right at home with 4DGL. It includes many familiar REPEAT..UNTIL, GOSUB..ENDSUB, GOTO, PRI NT as well as some specialised instructions SERIN, SEROUT, GFX_LINE, GFX_CIRCLE and many more. For detailed information pertaining to the 4DGL language, please refer to the following documents: 4DGL Programmers Reference Manual PIXXI-28 4DGL Internal Functions These are both available for download on the Workshop4 Product Page of the 4D Systems website. To assist with the development of 4DGL applications, the Workshop4 IDE combines a full -featured editor, a compiler, a linker and a down loader into a single PC - based application. It's all you need to code, test and run your applications. 4DGL is available to be written in two of the four environments offered by the Workshop 4 IDE, Designer and ViSi. The other two environments, Serial and ViSi-Genie do not directly use 4DGL by the User (Except in Workshop4 Pro, for ViSi -Genie), however it is present in the background. Serial is an application which runs, and that is written in 4DGL. ViSi -Genie automatically generates 4DGL itself based on what is configured in the GUI.

pixxiLCD-13 Page 11 of 21 www.4dsystems.com.au 10. 4D Systems - Workshop 4 IDE Workshop 4 is a comprehensive software ID E that provides an integrated software development platform for all of the 4D family of processors and modules. The IDE combines the Editor, Compiler, Linker and Downloader to develop complete 4DGL application code. All user application code is developed within the Workshop 4 IDE. The Workshop 4 IDE supports multiple development environments for the user, to cater for different user requirements and skill levels.

  • The Designer environment enables the user to write 4DGL code in its natural form to program the range of 4D Systems intelligent displays.
  • A visual programming experience, suitably called ViSi, enables drag -and-drop type placement of objects to assist with 4DGL code generation and allows the user to visualise how the display will look while being developed.
  • An advanced environment called ViSi-Genie doesn’t require any 4DGL coding at all, it is all done automatically for you. Simply lay the display out with the objects you want, set the events to drive them and the code is written for you automatically. This can be extended with additional features when a Workshop4 PRO license is purchased from the 4D Systems website. Extended Advanced features for Visi -Genie are available in PRO version of WS4. Further details explained in section 10.3.
  • A Serial environment (aka SPE ‘Serial Platform Environment’) is also provided to transform the display module into a slave serial module, allowing the user to control the display from any host microcontroller or device with a serial port using predefined serial commands. The Workshop 4 IDE is available from the 4D Systems website. www.4dsystems.com.au For comprehensive manual s on the Workshop 4 IDE Software, the language, and its environments, refer to the documentation from the 4D Systems website, on the Workshop 4 Product Page. 10.1. Workshop4 - Designer Choose the Designer environment to write 4DGL code in its raw form. The Designer environment provides the user with a simple yet effective programming environment where pure 4DGL code can be written, compiled and downloaded to the range of 4D Systems int elligent display modules. Designer is a very powerful environment, for those use to developing without any form of GUI aid, or for those developing complex systems where no aid is required. 10.2. Workshop4 – ViSi ViSi was designed to make the creation of graphical displays a more visual experience. ViSi is a great software tool that allows the user to see the instant results of their desired graphical layout. Additionally, there is a selection of inbuilt dials, gauges and meters that can simpl y be placed onto the simulated module display. From here each object can have its properties edited, and at the click of a button all relevant 4DGL code associated with that object is produced in the user program. The user can then write 4DGL code around these objects to utilise them in the way they choose.

pixxiLCD-13 Page 12 of 21 www.4dsystems.com.au 10.3. Workshop4 – ViSi Genie ViSi-Genie is a breakthrough in the way 4D Systems’ graphic display modules are programmed. It is an environment like no other, a code -less programming environment that provides the user with a rapid visual experience, enabling a simple GUI application to be ‘written’ from scratch in literally seconds. ViSi-Genie does all the background coding, no 4DGL to learn, it does it all for you. Pick and choose the relevant obje cts to place on the display, much like the ViSi Environment yet without having to write a single line of code. Each object has parameters which can be set, and configurable events to animate and drive other objects or communicate with external devices. Simply place an object on the screen, position and size it to suit, set the parameters such as colour, range, text, and finally select the event you wish the object to be associated with, it is that simple. In seconds you can transform a blank display int o a fully animated GUI with moving sliders, animated press and release buttons, and much more. All without writing a single line of code! ViSi-Genie provides the user with a feature rich rapid development environment, second to none. ViSi-Genie’s func tionality can be extended with the purchase of a Workshop4 PRO License. Workshop4 PRO adds a professional set of features to the Visi -Genie environment called Genie -Magic. The added features allow the user to add in 4DGL scripts, which can be activated from the display itself, from an interfacing Host, or from an external sensor or device. Workshop4 PRO also adds the ability to use SMART widgets, which are tools to assist the User to create their own Buttons, Sliders, Gauges, etc. These PRO set of features of Genie -Magic allow the User to create an immensely powerful GUI system with a fraction of the effort required by other systems. 10.4. Workshop4 – Serial The Serial environment (SPE) in the Workshop 4 IDE provides the user the ability to transform a 4D Systems Intelligent Display, into a slave serial graphics controller. This enables the user to use their favourite microcontroller or serial device as the Host, without having to learn 4DGL or program in a separate IDE. Once the display module is configured by the Serial Environment (by downloading what is called the SPE application to the module) , commands can be sent from the users host microcontroller to display primitives, images, sound and video, and can even be used to display ViSi generated graphics and widgets. The Serial Environment should not be taken as being basic in terms of its capabilities, as it has the full 4DGL command set behind it, but available from the Host rather than from programming the display module itself using the Workshop4 IDE. Virtually anything created in Designer or ViSi, can be designed or controlled from the Serial Environment. Please r efer to the “Pixxi Serial Command Set Reference Manual” from the Workshop 4 product page on the 4D Systems website for a complete listing of all the supported Serial commands

pixxiLCD-13 Page 13 of 21 www.4dsystems.com.au 10.5. PmmC Programming The PIXXI-28 processor is a custom graphics processor. All functionality including the high level commands are built into the chip. This chip level configuration is available as a PmmC (Personality-module-micro-Code) file, which can be likened to traditional Firmware. A PmmC file contains all of the low level micro -code information (analogy of that of a soft silicon) which define the characteristics and functionality of the device. The ability of programming the device with a PmmC file provides an extremely flexible method of customising as well as upgrading it with future enhancements. The Display Driver is located inside the PmmC for pixxi- 28 and contains the initialisation and parameters associated with the particular display that is to be connected to the PIXXI-28 processor, along with product specific settings and parameters which are required over and above what is found in the PmmC. The PmmC file can only be programmed into the device with the aid of Workshop 4, the 4D Systems IDE software, or its supporting tools. Solutions, which remove the need to use Workshop4 to program the display, are available for commercial customers requiring batch programming or production line programming. These solutions are practical for production staff to minimize the chance of unwanted or unauthorised modifications on the production line. Three solutions come with the Workshop4 IDE, which can be separated out for production line computers if required, ScriptC, PmmC Loader and Program Loader. ScriptC is a command line interface which can be controlled from a Batch Script or similar, useful for repetitive loading or when controlled from an external application. Example scripts are provided, showing how to load PmmC, Display Drivers and Applications using a batch script. PmmC Loader is a GUI interface designed to download PmmC’s and Drivers to 4D Systems Processor. It has the ability to automatically update existing PmmC’s and Drivers present on a module, or to manually change or force download to a blank processor or module, overwriting anything written in previously. Program Loader is a GUI interface designed to download Applications to either Flash or RAM, useful for testing or production loading, without the need for Workshop4 itself. Please contact our Support Team for more information on what we can provide. Some solutions also exist for external processor based loading, if there is a requirement for that. This solution is available under NDA. Using a non-4D programming interface could damage your module, and void your Warranty.
