4D SYSTEMS uOLED-160-G2-AR

1. Description

The 4D Systems Arduino* Display Module Pack
(uOLED-160-G2-AR) is made up of a uOLED-160-G2
Display Module and an Adaptor to easily connect
an Arduino to the 4D Systems Display.

The Pack comprises of:

 uOLED-160-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 uOLED-160-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,
