D SYSTEMS GEN4 LCD CAPES – BEAGLE BONE BLACK 1. Description 2. Features The gen4 LCD CAPE range is specifically designed for the Beagle Bone Black* (BBB), and provides a 4.3”, 5.0” or 7.0” primary display for the BBB for direct user interaction and information display. • 4.3”, 5.0” and 7.
4D SYSTEMS GEN4 LCD CAPES – BEAGLE BONE BLACK 3. Getting Started 3.1. Requirements 7. The gen4 LCD CAPE’s are designed to work with the Debian Operating System supplied for the Beagle Bone Black. It could however be adapted to work on other distributions by the User. The Requirements for use are: • GEN4 LCD Cape + Adaptor + FFC Cable • Beagle Bone Black (BBB) with suitable distribution loaded • 5V DC Supply suitable for the Beagle Bone Black (using DC Jack), recommended 2A @ 5V.
4D SYSTEMS GEN4 LCD CAPES – BEAGLE BONE BLACK Where 50 represents 50%, this can be changed to any number from 0 to 100 as required. 3.4. Calibrating resistive touch (Debian) The 4DCAPE also features the TI TPS61165 backlight drive IC, which implements a 1-wire communications protocol between the BBB and the Driver IC, enabling software commands to be sent from the BBB rather than PWM signals, to vary the backlight brightness. This results in lower noise and a more stable backlight system.
4D SYSTEMS GEN4 LCD CAPES – BEAGLE BONE BLACK 7. Optional Button Board The 4DCAPE has the option to use an external button board, for actions such as up, down, left, right, enter/return, power and reset, or as required by the User. Alternatively, any momentary push buttons can be attached, as they are simply a connection between a GPIO and GND to form the button press connection. 4D Systems provides a button board which can be used if required, and supplied/sold on request.
