Well. this is an old design, so it uses 5 Volts.interface. (preliminary data sheet from 2003) The I/O on a Pocket-Beagle is 3.3 Volts. You have to figure out how you will deal with that.
It is a common 2 line LCD interface, so lots of sample code examples out there, but none ported to the PocketBeagle that I have seen. You need to decide whether you will use the 4 data line interface, or the 8 data line interface version of the interface. Although it is a common interface, it does not correspond to any of the hardware peripherals built into the PocketBeagle, so you will need to bit bang the interface on seven or eleven GPIO lines. You will need to give us a clue as to which language you will be programming in, when you re-write the driver from sample code you can find. --- Graham == On Sunday, April 1, 2018 at 8:59:57 PM UTC-5, [email protected] wrote: > > I am planning to interface this 16x2 LCD (datasheet: > https://focuslcds.com/product/16x2-rgb-character-lcd-c162albfgs16wt55pab) > from focusLCDs.com to the Pocket Beagle. > > But I don't know where to start. > > Thanks and I am looking forward to your help. > -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
