With serial communication speeds of up to 115.2kbps, I2C up to 100kbps, and a convenient rear mounting point, the Enclosure Series provides the perfect interface solution for any project. The simple command structure permits easy software control of many settings including backlight brightness, screen contrast, and baud rate. User input on is available through a built-in, backlit seven key tactile keypad. Three bi-colour LEDs provide visual outputs on each model, a buzzer on the GLK model provides audio feedback, and the terminal block provides a flexible interface. For the LK model, on board memory provides up to forty custom characters which can be saved within the unit and recalled for start screens, bar graphs or larger numbers. And the GLK provides a whopping 256KB for customizable fonts and bitmaps to enhance the graphical user experience. The versatile Enclosure Series, with all the features mentioned above, is available in a variety of colour and material options to suit almost any application.

Voltage is applied through pins one and four while pins two and three are reserved for serial or I2C transmission. This versatile header can be connected to a variety of cables for a simple interface to any host.

Voltage is applied through pins one and four while pins two and three are reserved for serial or I2C transmission. Pins five and six can be used for optional hardware flow control using a serial protocol only.

Red, green, and orange-yellow colours can be created using these software controlled GPOs. Odd numbered GPOs control red while even numbers switch the green aspects of the LEDs, as shown in the table to the right.

The keypad can also be configured for typematic or auto-repeating key presses. The keypad is scanned only when pressed to reduce electrical noise and decrease latency to ensure key input is received quickly and correctly every time.

Disconnect power from your display. 2. Hold down the bottom left button. 3. Reconnect power and wait for the start screen before releasing the button. 4. Set and save all pertinent settings. Parameter Value Backlight 255 Contrast 128 Baud Rate 19200 Table 4: Manual Override Settings Commands An extensive list of commands and additional display information* can be found in the LK204-7T-1U and GLK19264A-7T-1U display manuals at www.matrixorbital.ca/manuals. Quick Connect Serial Connections The serial interface provides a classic connection for RS232 or TTL development. 1. Set the Protocol Select jumpers.  RS232: Connect the three jumpers** in the 232 protocol box with the zero ohm jumper resistors provided or an alternate wire or solder solution.  TTL: Connect the two jumpers** in the TTL protocol box. 2. Make the connections.  Disassemble the enclosure by removing four Phillips screws at the corners of the case.  Locate the green Communication/Power terminal block, and insert cable wires**, up to 17 AWG solid or 18 AWG stranded, using the Com/Power Pinout.  Tighten the M1.6 screws of the terminal block to secure the wires and assemble the enclosure. 3. Create.  Use uProject or a terminal program to get started, and then move on with your own development. A number of application notes are available at www.matrixorbital.ca/appnotes. I2C Connections A more advanced connection for micro-controller applications is provided by the I2C interface. 1. Set the Protocol Select switches.  I2C: Ensure that the two I2C jumpers** in the corresponding protocol box are connected. 1. Make the connections.  Disassemble the enclosure by removing four Phillips screws at the corners of the case.  Locate the green Communication/Power terminal block, and insert cable wires***, up to 17 AWG solid or 18 AWG stranded, using the Com/Power Pinout.  Tighten the M1.6 screws of the terminal block to secure the wires and assemble the enclosure. 2. Create.  This time you're on your own. While there are many examples within the Matrix Orbital AppNote section, www.matrixorbital.ca/appnotes, too many controllers and languages exist to cover them all. If you get stuck in development, it is possible to switch over to another protocol on the standard board, and fellow developers are always on our forums for additional support. *Note: Internal headers other than the Comm/Power Connector are not available for the Enclosure Series. **Note: Jumpers must be removed from all protocol boxes save for the one in use. ***Note: Matrix Orbital can design a custom cable for your enclosure, please contact sales for information. 5 Troubleshooting Display If your display is powered successfully, the Matrix Orbital logo, or user created screen should display on start up. If this is not the case, check out these tips. • • • Check that power to your device is wired correctly using the Com/Power Pinout. Ensure the contrast is not too high or too low and that the backlight is on. See the Manual Override section to reset these values to default. It is possible to overwrite the Matrix Orbital logo start screen, if this happens the screen may be blank. Try writing to the display to ensure it is functional, after checking the contrast above. Communication When communication of either text or commands is interrupted, try the steps below. • • • • Check that the communication lines are wired correctly using the Com/Power Pinout. Ensure that the host system and display module are both communicating on the same serial baud rate or I2C address. The defaults are 19200bps and 0x50 respectively. Unlock the display. See the Set and Save Data Lock command for more info. Finally, the display can be reset to defaults using the Manual Override procedure above.
