3.3 Recommended Parts
Serial Communication
The most common cable choice for the any GTT display, the Extended
Communication/ Power Cable offers a simple connection to the unit with
familiar interfaces. A DB9 and floppy power header provide all necessary
input to communicate to and power your display.
Figure 3: ESCCPC5V
I2C Communication
For a more flexible interface to the GTT, especially with the I2C protocol,
a Breadboard Cable may be used. This provides a simple four wire
connection that is popular among developers for its ease of use in a
breadboard environment.
Figure 4: BBC
USB Communication
The External Mini-B USB Cable is recommended for USB communication.
It will connect to the Mini-B style header on the unit and provide a

Some advanced applications may prefer the straight four pin connection offered through the optional
Alternate Mass Storage Header. The Alternate Mass Storage Header may be added to the GTT50A as
part of a custom order. Please use the Contact section to reach Sales for additional details.
Mass Storage Mode
Placing a jumper on the USB mass storage selector labelled ”A”, the unit will appear to any PC as a mass
storage device when powered, giving you access to the contents of the SD memory card directly.
Please note, the speed of data transfers in mass storage mode is limited, and is only intended to be used
in situations where an external SD memory card reader is not available.
SD Memory Card
The SD Memory Card is used to store all user fonts, bitmaps, 9-slices, animations and start-up settings.
The start-up settings are stored in a binary file called AUTOEXEC. This file contains a simple stream of
characters stored just as they would be if they were sent to the display at runtime, this will store all the
commands to change the initial settings for your application. Start-up settings are stored in this location
alone; therefore, simply removing the AUTOEXEC file will restore the display to factory defaults.
Please refer to the Protocol Manual at http://www.matrixorbital.ca/manuals/GTT Series/ for a complete
list of available commands executable not only at start up but runtime as well.

Each can source up to 15mA of current at five volts when on, or sink 15mA at zero volts when off. The
two row, fourteen pin header can be interfaced to a number of female connectors to provide control to
any peripheral devices required.
4.9 Keypad Header
To facilitate user input, the GTT50A provides a Keypad Connector which allows a matrix style keypad of
up to twenty-five keys to be directly connected to the display module. Key presses are generated when
a short is detected between a row and a column. When a key press is generated, a character specific to
that key press is automatically sent on the Tx communication line. If the display module is running in I²C
mode, the key press will remain in the buffer until it is accessed using the display read address.

The character that is associated with each key press may be altered using the “Assign Key Codes”
command. The straight twelve pin header of the Keypad Interface Connector will interface to a variety
of different devices including the Matrix Orbital KPP4x4 keypad.
*Note: If connecting a relay, be sure that it is fully clamped using a diode and capacitor in order to absorb any
electro-motive force (EMF) which will be generated.
**Note: The Ground / +5V pin is toggled by the jumper to the right of the keypad connector. Jump pads 1 & 2 for
+5V or 2 & 3 for GND.

5 Troubleshooting
5.1 Power
To function correctly, the GTT50A must be supplied with the appropriate power. If the power LED near
the top right corner of the board is not illuminated, power is not applied correctly. Try the tips below.
GTT devices have specific power requirements. Ensure the correct voltage and sufficient
current are available to your device by consulting the Power Consumption table.
Check the power cable which you are using for continuity. If you don't have an ohm meter,
try using a different power cable, if this does not help try a different power supply.
Check the power connector in use on your display. If the connector has become loose or
you are unable to resolve the issue, please use the Contact section to reach a friendly Matrix
Orbital support representative.
5.2 Display
If your display is powered successfully with an AUTOEXEC file present, the Matrix Orbital logo or user
specified screen should display briefly on start up. If this is not the case, check out these tips.
If any start-up issues are encountered, it is recommended that you remove the AUTOEXEC
file from the SD card to allow the unit to start with factory defaults.
5.3 Communication
When communication of either text or commands is interrupted, try the steps below.
First, check the communication cable for continuity. If you don't have an ohm meter, try
using a different communication cable. If you are using a PC try using a different Com Port.
In USB protocol, ensure that a connection is made to the header labelled USB, not Mass
Storage and check that the mode selection jumper is not placed on the “A” side.
In serial protocol, ensure that the host system and display module are both communicating
on the same baud rate. The default baud rate for the display module is 115,200 bps.
Match Rx from the display to the transmit pin from your host and the Tx pin to receive.
If you are communicating to the display via I²C* please ensure that the data is being sent to
the correct address. The default slave address is decimal 80 (0x50 hex).
In I2C mode, connect SDA to the data line of your controller and SCL to the clock output.
5.4 Factory Defaults
If the settings of your display become altered in a way that dramatically impacts usability, the default
settings can be restored simply by removing the AUTOEXEC file in the memory card’s root directory. This
will remove the start screen and reset the baud rate to 115,200. If the Matrix Orbital start screen is
desired, default files are available at www.matrixorbital.ca/manuals/GTT_Series/GTT_Example_Files.
*Note: I²C communication will always require pull up resistors on SCL and SDA of one to ten kilohms.
