Does Diablo16 display modules support RS485?

2023-08-28T17:48:52+10:00Categories: , |

No. Diablo16 display modules do not directly support RS485.
However, you can use MOTG-RS485 or similar modules to connect a Diablo16 display via RS485. This will require one of the COM ports and a GPIO pin.
When using a gen4-uLCD Diablo16 display. It is advisable to use a gen4-MOTG accessory board. This allows easy connectivity with the MOTG-RS485 through Diablo16’s configurable COM port.

When using a non-gen4 uLCD Diablo16 display, a MOTG-Breadtooth can be used instead.

No. Diablo16 display modules do not directly support CANBUS.

However, you can use MOTG-CAN to connect a Diablo16 display to a CANBUS. This will require one of the configurable SPI bus.
When using a gen4-uLCD Diablo16 display, it is advisable to use a gen4-MOTG accessory board. This allows easy connectivity with the MOTG-CAN through Diablo16’s SPI.

Can I use custom displays with the Picaso processor?

2023-08-28T17:26:26+10:00Categories: , |

No, unfortunately, there are so many variants of the display driver ICs that it is difficult to have a generic PmmC file with external display settings. Picaso modules need a specific PmmC file with the display initialization settings fully built-in.

If you’re interested in using a 4D graphics processor with a custom display, please submit a ticket to contact the technical support team.
