7.0″LCD Cape for Beagle Bone Black
The 4D 7.0″ LCD CAPE which features a 7.0″ TFT LCD 800×480 resolution display, is a cape specifically designed for the Beagle Bone Black (BBB). It provides a 7.0″ primary display for the BBB for direct user interaction and information display, along with the ability for additional CAPES to be attached at the same time.
The 4DCAPE-70T utilises the drivers developed for the CircuitCo LCD7 A3, however it provides a different form factor and pricing point to the LCD7.
The BBB connects directly to the back of the 4DCAPE-70T, and allows everything the CAPE requires such as power and display signals. Another CAPE can be added to the secondary connectors on the back of the module if required.
The 4D 7.0″ LCD CAPE features 7 push buttons below the screen, LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN, ENTER, RESET and POWER, along with 2 LED’s to indicate Power and User Status (normally heartbeat).
Mounting of the 4DCAPE-70T is achieved with the 4x 3.5mm mounting holes present on the CAPE, enabling standard M3 or #6-32 screws to fasten the 4DCAPE-70T as required.
Please note that the 4DCAPE-70T is designed to be the primary display for Beagle Bone Black only and cannot be programmed using 4D Systems Workshop 4 IDE
NOTE
The 4DCAPE-70T is not compatible with the previous Beagle Bone (Beagle Bone White), and can only be used with the Beagle Bone Black.
