3.5″ DIABLO16 Display Module Pack for the Arduino

This 4D Systems Display Module Pack for the Arduino (and variants) is made up of a uLCD-35DT Display Module and an 4D Arduino Adaptor Shield to easily connect an Arduino to the 4D Systems Display.

This Display Module Pack enables an Arduino user to quickly connect the 4D Arduino Adaptor Shield to their Arduino, connect the 5 way cable between the Adaptor and the Display Module, and be connected in seconds to start programming their new 4D Systems Display.

The uLCD-35DT can be configured in a number of ways using the 4D Systems Workshop4 IDE. There are 4 programming Environments to choose from, to enable the widest range of options possible and to suit a wide range of Users and projects alike.

Communication to the Display Module is performed via the Arduino’s hardware serial port.

A single digital on the Arduino is utilised for an external reset for the display.

For a detailed listing of the capabilities of the display module in this Arduino Pack, please refer to the datasheet for the display itself, available from the Product Page of the uLCD-35DT.

For support relating to the Arduino Hardware, please refer to the Arduino Support Forum.
