Nokia 5110 Booster Pack

I received the bare 5110 board (new blue version) but am at a loss as to how to connect it to the actual Nokia 5110 display and the MSP430 Launchpad (piggybacked). Maybe I am missing something again (I apologize in advance) but while this link does have photos of the new blue board and a schematic, none of the component values are marked and I am not sure what the header banks J1 through J5 are since the bare board does not have any J markings. All I am looking to do is connect the display to the LaunchPad and I understand your board reroutes pins so that it works...Any help that you can provide is much appreciated thanks

[RobG 1,892]

Hope this picture will help.

The only components you need are R1 and C1 (47k and 100nF.)

 

[bluehash 1,581]

Ok i bought 2 of them mine are white and match the blue ones above.

Now first off your documation is HORRABLE i realise your not making bank on these things but it would be

nice to see links to schematics on the store page and assembly pics and parts locations with a BOM

I hate to buy things and feel the need to reverse engineer them to make them work

Hey! all you need to do is ask. You do know that the Store is a service for members that know what they are buying. Rob's pretty immediate and prompt at answering questions about schematics because of the the improvements he's made.

[RobG 1,892]

Here the schematic.The BOM depends on what you want to use it for. If you want to use it as 5110 BP, than the only components you need are R1 and C1 (47k and 100nF.) Other parts are optional and are either jumpers or standard things like 0.1uF bypass caps, or MSP's reset RC (47k/1nF.)

[RobG 1,892]

Here's the BOM

 

Required for 5110 Booster Pack & stand alone:

R8 - backlight resistor 0805 or jumper (either blob of solder or 0ohm 0805)

R1* - 47k 0805 (used to reset LCD on power up)

C1 - 0.1 0805

R2* - 47k 0805 (used to reset LCD via DC line)

*only one is required, R1 or R2

 

Required for stand alone:

IC2 - MSP430G2xxxIPW20

C3 - 0.1 0805

R9 - 47k 0805

C4 - 1nF 0805

 

optional memory (BP & SA):

IC1 - 23Kxxx or 25AAxxx SN package, 23K256-E/SN or 25AA640-I/SN for example

C2 - 0.1uF 0805

R6* - when using HOLD, 0ohm 0805 or solder, connects memory's HOLD signal with P2.4 pin

R7* - when not using HOLD, 0ohm 0805 or solder

*only one is required, R6 or R7

 

optional, alternate LCD control:

R3*, R4*, R5* - when P1.0, P1.4, or P2.3 cannot be used to control LCD, P2.0, P2.1, and P2.2 can be used. 0ohm 0805 or solder.

*do not use jumpers on J4 and/or J5 for signals which have R3, R4, or R5 populated

Be careful about the BLUE backlight versions on ebay they will not work with this board. pinout as follows

1- rst

2-ce

3-dc

4-din

5-clk

6-vcc

7-light

8-gnd

Rob, do you have an example to run the above config. I have R1, C1 soldered up. What about R3 and R5. I was going to put up a wiki page for this. Thanks!

[DickB 14]

I'm using the Nokia display and breakout board and the LCD code from the MTK3339 GPS project. I'm getting a few random dots on my display but no characters.  Bad display maybe?  More likely I am doing something wrong.  Any suggestions?

Hm - did you check your pinout?  I've seen a couple of different pinouts - they typically differ by color (blue for instance doesn't seem to be the same as Red)

[timb 15]

I just picked one of these up to go along with my new LP, but I couldn't seem to find any documentation on the wiki. I realize I need to solder up an RC for the reset (at the very least) but I'm at a bit of a loss as to what all the jumpers do since nothing is labeled. Apparently there should have been some schematics here but all of the images are broken. :-(

See here. 

Could you let me know which images were broken.

[timb 15]

Never mind, it's working now! None of the images in this thread were showing up at all.

 

So I still have a couple of questions, I noticed on the first page it's mentioned there's a way to use the board without the RC circuit, but I'm unclear which pads need to be solder bridged and which jumpers need to be set to use the display with no other components.

[RobG 1,892]

See this post for explanation and this one for the schematic.

In addition to P2.1, you can also use P1.0 to reset your LCD, but then you have to use P1.4 for SCE.

 

This reminds me that I should redo this board and use P1.0 for SCE and P1.4 for D/C.
