CorB 64 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I am still on the watchlist to keep my reputation low To at least share my idea for this type of gear, I would use it initially as an information centre connected via RF (CC110L) to my home sensornetwork. It should be able to inform me about temperatures/movements and active energyusage. My sensornetwork should in time become more a home automation system I am sure this kind of display could also fit that bill. But for the moment I am just dreaming away ...

roadrunner84 466 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 With only one like away from 100 reputation, can I call myself counted in? /me is thinking of nice, good and fun applications for this thingy Link to post Share on other sites

bluehash 1,581 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 This came in two das back. Putting it over here for members to drool. Expect updates in this thread shortly. Thanks to 4D-Systems for sending them over. These will be passed on to members. spirilis, RobG and Fred 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I was literally just about to pull my older 4D display out of its current home (a reverse geocache I made for my nephew) to go in a new project monitoring water flow and temperature for my laser cutter. And to disable the laser if it's not running so I don't burn a hole in the back of my hand again. If I'm eligible then can I throw my name in. I was intending to prototype on the LP but then make a custom G2553 board but after my etching problems today maybe it might stay on the LP for now. If this is a booster then all the better.

Certainly. There is a possibility that I might have to send the smaller ones+1 big one to one dev, as 4D requested it. I think I just had a nerdgasm.

Rei Vilo 695 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Having a close look at the pictures, there are interesting boards that allow connections to any of the 4D Systems displays. The uLCD-32W-PTU includes the Picaso controller, with many powerful features. I explored their previous screens on serial SGC mode and developed the Serial_LCD Library Suite. The new screens feature a serial mode, but with a slightly different protocol called SPE2. But the killing feature is the ViSi-Genie environment: design a rich GUI with just clicks-and-drops! Read my review at A Genie for Your Arduino Sketch. I'd interested in the connection board with a Picaso-based screen. Link to post Share on other sites

Rei Vilo 695 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Please find my review of the 4D Systems uLCD-32WPTU with BoosterPack for Stellaris and a library for Energia. Pros All-in-one screen Only two pins required, TX and RX LCD_screen Library Suite for Energia Excellent documentation Powerful dedicated system for HMI with ViSi-Genie Cons Expensive for basic usage Workshop IDE and tools are Windows only, no Linux and no Mac OS X support Wrap-Up Powerful module with screen, touch and SD-card Excellent documentation Interesting ViSi-Genie mode for Human Machine Interface Price arbitration on total cost of board and screen vs. intended usage bluehash 1 Link to post Share on other sites
