Designer or ViSi: GOLDELOX Serial Communication

Introduction

This codebase example shows how to read data from the serial port of a GOLDELOX display module, how to print the received data on the screen, and how to send the data back to the serial port. The attached videos show how the serial terminal utility in Workshop is used to communicate with the display module. Furthermore, the concept of buffered serial communication is illustrated. This example has two attached project files:

• serialGBasic_R_1_0.4dg - the main project file for this codebase example
• serialGBasic_R_1_01c.4dg - similar to serialGBasic_R_1_0.4dg, except that the contents of the buffer are shown

Prerequisites

This codebase example assumes the reader can program the 4D Systems display module using Workshop4 IDE ViSi or Designer environment. Beginners are advised to read the following aplication notes.

• Designer: Getting Started - First Project
• ViSi: Getting Started with GOLDELOX Displays

Instructions

1. Compile any of the projects and upload the program to a uOLED-128-G2(or any target GOLDELOX display).

2. The program should now run on the display module.

3. Use the serial terminal utility in Worskhop to talk to the display module. See the videos for more information.
