gen4-4DPi Serial Adaptor
Overview
The gen4-4DPi Serial Adaptor is a specialized interface board designed to facilitate serial communication for 4D Systems display modules when used with the Raspberry Pi. It provides a streamlined connection path to bridge the 30-way FFC cable from gen4-4DPi displays to the Raspberry Pi's GPIO header. This adaptor simplifies the integration of primary display units into SBC-based embedded systems without complex manual wiring.
Why Choose This Part
This adaptor eliminates the need for messy jumper wires by providing a direct, keyed connection between the display and the Pi. It ensures signal integrity for the high-speed serial data lines required for fluid display updates. Its compact form factor maintains a small footprint, which is critical for space-constrained industrial enclosures.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Plug the adaptor directly onto the 40-pin GPIO header of your Raspberry Pi and connect the 30-way FFC cable from your gen4-4DPi display module. Ensure the Raspberry Pi is powered off during installation and that the 4D Systems kernel drivers are installed on your Raspbian/Raspberry Pi OS image to enable the display and touch functionality.
