Other Parts Discussed in Thread: EK-TM4C123GXL

Hai,

I want to connect a LCD display to this Texas Instruments board(Launch Pad  EK-TM4C123GXL).

Which LCD display/LCD booster pack, do u reccommend me to buy? What is the maximum display size, which goes well with this board.

Please reply

Thanks in Advance

  • Hello Anup,

    The following booster pack is the suggested one.

    Please note that the supporting driverlib and graphics library will be available in the next TivaWare release.

  • what are the other suggested options .... Please reply
  • Hello Anup,

    You can use the DK-TM4C123G which has an on board 128x96 OLED display panel and drivers.

  • Hai,

    Thank you so much for replying. I am writing more specifically.

    I have purchased the Launch Pad EK-TM4C123GXL. I have connected it to my circuits. I want to display my waveforms on the LCD display.

    I am looking for a LCD display booster pack.

    I want an LCD display board, which is compatible with this boards.
  • Hello Anup

    As I mentioned the earlier boosterpack is compatible but the driver software will not be officially available till the next TivaWare release. You can however use the Forum Search as in the past folks may have posted code for the driver.

  • Hi Amit,

    Thank you for the quick reply, i have couple of questions regrading this Display pack and the libraries available,

    1. Can i directly plug this Display Booter Pack into my Launch Pad EK-TM4C123GXL, let me rephrase, is it just like plug and play like Arduino Display-Shield.

    2.Aren't there libraries already for this Display Booter Pack that i can use to develop, i didn't quite understand what you meant when you mentioned "Please note that the supporting driverlib and graphics library will be available in the next TivaWare release.", can you please be little more elaborate.
    I am little confused because if there are no drivers, the i'll not be able to develop anything cause the Launch Pad EK-TM4C123GXL will not be able to recognize it.
    And can you also specify when is the next TivaWare release.

    3. Is Launch Pad EK-TM4C123GXL compatible with Arduino Display-Shield(www.adafruit.com/.../1651), or any Arduino Shield's, will the Arduino's libraries be compatible?

    Can you please answer my questions.

    Thanking you
    Anup.
  • Hello Anup

    1. Yes, the display booster pack is direct plug and play with EK-TM4C123GXL
    2. The existing library is for the parallel version of the display panel. However it seems that the manufacturer has replaced it with the serial version, making the parallel one having 3-4 months of lead time compared to a few days for the serial one. That is why we have begun the transition to the serial one as well. But since we do not make 2-3 releases in a year, there is no existing qualified library yet in TivaWare. But I have tested the new files with the serial version of the panel and it is working. But then I cannot release it unilaterally as the team has to test it on independent setup to validate my work.
    3. You would need to check for compatibility with Arduino Display shield and the pin map on the boosterpack header.
