EVM430-FR6047: Request for informative material on data exit

Part Number: EVM430-FR6047

Dear TI,

I am writing this ticket to equire about other informations regarding the module data exit modes.

I am using your product in combination with a time of ultrasonic time of flight sensor, for a high time-resolution application in a fluidic mock up of aortic vessels.

The first question is: is it "plug and play" with an arduino possibily? (maybe using the RXD - TXD ports or some other kind of port) ?

If so could you point me to any available tutorial/ documentation? (a raspberry or any other kind of unit with a microcontroller would be fine as well.

I have an arduino already implemented for pression sensing, and I would like to combine all units together.

I would like to have the video output in a unit removed from the board itself, is there any way I could buy an identical display to move somewhere else while desoldering the one you have mounted on the board? or maybe if its not for sale you could share with me an identical model or maybe even just the logic it uses for powering and driving the dispay?

  • Hi Fla,

    The module is not exactly plug and play with Arduino: You'll have to configure and calibrate the device first. Once you've done this, you can set the device to output data (dToF, aToF, VFR, etc.) using UART or another protocol. 

    The best starting guide for this is the USS Academy. You can also find a lot of helpful info on our product page.

    We do not have any tutorial and documentation for interfacing with an arduino or another device.

    About the video output: To be clear, the screen on the board is a simple LCD that displays time of flight, volume flow rate, and some other data. I would say that it is possible to buy another display and de-solder the one on the board, but beware that using long leads to connect to the LCD can lead to some issues, so it might be best to just use the one on the EVM. 

    As for the part number, it looks like it is FH-1138P, made by Adkom.

  • Thank you kindly.
