Ell C Introduction

Introducing the SparkFun MicroMod Input and Display Carrier Board! This nifty little board works with all SparkFun MicroMod processors so you can create your own display with one of a multitude of processors.

The carrier board includes 6 APA102 Addressable LEDs, 6 Input Buttons, Onboard Voltage Regulation, 2.4" TFT Display Screen, IO Connector, and a Buzzer. In addition, there's a microSD card slot to store and read data.

Let's dive in and see what we can do!

Required Materials

Like all of our MicroMod Carrier Boards, there is no processor included but instead you can plug in a processor board of your choice to the MicroMod M.2 connector on the carrier. Below are a few options to choose for your processor:

If you are not familiar with the MicroMod system, take a look here:

We also recommend taking a look through the following tutorials if you are not familiar with the concepts covered in them:

Getting Started with MicroMod

Dive into the world of MicroMod - a compact interface to connect a microcontroller to various peripherals via the M.2 Connector!

Designing with MicroMod

This tutorial will walk you through the specs of the MicroMod processor and carrier board as well as the basics of incorporating the MicroMod form factor into your own PCB designs!

Hardware Overview

In this section we'll cover the various hardware and sensors included on the MicroMod Input & Display Carrier Board.

Common Components

Most SparkFun MicroMod Carriers will have some common components and all MicroMod Carriers will have the keyed M.2 MicroMod Connector to plug your processor into. The photo and list below outline some of the components you can expect on most SparkFun MicroMod Carriers.

M.2 MicroMod Connector - This special keyed M.2 connector lets you install your MicroMod Processor of choice on your Input & Display Carrier Board.
USB-C Connector - Connect to your computer to program your Processor and also can provide power to your MicroMod system.
3.3V Regulator - Provides a regulated 3.3V and sources up to 1A.
Qwiic Connector - The standard Qwiic connector so you can add other Qwiic devices to your MicroMod system.
Boot/Reset Buttons - Push buttons to enter Boot Mode on Processor boards and to Reset your MicroMod circuit. More information needed - LAC
microSD Slot - Insert a microSD card for reading and writing data.

Power

The Input and Display Carrier Board takes an input voltage range from 2.7V - 6V via the USB-C connector. We've incorporated a power regulation circuit that caps the voltage for power sensitive circuits and the Qwiic connector.

Input & Display Carrier Board Specific Components ATTiny84

We've populated this carrier board with Atmel's ATtiny84 with 8kB of programmable flash. This little guy is preprogrammed to communicate with the processor over I²C to read button presses.

TFT Display

4DLCD's 24320240-IPS is a color active matrix LCD module incorporating amorphous silicon TFT (Thin Film Transistor). The module display area measures 2.4" and contains 240 x 320 pixels.

Note: IPS displays have higher display quality, better colors, and much better viewing angles than their non-IPS counterparts.

LEDs

The Input and Display Carrier Board has 6 Addressable APA102 LEDs.

Input Buttons

Button button, who's got the button? We do! We have two input buttons (A and B), and a 5 way switch that allows you to navigate a UI or play an onboard game.

JTAG Debugging

We've populated the JTAG footprint for more advanced users who need breakpoint level debugging. We recommend checking out our JTAG section for the compatible JTAG programmer and debugger.

Jumpers I²C Jumper

If you are daisy-chaining multiple Qwiic devices, you will want to cut this jumper; if multiple sensors are connected to the bus with the pull-up resistors enabled, the parallel equivalent resistance could create too strong of a pull-up for the bus to operate correctly. As a general rule of thumb, disable all but one pair of pull-up resistors if multiple devices are connected to the bus. To disable the pull up resistors, use an X-acto knife to cut the joint between the two jumper pads highlighted below.

PWR Jumper

Cutting this jumper will disable the "Power" LED on the front of the board.

3V3CTRL Jumper

Many of the MicroMod carrier boards have an RTC backup battery on board and as part of the standardized voltage regulation circuit we include a 3V3 jumper that, when closed, allows you to control the 3V3 control regulator. This shuts down everything on the 3V3 rail but the battery keeps the processor awake. The Input and Display Carrier Board does not have a backup battery, so this jumper should remain open.

BYP Jumper

If you really, really, REALLY need more power, closing this jumper will bypass the 2A fuse. Close at your own risk!

Measure Jumper

Want to measure the juice running through your circuits? Cut the trace between these PTH pads in order to measure the current with a Digital MultiMeter.

PinOuts Note:

You may not recognize the COPI/CIPO labels for SPI pins. SparkFun is working to move away from using MISO/MOSI to describe signals between the controller and the peripheral. Check out

The Input and Display Carrier Board measures 3.25 inches by 2.25 inches.

Hardware Hookup

To get started with the Input and Display Carrier Board, you'll need a processor board. Here we are using the MicroMod ESP32 Processor Board.

Align the top key of the MicroMod ESP32 Processor Board to the screw terminal of the Input and Display Carrier Board and angle the board into the socket. Insert the board at an angle into the M.2 connector.

Note: There is no way to insert the processor backward since the key prevents it from mating with the M.2 connector and as an extra safeguard to prevent inserting a processor that matches the key, the mounting screw is offset so you will not be able to secure an improperly connected processor board.

The Processor Board will stick up at an angle, as seen here:

[

Once the board is in the socket, gently hold the MicroMod Processor Board down and tighten the screw with a Phillip's head.

Once the board is secure, your assembled MicroMod system should look similar to the image below!

Connecting Everything Up

With your processor inserted and secured it's time to connect your carrier board to your computer using the USB-C connector on the Carrier. Depending on which carrier you choose and which drivers you already have installed, you may need to install drivers.

Note:

Make sure that for whatever processor board you choose, you have the correct board definitions installed.

For this particular tutorial, we are using the MicroMod ESP32 Processor Board. Board definitions for this processor board can be found in the Software Setup and Programming section of the MicroMod ESP32 Processor Board Hookup Guide.

If you are using a different processor board, go to our MicroMod Processor Boards landing page, find your processor board, and head on over to that tutorial for help installing your board definition.

Software Setup and Programming Note:

This example assumes you are using the latest version of the Arduino IDE on your desktop. If this is your first time using Arduino, please review our tutorial on

installing the Arduino IDE.

If you have not previously installed an Arduino library, please check out our

installation guide.

To get started, you're going to want to get familiar with our HyperDisplay libraries. HyperDisplay is an abstracted library for pretty much any 2D graphics display and has a focus on extensibility. Since the interface is standardized you can write display applications just once and make them work on many different displays with a few small changes. If you want to go more in depth check out this HyperDisplay tutorial.

To use HyperDisplay with this carrier board, you will need to have all three of the following libraries installed in your Arduino IDE. You can head on over to the individual GitHub pages to download or simply click the appropriate link for each of the libraries listed below:

Check out this tutorial on how to install an Arduino library if you are unfamiliar.

Each of the libraries above contain some examples, however the ones that will actually make your Input and Display Carrier Board light up are contained in the 'HyperDisplay 4DLCD-320240 Arduino Library' -- in case you are wondering, that name comes from the name of the display module that is used on the board. Once your libraries have been installed move on to the next section and try out a few of the examples.

Example Code

The HyperDisplay library for the Input and Display Carrier Board is named after the LCD module that it uses - the 4DLCD-320240. If you've properly installed the required libraries, you'll notice a number of examples in File->Examples->SparkFun HyperDisplay 4DLCD-320240. If you haven't already, make sure you've got the following three libraries installed:

All of the following examples are explained in depth in the Everything You Should Know About HyperDisplay Tutorial. We'll show you a quick overview of each example here, but if you want more information on how these examples and their code work, head on over to the HyperDisplay Tutorial.

Note: The display's colors are inverted from the standard ILI9341 driver library. If you're using the HyperDisplay libraries, this is taken care of in the HyperDisplay 4DLCD-320240. But if you prefer using a different ILI9341 library, no hard feelings, but you will have to run that library's invert display function in order for the colors to display like you expect. .

Example 1: Display Test

Example one verifies that your display is working, and gives you some basic code to draw lines and shapes. To start, go to File->Examples->SparkFun HyperDisplay 4DLCD-320240 and load Example1_DisplayTest. In windows, it will look like this:
