A special edition of the library is included in Energia for the Educational BoosterPack MKII and the Kentec 3.5" screen, and comes as an external library for the Pervasive Displays e-paper screens, to be installed with the Libraries Manager. Watch the training video!

From Serial_LCD to LCD_screen

I've experienced a lot of fun developing the Serial_LCD Library Suite for 4D Systems screens. It is just amazing to consider that an Arduino board with a μLCD-32PT(SGC) 3.2” screen delivers more power than the initial IBM PC when it was launched back in 1981!

The new range of 4D Systems screens offers unparalleled ease of use with the ViSi-Genie environment and perfect flexibility for the rapid application development of an elaborate graphic user interface. But in most cases, a basic screen is just good enough. So it's time for a new library suite! |
