SparkFun MicroMod Input and Display Carrier Board Hookup Guide
Software Setup and Programming
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.
Everything You Should Know About HyperDisplay
February 20, 2019
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:
Library Name | Arduino Library Manager Search Term | GitHub Link | Download Link |
---|---|---|---|
HyperDisplay | SparkFun HyperDisplay | HyperDisplay GitHub | HyperDisplay Download |
HyperDisplay ILI9341 | SparkFun HyperDisplay ILI9341 Arduino Library | SparkFun HyperDisplay ILI9341 Arduino Library GitHub | SparkFun HyperDisplay ILI9341 Arduino Library Download |
HyperDisplay 4DLCD-320240 Arduino Library | SparkFun_HyperDisplay_4DLCD-320240_ArduinoLibrary | HyperDisplay 4DLCD-320240 Arduino Library GitHub | HyperDisplay 4DLCD-320240 Arduino Library Download |
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.
