Serial Miniature LCD Module - 1.44" (uLCD-144-G2 GFX)

The µLCD-144-G2(GFX) is a compact and economical display module that uses the most advanced LCD (TFT) technology coupled with an integrated GOLDELOX-GFX2 graphics processor. This powerful combination provides standalone functionality to any project, with built-in features such as graphics, text, images, animations and much more.

With the µLCD-144-G2(GFX), you can start writing your code in 4DGL, a high-level 4D Graphics Language, using the 4DGL-Workshop3 IDE. This eliminates the need for weeks or even months of development time on your next embedded graphics project.

4DGL is a graphics-oriented language that lets you write applications in a high-level language with syntax similar to popular languages like BASIC, C, and Pascal. The module has a modest yet comprehensive set of I/O features that can interface with serial, analogue, digital, buttons, joystick, sound generation and Dallas 1-wire devices, making the µLCD-144-G2(GFX) one of the most flexible embedded graphics solutions available.

This module is shipped with the "GFX" firmware which can be reloaded if needed. Be aware that trying to program the 4D screens using an FTDI breakout can damage the driver. You'll need to use the FT232RQ USB to Serial which can be found in the related items.
