1. Description
The 4DLCD-FT843 is an embedded SPI display from
4D Systems, featuring a 4.3” resistive touch display
with an integrated FTDI FT800 Video Engine.
The 4DLCD-FT843 is a powerful SPI Display which
enables a SPI host to be connected directly to the
display, providing a powerful set of graphics
features to the host using the on board FTDI FT800
Video Engine.
This display provides 4 in one functionality, a 4.3"
TFT LCD Display, Audio with amplifier enable, and
Resistive Touch screen and an integrated Video
Engine. This combination built directly into the
screen allows for simple integration into a number
of applications.
The FT800 Video Engine runs the FTDI version of
EVE (Embedded Video Engine), which targets high
quality graphics displays with Widget support,
designed to offload the Host Processor and provide
a variety of graphics features.
4D Systems has designed an Arduino Compatible
Shield nicknamed ADAM (Arduino Display Adaptor
Module) to interface with the EVE driven 4DLCD-
FT843 Display, along with a simple breakout board
(4DLCD-FT843-Breakout) to attach to a generic host
or breadboard. Please refer to their product page
on the 4D Systems website, and associated
Documentation.
All software support for the 4DLCD-FT843 Display is
provided directly from FTDI. FTDI also write and
supply the libraries and demos for this
shield/display combo. Hardware support is
provided by 4D Systems.
