uOLED-96-PROP

 

                 





The µOLED-96-PROP is an extremely compact and a cost effective ready to go 'drop in' embedded display module that will deliver ‘stand-alone’ functionality to your project.

The module represents a unique combination of a powerful micro controller, the Propeller chip from Parallax Inc, a 0.96” 96x64 pixel 65K full colour OLED display and a micro-SD memory card socket capable of supporting up to 2GB of storage; all in an incredibly tiny 27mm X 23mm package.

The module is designed to provide your projects with integrated functionality right out of the box.

          Introductory price USD $79.95 each  plus shipping & handling

FLASH UPDATE:I will have a limited number of units (20-25 from a limited production run of 100) available for shipment by the end of next week (10/5). These units will be offered on a first-come-first-served basis at the introductory price above. When they're gone, the List Price will go to USD $89.95 and I will not accept pre-orders for full-production units that are 4-6 weeks away. These units are probably NOT collector's items, but who knows?

10/09/07 - 25 displays delivered late yesterday, first orders shipped today. Fewer than 20 displays remain at the introductory price above.

The µOLED-96-PROP allows you to leverage the extensive library of Propeller Objects already written, to make the module into a complete project in record time. The µOLED-96-PROP is supplied with a prototype SPIN Object that handles the display initialization and provides sample Methods for low-level graphics functions. It is intended as a shell, into which, you can further program and develop the functionality that you need for your project design.

FEATURES

TheµOLED-96-PROP module is aimed at being integrated into a variety of different applications facilitating the designer to quickly and cost effectively complete a product and thus reduce ‘time to market’. The module can also be used as a tiny development environment to explore the features of the Propeller chip and the OLED display technology.

 

§  Propeller chip based design.

§  96 x 64 pixel resolution, 256 or 65K true to life colour OLED screen.

§  0.96” size diagonal OLED display. Module Size: 32.7 x 23 x 5.2mm.

§  No backlighting with near 180° viewing angle.

§  Low power design. Voltage supply from 3.3V to 6.3V external DC source.

§  Simple 5 pin interface provides the programming interface and power to the

  Propeller chip, the OLED display and the µSD memory card.

§  Four General Purpose Propeller I/O pins (plus dedicated Rx and Tx) available for

  interfacing additional devices.

§  A single straight 10 pin male header provides access to power, programming

  interface and I/O pins.

§  Application boards can be piggy-backed via the 10 pin header for an overall

  very small and low profile design.

§  Onboard micro-SD (µSD) memory card adaptor can be used for storing Propeller

  programs, icons, images, animations, movie clips as well as data logging.  64Mb

  to 2Gig µSD memory cards can be purchased separately.

§  Optional USB to Serial interface via the 4D micro-USB, µUSB-MB5 or

  µUSB-CE5 modules.

           * * * Please read Steve's note below about the CE5 * * *

§  Compatible with the Propeller Tool IDE for programming and user application

  development.

§  Direct control of display functions using SPIN or Propeller Assembler code.

A note from Steve:

HI. I don't normally actively promote an optional product or accessory

(it's too much like selling and I don't like selling), but I will make an

exception when it comes to the uUSB-CE5. This product was designed

from the ground up to be the PERFECT companion to the uOLED-96-PROP display.

It's small, it's cute and there's not a bit of wasted space or materials. It was

designed not only with the uOLED-96-PROP display in mind, but also its user.

 

The CE5 can be used to program the embedded Propeller chip on the display, load

images onto the uSD card using the 4D Graphics Composer and power the display

to run the Propeller programs from any USB port. And you don't need a special

cable either, you can use a standard USB A male to A female extension cable or

you can plug it directly into a USB port on a PC or USB hub.

 

If you're already a Propeller user, then you probably already have a Prop Plug or

Prop Clip. The CE5 uses the same USB to serial chip so the drivers you need are

already installed. As a bonus, there is an alternate interface pin configuration on

the "bottom" of the CE5 PCB. If you look at the pinout, you'll see that it looks

suspiciously like the 4 pin interface for the Propeller, plus a 5th pin that brings

+5V to your projects. Simply solder a second 5 pin female header on the

bottom of the board (there is room for two headers, by design) and you have a

dual purpose USB to serial bridge for less than either of the previous offerings

from 4D or Parallax.    Steve
