The module defaults to a 4 line of 30 character display using the 5x7 font with single pixel
spacing. The cursor position auto increments after each character write. The bottom left of a
character is placed at the cursor x,y. The M(odule) Busy line indicates the module is busy
when high. Connect the H(ost) Busy input to the MBusy to disable handshaking. Use the
button to select the configuration which is then stored in EEPROM. To send commands as
hexadecimal, prefix the 2 bytes using character 60H. Example: `10`3F`01 = Position dot x=64
y=1. To send character 60H to the display, send 60H twice.

NORITAKE ITRON VFD MODULES
GU180x32D-K610A4
Dot Graphic VFD Module
GU180x32D-K610A4
GU180x32D-K610A4 SETUP
The VFD module features two serial ports (synchronous & asynchronous) and a parallel port, all interfaces are TTL compatible. Interface
selection/set-up can be made using the single push button switch on the back of the module. Pressing the switch for the first time will display the
initial configuration menu. On each subsequent switch press the menu pointer will advance. The current menu item will be selected if the switch is
not pressed within 2 seconds.
To select the required interface, press the switch until the ‘COMMS’ item has been selected.
Wait 2 seconds for the communication menu to be displayed. Press the switch until the required
interface is selected. The factory default interface is SPI.
Wait another 2 seconds to display the related communication settings. The current configuration is
displayed first.
Interface selection example.
SYNCHRONOUS SERIAL COMMUNICATION
With synchronous communications enabled, data can be clocked into the VFD module using the rising or falling edge of SCK. This is selectable by
the push switch on the rear of the module, which also sets the data order. By default, data is clocked in on the rising edge with the most significant
bit sent first. The host must provide adequate delays for the module to process the data, these busy times are specified in the software command
section. Alternatively the host can monitor the MB (Module Busy) line.

The use of the /SS line is optional, and can be permanently pulled

ASYNCHRONOUS SERIAL COMMUNICATION
The asynchronous communication speed and parity can be set with the push switch on the rear of the module, or with the ‘UART SETUP’
command. The default settings are 19200 baud with no parity. Again the host most provide adequate delays for the module to process the
command and data. The module busy line (MB) will go high when data is currently being processed.

PARALLEL COMMUNICATION
The 8 I/O lines can be configured as a slow parallel interface. Data on PA0-7 is clocked into the module with the Enable line, this can be set to
either a rising or falling edge trigger by the push switch on the back of the module. The host must keep the data stable for the time period indicated
in the timing diagram. The module busy line (MB) can be used in parallel communication mode.

RESET TIMING
>50ns
/RES
The module is reset when a low-level signal is applied to the /RES line. This will cause the
module to clear the display, initialise the communication settings and set all power-up
defaults. During this initialisation period, the user must delay any transmission to the module.

DATA
I/O level change interrupt.
KEYBOARD CONTROL
All 8 I/O lines can be configured to scan a key matrix with up to 16 keys. The 1BH + 4BH command will configure the I/O lines to key scan
mode. The I/O port status will indicate the row/column position of the pressed key. The ENABLE line acts as hardware scan enable input, and
should be tied to ground.
The following example enables the key-scanning mode and the automatic I/O send when
using asynchronous communications.

On each key press, the I/O port status will be sent out of the asynchronous
communication port. e.g. pressing key switch 1, the module will send 03H to the host
system.
When using synchronous serial communication, the /IRQ line will indicate when a key
has been pressed, the host should then issue a ‘Read Port’ command to determine the
I/O port status.

The module contains simple Input and Output functions for the 8 I/O lines (PA0-PA7). All inputs include an

The following example sets up the I/O lines to control the 2 LED’s and provide a pull-up resistor for the

With asynchronous communications enabled, the status of PA0-PA7 can be transmitted when a change in

DISPLAYING TEXT

The module contains 3 font sizes, a proportional mini-font, 5x7 pixel, and a 10x14 pixel font.
Characters of any size can be written to any part of the display. All data sent to the module from
20H to FFH is treated as character data. Characters are positioned above the current cursor
position, see Fig1. Each character written will include a one pixel space on the right side of the
character. After each character is written to the display, the cursor position is automatically
advanced. If the cursor position reaches the end of the display, the host must reposition to the
next line.

WRITE MODES
By default, display data that is overwritten will be cleared prior to displaying any new data. This display data can be maintained whilst writing by
selecting the ‘OR’ mode with the ‘Write Mode’ command, this will effectively merge the old data with the new. The ‘AND’ write mode will only display
written data if existing data is present on the display. The other ‘Write Mode’ is ‘XOR’ which can be useful for writing text on an inverted display.
The following example uses the XOR mode to write text on a full display.

A string of data and commands can be sent to the module and stored in non-volatile EEPROM by using the macro feature. This string of data and
commands can then be executed by using just one command. Up to 8 macros can be used at any one time, one of these is executed at power-up.
This example uses the first macro (Macro 0) to display an initial message at power-up.

EEPROM PROTECTION
The EEPROM contains information such as macro data, asynchronous communication settings and I/O configuration. So it is important to protect
this information from stray commands due to communication failures. To protect the EEPROM, the module contains a ‘EEPROM Lock’ command
(1BH + 4CH). Once this command is issued, no further EEPROM updates can be made until it is unlocked (1BH + 55H). This feature is also
accessible from the set up menu, using the push button switch on the rear of the module.
USING THE CHECKSUM
All data written to the module is added to an internal checksum. The lower 8-bits of this checksum can be read at any time from the module by the
host system to confirm accurate data transfer. It is up to the user if or when this feature should be used. The checksum is cleared at power-up and
after each checksum read.
Example: Read checksum at power-up, or directly after it has been cleared.
