2. Advanced Hardware Options
The display module uLCD-70DT is a very capable and powerful piece of hardware, which can be reconfigured
beyond the boundaries of the Arduino. It features a powerful Diablo16 Processor, and can be configured to run
as a standalone system if required. For detailed information on the uLCD-70DT display module, please refer to
its Product Page on the 4D Systems website, where additional documentation can be downloaded.
With the use of the 4D Systems Workshop4 IDE Software, the display module can be configured and
programmed independently of the Arduino environment if required.
If a user wishes to investigate the capabilities of the uLCD-70DT and reconfigure the display module, please
refer to the Datasheet for the uLCD-70DT, available from the 4D systems website, www.4dsystems.com.au.
The user can freely change back to the configuration the module was shipped in if desired, all via the
Workshop4 IDE Software.
To take advantage of the 4D Systems Workshop4 Software, a 4D Programming Cable is required, which can be
purchased from the 4D Systems website, or from a 4D Systems distributor.
The Workshop4 IDE enables the uLCD-70DT display module to be configured using 3 different environments.
 The Designer environment enables the user to write 4DGL code in its natural form to program the display
module.
 A visual programming experience, suitably called ViSi, enables click-and-place type placement of objects
to assist with 4DGL code generation and allows the user to visualise how the display will look while being
developed.
 An advanced environment called ViSi-Genie doesn’t require any 4DGL coding at all, it is all done
automatically for you. Simply lay the display out with the objects you want, set the events to drive them
and the code is written for you automatically. ViSi-Genie provides the latest rapid development
experience from 4D Systems.
Designer and ViSi allow the user to program and write their own protocol to communicate between the
Arduino and the Display Module.
ViSi-Genie has a set protocol as outlined in the documentation associated with it (Available from the
Workshop4 Product page of the website), and 4D Systems has developed an Arduino Library specifically for the
ViSi-Genie environment, to enable a rapid development platform for users. The library is available for
download from the uLCD-70DT-AR product page on the 4D Systems Website, www.4dsystems.com.au.
