Descriptions

SoundsCape

The BeagleBone LCD3 Cape provides a portable LCD solution with touchscreen capability for BeagleBone boards. The 3.5" TFT LCD screen, attached to the topside of the board, can display up to a resolution of 320x240 and is a 4-wire resistive touchscreen. The board is equipped with seven switches located at finger-friendly positions. These switches include power, reset, and five user switches, which are mapped to different GPIO signals. The backside of the cape is where a BeagleBone can be mounted.

  • A 5V DC power supply (we recommend 5V - >500mA)


Following the instructions below to start using your BeagleBone LCD3 Cape:

  1. Mount the BeagleBone to the connectors on the bottom side of the LCD3 Cape.
  2. Make sure the SD card using with BeagleBone has image that supports LCD3 Cape.
  3. Plug in a 5V DC power supply to the DC connector on the BeagleBone.
  4. Following screens will be displayed on the LCD screen:
    • Angstrom log-in prompt
    • Auto Calibration utility (displays only on the first time)
  5. Follow the instructions given by the Auto Calibration utility to calibrate the LCD3 touchscreen.
