Pinout

The 26 pin gpio connector is described at elinux
The SPI connector has the same pinout as the atmel 6-pin ICSP connector and is documented here: SPI_connector_pinout.
The I2C connector is documented here: I2C_connector_pinout.
The UART connector is documented here: uart connector pinout.
The analog connector has the following pinout:

pin function
1 5V
2 Analog in
3 GND

LEDs

The only LED is a power indicator.

jumper settings

There is one 2x2 pin jumper (JP1), which controls which SPI bus (actually which SPI chip-select line) is routed to the AVRs slave-select pin, and which is routed to the reset pin (to enable reprogramming of the AVR):
Left pads/pins connected: SPI0 connected to Slave-Select Right pads/pins connected: SPI1 connected to RESET Bottom pads/pins connected: SPI0 connected to RESET Top (near the LCD) pads/pins connected: SPI1 connected to Slave-Select

There is also one solder jumper, SJ1, which controls the supply voltage on the SPI, I2C, and UART connectors:
1-2: 5V (left)
2-3: 3V3 (right, near the PCB edge)

Protocol

To make the RPI_UI PCB do things, you need to send things over the SPI or I2C bus to the PCB. A comparison of the two protocols can be found here.

The general overview of the SPI protocol is here.

The software

Controlling the display works the same way as our SPI_LCD or I2C_LCD modules. Reading the pushbuttons is very much like the DIO module. The read and write ports are described below.

write ports

Some ports just set a single value. So writing more than one byte to such a port is redundant. Other ports are logically a stream of bytes. So writing more than one byte is encouraged.

The rpi_ui board defines several ports.

port function
0x00 display data.
0x01 write data as command to LCD.
0x10 any data clears the screen.
0x11 move the cursor to line l, position p.
l is the top 3 bits
p is the bottom 5 bits of the data.
0x12 set contrast.
0x13 set backlight.
0x14 reinit LCD.
0x70 .. 0x71 Select which i/o is coupled to which ADC channel
0x80 Set number of ADC channels to read
0x81 Set number of samples to add (we suggest using a power of 2) (two bytes)
0x82 Set ammounts of bits to shift accumulated sample value
0xf0 change address.

read ports

The rpi_ui board supports several read ports:

port function
0x01 identification string. (terminated with 0).
0x02 read eeprom (serial number).
0x20 read button 1 (1 means NOT pushed, 1 means pushed)
0x21 read button 2 (1 means NOT pushed, 1 means pushed)
0x22 read button 3 (1 means NOT pushed, 1 means pushed)
0x23 read button 4 (1 means NOT pushed, 1 means pushed)
0x24 read button 5 (1 means NOT pushed, 1 means pushed)
0x25 read button 6 (1 means NOT pushed, 1 means pushed)
0x30 reports which buttons have been pushed since last read of this register

If you keep a button pushed, it will read out as 1 multiple times

0x31 reports which buttons have been pushed since last read of this register (V1.2 and up)

If you keep a button pushed, it will read out as 1 only once

0x40 read button 1 (1 means pushed, 1 means NOT pushed) (V1.1 and up)
0x41 read button 2 (1 means pushed, 1 means NOT pushed) (V1.1 and up)
0x42 read button 3 (1 means pushed, 1 means NOT pushed) (V1.1 and up)
0x43 read button 4 (1 means pushed, 1 means NOT pushed) (V1.1 and up)
0x44 read button 5 (1 means pushed, 1 means NOT pushed) (V1.1 and up)
0x45 read button 6 (1 means pushed, 1 means NOT pushed) (V1.1 and up)
0x60.. 0x61 Return analog value (2 bytes)
0x68 .. 0x69 Return added and bitshifted analog value (2 bytes)
0x70 .. 0x71 Return which i/o is coupled to which ADC channel
0x80 Return number of ADC channels to read
0x81 Return number of samples to add (two bytes)
0x82 Return ammounts of bits to shift accumulated sample value

Using the analog inputs

Please see this chapter on the page explaining the DIO protocol. There are two major differences:

  • The internal reference voltage needs to be configured in a different way
  • The mapping of the analog inputs; please use the following table instead:
IO pin value
temp 0xC7 (Vref=1V1) OR 0x47 (Vref=Vcc=~5V)
ext 0xC6 (Vref=1V1) OR 0x46 (Vref=Vcc=~5V)

Example

Setup the ADC (only needed once after reboot):

bw_tool -a 94 -w 70:c7 //Set ADC channel 0 to temperature sensor, and internal 1V1 reference
bw_tool -a 94 -w 80:01 //Set number of channels to sample to 1

Read the value:

bw_tool -a 94 -R 60:s // Read the result, output in hex

Using the temperature sensor

The temperature sensor is a MCP9700. It's output voltage depends on the temperature. For more information, please see the MCP9700 datasheet.

An initialization and readout script are available on the Temperature sensor example page.

examples

read identification

read the identification string of the board.

data sent data recieved explanation
0x95 xx select destination with address 0x94 for READ.
0x01 xx identify
xx 0x73 's'
xx 0x70 'p'
xx 0x69 'i'
xx ... etc.

Send text to display

Display the string "Hello World!" (only the first 5 bytes of the string shown).

data sent data recieved explanation
0x94 xx select destination with address 0x94 for WRITE
0x00 xx datastream
0x48 xx 'H'
0x65 xx 'e'
0x6c xx 'l'
0x6c xx 'l'
0x6f xx 'o'
xx ... etc.

set cursor position

move to line 1, character 5:

data sent data recieved explanation
0x94 xx select destination with address 0x94 for WRITE
0x11 xx port 0x11 = set cursor position.
0x25 xx 0x25 = 001 00101 = line 1 position 5.
