gen4-4DPi-70T

7.0" Gen4 Primary Display for the Raspberry Pi & ASUS Tinker Board

The gen4-4DPi range are Primary Display’s for the Raspberry Pi A+, B+, Pi2, Pi3, Pi3 B+, Pi Zero and Pi Zero W & ASUS Tinker Board, which display the primary output of the Raspberry Pi & ASUS Tinker Board, like what is normally sent to the HDMI or Composite output. It features an integrated Resistive Touch panel or Capacitive Touch panel, enabling the gen4-4DPi to function with the Raspberry Pi & ASUS Tinker Board without the need for a mouse.

Communication between the gen4-4DPi and the Raspberry Pi & ASUS Tinker Board is interfaced with a high speed 48Mhz SPI connection, which utilises an on-board processor for direct command interpretation and SPI communication compression, and features a customised DMA enabled kernel. This combination allows this display to output high frame rate compared to other SPI display solutions, when displaying a typical image/video, and can achieve higher depending if the image can be compressed.

The gen4-4DPi is designed to work with the Raspbian Operating System running on the Raspberry Pi & ASUS Tinker Board, as that is the official Raspberry Pi & ASUS Tinker Board operating system. It is also compatible with Pixel and Scratch.

The gen4-4DPi range connects to the Raspberry Pi & ASUS Tinker Board’s 40 pin header using the gen4-4DPi Adaptor, which then connects to the gen4-4DPi display module using a 30-way FFC Cable.

Mounting of the gen4-4DPi is achieved with the 4x 4mm mounting holes present on the Resistive Touch Display Modules, enabling standard screws to fasten the Gen4-4DPi as required, or via the adhesive supplied on the Cover Lens Bezel which is part of the Capacitive Touch Version.
