The gen4-FT812/FT813 is a display module which is driven by a host 
controller. The host controller will send the commands using SPI 
communication. It is entirely up to the user to select their host controller 
and use it to drive the display. 

 

Note:

 The host controller is a device such as an Arduino or a Raspberry Pi. These 

devices are not supplied by 4D Systems.
