GLOSSARY
Hardware
1.
4D Programming Cable
– is a USB to Serial-TTL UART converter cable.
The cable provides a fast and simple way to connect all of the 4D devices
that require TTL level serial interface to USB.
2.
4D-UPA
– a universal programmer designed to work with multiple 4D
Systems display modules.
3.
Embedded System
– is a programmed controlling and operating system
with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electrical system,
often with real-time computing constraints. It is embedded as part of a
complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts.
4.
Female Header
– is a connector attached to a wire, cable, or piece of
hardware, having one or more recessed holes with electrical terminals
inside.
5.
Micro USB cable
– a type of cable used to connect the display to a
computer.
6.
microSD Card
– a type of removable flash memory card used for storing
information.
7.
Processor
– is a small chip that resides the 4D Systems displays. Its basic
job is to receive input and provide the appropriate output.
8.
Programming Adaptor
– used for programming 4D Systems display
modules, interfacing to a breadboard for prototyping, interfacing to
Arduino and Raspberry Pi interfaces.
9.
Resistive Touch Panel
– is a touch-sensitive computer display composed of
two flexible sheets coated with a resistive material and separated by an air
gap or microdots.
10.
uUSB-PA5-II
– a USB to Serial-TTL UART bridge converter designed to
work with 4D Systems display modules. It provides the user with multi
baud rate serial data up to 3M baud rate.
