Timer. The timer controls how fast to cycle through displaying the images sequentially. The timer
can be up to 65 seconds. The images change sequentially from the beginning address (the active
attribute address) to the end address (4)
A.
If the timer is set to zero there will be no changes based on the timer.
B.
If the timer is set to a positive number the timer starts running. If any of the switches are
pressed, the timer gets reset. If a switch press causes a new image to be displayed the
attributes associated with the new image become active.
When the timer expires:
For each timer expire:
-
If the address of the image displayed is not equal to the End address (4):
i.
Then the next image is displayed. (The Attribute Block of the new image is
ignored.)
ii.
And the timer is reset and starts running again.
-
If the address of the image being displayed is equal to the End address (4) then the
Middle address (2) of the End address (4) attribute block is checked.
i.
If the Middle address (2) is zero the image from the beginning address is
displayed. This will create a loop of the images from beginning address to end
address to be displayed until the a switch press causes a change

Programming the IS-Dev Kit-8
The IS-Dev Kit-8 communicates via RS232 with any communication software. The commands and protocol
will be explained in the sections 6 and 7.
This section covers programming the Dev Kit using the Universal Communicator.
The Universal Communicator handles all the communication protocol. Once the images are created, they can be
imported to the universal Communicator. The universal communicator allows attributes information to be
inputted. Once the images and attribute information are created, they can be downloaded to the Dev Kit. The
Dev Kit will function as programmed after the next power up or reset.
For how to use the software please refer to Universal Communicator documentation.
Creating OLED Rocker Images for Universal Communicator
The OLED Rocker display is 96x64 pixel monochrome. Images can be created graphically or by cropping from
a picture using graphic software such as Paint, Photoshop, etc. The images must be saved as 96x64
monochromatic bitmap files. The image files should be saved in a single folder. Universal Communicator
imports the files from the folder in alphanumeric order according to the file names. The file names should be
selected so the order of images will be as desired.
The Universal Communicator displays the image file names and assigned addresses for the controller. (Screen

These files can be downloaded to the controller.
