4 Communications
4.1 Introduction
4.1.1 I
single I
resistors, with a nominal value of 1K to 10K, are placed on the SCL and SDA communication lines coming
from pins two and three of the Data / Power Connector respectively. Data responses by the module are
automatically output via RS232, in case the host will be querying the module, it is necessary for the host to
inform the module that its responses are to be output via I
/160 / 0 to turn off auto transmission of data in RS232. This will keep the data in the buffer until the master
clocks a read of the slave. The I
8th or Least Significant Bit (LSB) bit designated as the read/write bit, a 0 designates a write address and a
1 designates a read address. The default read address of the display module will be 0x51, whereas the write
address is 0x50 by default. This address may be changed by using cmd 254 / 51 / <address>. The VK162-12
should only be sent addresses that are even (LSB is 0). When the I
the effective address is $50 (0101 0000) , since the LSB has to be 0 for an I
master wishes to read the VK162-12, the effective address is $51 (0101 0001), since the LSB has to be 1 for
an I
this Phillips I
When writing to the display module, the display will respond with a ACK when the write has successfully
been completed. However if the buffer has been filled, or the module is too busy processing data it will
respond with a NAK. When performing a multiple byte read within one I
the slave should be followed by an ACK to indicate that the master still needs data, and a NAK to indicate
that the transmission is over.
tions when writing I
sent (only needs to be sent once, so this can be done somewhere in init): 254 / 160 / 0 this command puts
the reply data in the I
output buffer, query commands that reply with more than 16 bytes cannot be read (eg cmd Get FileSystem
Directory)

The commands listed in this chapter describe how to configure data flow on the VK162-12.
The VK162-12 is capable of communicating at 100 KHz in I

If we take a standard Phillips 7 bit address of $45 (100 0101), Matrix Orbital’s VK162-12 would describe
The unit does not respond to general call address ($00).
When communicating in I
The VK162-12 has some speed limitations, especially when run in I
* to be able to read the replies of query commands (eg. cmds 54, 55) the following command must be
* 3ms delay between the read commands
* 625us delay in between data bytes within a transaction is necessary
* 375us between transactions is necessary
