4.1.2 I
sequence. To begin a transaction the data line, SDA, must toggle from high to low while the clock line, SCL,
is high. Next, the display must be addressed using a one byte hexadecimal value, the default to write to the
unit is 0x50, while read is 0x51. Then information can be sent to the unit; even when reading, a command
must first be sent to let the unit know what type of information it is required to return. After each bit is sent,
the display will issue an ACK or NACK as described above. Finally, when communication is complete, the
transaction is ended by toggling the data line from low to high while the clock line is high. An example of
the use of this algorithm to write a simple “HELLO” message can be seen in 3.
4.1.3 Serial Communication
RS-232 protocol at at a default baud rate of 19,200 bps and is capable of standard baud rates from 9600
to 115,200 bps. Furthermore the VK162-12 is also capable of reproducing any non-standard baud rate in
between using values entered into our baud rate generation algorithm and set through command 164 (0xA4).
The display module communicates at standard voltage levels of -30V to +30V or at TTL levels of 0 to +5V
by setting the Protocol Select Jumpers to TTL.
