iSMART 4.3” TFT Module
Fast access 100 page display memory
Reusable display pages & menus
Powerful but Easy to Use Graphic User Interface
Create and link buttons, text, shapes, images and photos via your host interface
or use a text editor to create and pre-store them on an SDHC card for transfer to
on board flash memory or RAM. Build in functionality behind the page and let the
module take care of the navigation and process actions.
Load your Application Pages at Initialization or in Real Time
With 100 pages of display memory, you can set up templates for your complete
application. Activate and change the buttons, text and images using unique ‘tag
names’ via your interface to reduce host communication and CPU overhead.
Multi-function Transparent Buttons and Dynamic Layering
Transparent buttons can be positioned over text, shapes and images or even
over other buttons to create context combinational functions. All entities can be
moved around the page with simple host commands due to the modules ability to
retain the complete parametric structure of every item the module creates.
SDHC 4G+ Card enables 8 bit CPU as Host
Unlike many other TFT modules, you can use this module with small CPU hosts
by storing complex menus, functions and images on an SDHC 4G+ card or
transfer up to 128M byte to internal flash.
Priced to make your TFT solution Standard, not just High End.
Volume manufacture brings this product to you with the power of a PC solution
but the price of a display module. Take advantage of reduced development time

Software Command Overview
The commands are text based for easy creation and debugging in a standard text editor. These can be sent via the host interfaces or stored in an
SD Card as a text file. Each entity is given a name like ‘Main’ or ’EnterButton’ or ’Volts’ which allows easy referencing by other commands.
Command Function Command Function
PAGE(Name,Style) {…….} Create a Page or Group of entities LIB(Name,Source) Store image or font in Flash Library
LOAD(DestName,Name,,....) Copy 2 or more Pages or Groups VAR(Name,Style) Create an interface buffer or variable
SHOW(Name) Show Page Group or Entity on Display MATH(Var=Equation) Calculate an equation using variables
HIDE(Name) Hide a Group or Entity on Display
or absolute values and symbols and
put result in a variable or text.
RESET(Name) Refresh a Page, Group, Entity or Buffer INT(Buffer,Function) If a buffer receive interrupt, do function
DEL(Name) Delete a Page, Group, Entity or Buffer IF(Var~Var?Fn1:Fn2) Compare variables. If true do function
STYLE(Name,Type) {…….} Define a Style with attributes
one else do function two. Use > = < ~
symbols as in conditional syntax.
POSN(X,Y,PageName,Style) Position Cursor +X or X,Y or X, Y, Page FUNC(Name) {…} Create a function called by commands.
TEXT(Name,Text,Style) Create a Text at cursor position WAIT(Time) Wait for a period of milliseconds
DRAW(Name,X,Y,Style) Draw line, box, circle at cursor, size X,Y INC(Srce) Include file in another file
IMG(Name,Source,X,Y,Style) Draw an image at cursor, size X,Y RUN(Name) Run function or user custom code
KEY(Name,Function,X,Y,Style) Create a Touch Area at cursor, size X,Y more…...
Pages can be larger or smaller than 480x272 for pop ups, lists and scrolling information. Buttons, text, lines and images (entities) on a page can
be layered to allow mapping transparent buttons over an image. Buttons can be varying size, with radio, rectangle or check box style with special
types for return and scroll actions. The cursor position command allows relative or absolute positioning for reduced instructions during page
layout. Entities can be updated automatically by incoming host commands or manually using the refresh command with their associated functions
running all the time or only when the entity or it’s page is visible. When a text is numeric, it can be compared, calculated or counted up or down.
Buffers or variables can be created for interfaces, on-board memory or the SD Card, timers, counters and user text. Hex code can be included in
text variables when prefixed by \\. Change text, styles or parameters with a direct reference via an interface. eg VOLTS=“5.25VDC”;
All entities and buffers use parameters stored in a Style similar to HTML. These are extensive and define colours, entity types, memory allocation
and interface parameters like baud rate, clock edges, data format. The integrated debugger makes life easier to find syntax and comms errors.
