-The display has a D/C pin (display or command select) that is used to determine whether bytes sent to the display are interpreted as commands or as display data. The D/C pin is driven high for display buffer access and is driven low for command access. This pin is shared with VBUS detection on the LaunchPad. If VBUS is present, the pull-down resistor acts as a pull-up resistor in conjunction with resistor 6 (R6) on the LaunchPad. Please see the note in the Orbit BoosterPack Schematic available from www.digilentinc.com. +The display has a D/C pin (display or command select) that is used to determine whether bytes sent to the display are interpreted as commands or as display data.

 The D/C pin is also a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) pin on the LaunchPad, and is “locked” on the device's power-up. In order to unlock the D/C pin to be used as a general purpose output, 0x4C4F434B must be written to GPIOLOCK register. For more information, please see the LM4F120H5QR Datasheet at: www.ti.com.  The D/C pin is also a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) pin on the LaunchPad, and is “locked” on the device's power-up.

 The UG2832 is a serial device that is accessed using SPI. It is however, a write-only device. It is not possible to read back either the display buffer contents or any kind of status from the panel. The maximum SPI clock frequency supported by the UG2832 is 10 MHz.  The UG2832 is a serial device that is accessed using SPI. It is however, a write-only device.

-Digilent has a library for use with the Orbit BoosterPack that provides functions for initializing the display and rendering simple text and graphics onto the display. This library can be used as is or as a starting point for a more sophisticated graphics library and is available at www.digilentinc.com. +Digilent has a library for use with the Orbit BoosterPack that provides functions for initializing the display and rendering simple text and graphics onto the display.
