admatec c-berry tft display manufacturer

The LCD module C-Berry designed by Admatec comes as a 3.5-inch diagonal TFT screen [1]. It also includes an adapter for the GPIO interface of the Rasp Pi, which makes it possible to integrate the hardware without much effort into your projects. The screen has an off-the-shelf price tag of about EUR 40 at dealers like Conrad or ELV Electronics.

The C-Berry module (Figure 1) can display 320 pixels horizontally and 240 pixels vertically. It emits a relatively strong 600 lumen, which means the visual display is easy to see even in daylight. At 5 volts, the module pulls about 350mA from the GPIO port and thus does not need its own power supply.

The LCD module comes in three parts: the basic TFT screen, an adapter for the GPIO port, and the connection cable that runs between the adapter and the screen. To put the parts together, you just connect the flat ribbon cable to both the screen and the adapter and then plug the adapter into the GPIO port. You need to make sure the ribbon cable is positioned correctly: Be sure the metal contact points on the cable point upward and away from the board when it is connected (Figure 2).

Alternatively, if you wish to do the material development in-house, Admatec can offer you, as Admaflex-machine-user, a proven resin premix composition for developing your own slurries, both with ceramics and metals.

While it didn"t display anything (completely white display), I could still attach an HDMI monitor and operate with it. It sometimes displayed the "battery warning" icon in the top right corner, but never failed on a 2A power supply.

Unfortunately I was not able to calibrate the touchscreen and I was not able to apply the changes permanently. After a reboot, the display was white again.

This software is provided by Midas Displays in order to help users get started with the MDT0500D1OSC-PAR-KIT1, which is a development kit for 7 inch touchscreen display that works with Raspberry Pi.
