Interfacing the Digix to a 4D systems 43PT Display
« on: January 10, 2014, 01:20:07 am »
I've tried using their Arduino library that works with the due (commented out the appropriate line), but all of my serial commands only seem to go to the Serial Monitor and not the LCD.

Thank you

Replace Serial with Serial0

Because the DigiX uses Native USB Serial instead of the second programming port the Due has, but we still want to make it compatible with most sketches which assume the serial monitor is on Serial not SerialUSB - we changed it as follows:

Due          DigiX
Serial       Serial0
SerialUSB    Serial or SerialUSB
Serial1      Serial1
Serial2      Serial2


You can also just select the Due as the board instead of the DigiX and it will work just fine with the Due mappings - WiFi and other DigiX specific features may not work though.

To anyone interested, I've updated the code for the 4d systems visi genie library (great screens btw) to work with the digix. (just a few simple lines)

Thank you digistump (erik) for helping me solve my initial issue.
