Robert? Sorry my mistake , its PA2 , pin 38 . There is an option to send the raw tension in the PA2 , so my idea is to use an external temperature sensor more accurately?and make scaling . For instance, the sensor gives me 0 to 5V , which means , -40 to 100 degrees . Is it possible??? Something likes this : TSTATUS = Temperature: ((^7*100)/50) Em dom., 23 de mai. de 2021 ¨¤s 18:52, Rob Giuliano via <kb8rco= [email protected]> escreveu:
Not sure what you are asking.
I am not sure what PIN 2 refers to - PA2 is pin 38 whih already has a temperature sensor on it on most configurations.? If using that sensor, you can use ^T (deg F) or ^t (deg C) in the status or beacon messages. Using these escape codes, the formulas are already applied. NOTE: in firmware manual, TSTAT says "See BTEXT for excape codes." which refers to these ^ statements.
You can also use the TELTEMP to add that to the telemtry packet which you can send PARM, UNITS, and EQNS to set equations to interpret the data.? Most APRS clients handle these messages.

What I took from the photos was that he already has both the Keyboard/
Display interface board AND the 20x4 Hitachi 44780-compatible LCD
display, both from Byonics.? Assuming he has the needed TT4 to drive it
with, he appears to be all set.? There MIGHT be some early TT4s and beta
test versions that can't use it because of some reason or another, but I
think most can use it.? The built TT4 I bought a few years ago does
drive my LCD display properly and it is the "skinny" surface-mount built
version (v7.0), but I haven't tried using the display with any of my
Beta-Test TT4s.
I'm not sure what you meant by "As such, it will not directly interface
with the TT4," but, while you can't plug it into a TT4 with a ribbon
cable to headers on both ends, you can wire it to a TT4 with a ribbon
cable with only one end having its wires individually stripped and
separated from each other to allow tacking them to individual pins
scattered around the TT4 board, mostly at U1, the microprocessor (there
may also be a resistor involved).? The wiring diagram linked below shows
how.
The Keyboard/Display interface board simply makes it easy to connect the
display (LCD) board to the either the built or through-hole kit TT4s
with an optional keyboard connection.? The Keyboard/Display interface
board is totally passive, and if you didn't need the keyboard interface,
you could just about as easily use individual pieces of hookup wire or a
partially stripped ribbon cable to directly wire the TC2004A-03R to
either TT4 boards, kit or built.? Either method of wiring connects
microprocessor pins to Display Data #4 through Display Data #7, power,
ground, and two display control pins.? The LCD board shown in the large
photos is exactly the same as mine (with the exception of the date code
on the label of course).? It works just fine.? The display wiring
document here:
>
shows this in a table on page 1 and pictorially on pages 3 and 4.? Even
the PS/2 keyboard receptacle could be added by the same method of
tacking on individual wires to a DIN Mini-6 receptacle and various pads
on the TT4, as shown in the wiring table on page 1.
I once reverse engineered the Keyboard/Display interface board, using
the table on page 1 of the wiring document for verification, but I don't
recall at the moment where I put the schematic.? I remember that I was
surprised that Byon didn't include a schematic in the docs.? I think I
could find the schematic that I made with a little searching, if anyone
needs it.
The original poster in this thread (Steven Heimann) was asking about
controlling the "GPIO Pins".? The "GPIO Pins" are actually the same pins
used for the LCD display & keyboard and are on "PortC" (JP8 on my v7
TT4).? Bob Bruninga answered that pretty well, and I found the info in
the TT4 Firmware manual (v0.72) on page 9.? There's not much there, so
I'll copy/paste it below:

It appears that !OUT $xx, as an OUTPUT-only function, doesn't have an
INPUT equivalent, but the telemetry channels should serve as inputs. It
also appears that you can't use this feature while you have a display

Re: TT4 Display using TC2004A-03R
I tried to trim this down to the new thread.
Greg,
From the diagrams in information posted, it appears you purchased the the Byonics LCD interface board and appear to be looking for an LCD display to use with it?
The TC2004A-03R is a 20x4 display module with a 16-pin header which is capable of either a 4-bit or 8-bit interface.? As such, it will not directly interface with the TT4.? It requires the "TT4 Display board" which is also shown in the pictures.? So it appears you have everything you need to connect the display (and optional keyboard) to the TT4.
So what is your question? a) How to interface the TT4 Display board and display to a TT4 kit ???? See page2 of the TinyTrak4 DK Adaptor Manual Version 1.3. ??? This requires you remove the 10-pin header, strip each wire,
???????? and manually solder the wires to the pins on the board of TT4 ??? There is no easy header to just plug into. b) How to interface the TT4 Display board and display to a TT4 prebuilt ??? See page 1 of the TinyTrak4 DK Adaptor Manual Version 1.3. ??? This version has a header, so plug it in to the socket (J9) c) How to interface the TT4 Display board and display to a MTT4B radio ??? See page 1 of the TinyTrak4 DK Adaptor Manual Version 1.3 (similar to prebuilt). ??? This version has a header, so plug it in to the socket labeled LCD-KBD
I have used an LCD display on the TT4 Kit version (kind of a pain to solder to the pins) and the MTT4B.
Firmware settings are: NODISP FALSE?????????????? (yes double negative means the display is attached) DDIST [true|flase]??????????? (depends on if you want to see ditance to other station on LCD) MSGCAP [true|false]??????? (set if you want to use the display/keyboard to send messages) RPATHDISP [true|false]??? (set to display full packet path.? Not sure this is serial or LCD) TXTDISP [true|false]??????? (set to disp[lay generated packets from computer on LCD - I think)
I think that covers all of them specific to the LCD display.?
I would start with
?? NODISP FALSE
?? TXTDISP TRUE and leave everything else as you had it.?
You should see packets decoded from RF and the pc on the LCD screen. With the MTT4B or prebuilt, this should just work.
? If using the kit version and you don't see, check that everything is wired properly,

Greg, It appears that you've hijacked the thread "Driving GPIO pins," and created a lot of confusion for those following the thread. Don't know why you'd do that without any mention why. As far as I can tell, the TC2004A-03R "20 character x 4 line LCD Display" that you bought (as did I years ago), other than being an accessory for the TT4, has nothing much to do with the original post in the "Driving GPIO pins" thread as posted by Steven Heimann on April 3. If I'm mistaken, please forgive me. I suppose the pins that the ribbon cable, supplied with the Display/Keyboard interface board, might be a good way to access what the OP Steven H. called "GPIO Pins," although I don't believe I've ever previously heard that usage. Now to address what you've asked about, there is a manual and a wiring diagram/chart for the display board that totally explains how to use the board, how to wire it up to the kit TT4 or plug it into the built TT4. These documents do a far better job of explaining all this than I could do, although I could probably address some specific issues. It's been years since I bought my KB/Disp adapter board and 20x4 LCD, but at the time I bought the kit, I read the manual and had no problems whatsoever. Did you also buy the add-on keyboard/display interface board? If I remember correctly, you don't have to buy the board, which might be a good option if you don't intend to use a PS/2 keyboard with your TT4. I'm not sure if new PS/2 keyboards are still for sale, but used ones are probably not difficult to find. I bought one very cheap (<$10) at an ancient electronics/cellphone store called "Radio Shack" ages ago. Did you download and read the manual? If not, you might want to do so. Here are some links: About halfway down is the description of the display interface board (with docs links). This is the manual that provides info about the Display/Keyboard interface board AND the whole setup with the 20x4 LCD board. A more concise document defining the wiring with various options, with & without the DKB adapter board, with the Kit TT4 or the Built TT4.

Byonics makes a display and interface for the TT4??
