?
If you are communicating to the display via I2C please ensure that the data is being sent to the correct
address. The default slave address for the display module is
0x50.
NOTE
I2C communication will always require pull up resistors.
?
Finally, you may reset the display to it's default settings using the Manual Override Jumper, see
Section 2.5 on page 10.
3.3 The display module is communicating, however text cannot
be displayed.
?
The cause of this is often that no font has been loaded onto the
display. To load a font onto the display
see Section 4.2.1 on page 16.
?
Another common cause may be that the contrast settings have been set to low. The solution to this
problem is to adjust the contrast settings, the default setting that will work in most environments is
128
NOTE
Optimal contrast settings may vary according to factors such as temperature, view-
ing angle and lighting conditions.
3.4 There is a problem uploading fonts or bitmaps.
?
First, ensure that you can communicate to the display. A good
test is to use a PC, with MOGD#
installed, to connect to the display. See Section 1.4 on page4for setting up a PC to test the GLK12232-
25-SM.
?
Second, ensure that the Filesystem Lock Jumper has not been set. See Section 2.6 on page 11.
?
Third, please ensure that the display module's memory is not
full. The GLK12232-25-SM has 16 Kb
of memory for fonts and bitmaps.
NOTE
If you are unable to resolve any issue please contact Matrix Orbital. See 16.6 on
page 64 for contact information.
