The micro-USB μUSB-CE5 is a USB to RS-232 bridge converter which is simple, cost effective, very small and easy to use. It uses its own PCB as a card edge type connector to plug into a USB A type cable or directly into a USB hub port.
The absence of a mechanical connector makes the μUSB-CE5 a very low profile device. The design is based around the FT232RQ from FTDI and provides the user with multi baud rate serial data up to 3M baud rate. Standard 0.1” pitch 5 pin female or male header can be soldered to provide the essential signals and power to any application. RX and TX signals are both 3.3V and 5V tolerant.

µOLED-128-GMD1 (Discontinued - use µOLED-128-G1)
1.5" Next Gen Smart OLED Display
The µOLED is a compact and cost effective all in one ‘SMART” OLED Display with an
embedded graphics controller that will deliver ‘stand-alone’ functionality to your
project. The ‘simple to use’ embedded commands not only control background
colour but can produce text in a variety of sizes as well as draw shapes (which can
include user definable bitmapped characters such as logos) in 256 or 65,536 colours
whilst freeing up the host processor from the ‘processor hungry ‘ screen control
functions. This means a simple micro-controller with a standard serial or USB
interface can drive the µOLED module with total ease.
µOLED-128-GMD1 Features
The µOLED-128-GMD1 is aimed at being integrated into a variety of different
applications via a wealth of features designed to facilitate any given functionality
quickly and cost effectively and thus reduce ‘time to market’. These features are as
follows:

µOLED-128-GMD1 Serial Command Set
The heart of the µOLED-128-GMD1 is the easy to understand command set. This
comprises of a handful of easy to learn instructions that can draw lines, circles,
squares, etc, to provide a full text and graphical user interface. The commands are
sent to the µOLED-128-GMD1 via its serial connection (5 pin header). The
command set is grouped into 3 sections:
• General Command Set
• Display Specific Command Set
• Extended Command Set

NOTE:
The RX and the TX signals are at 3.3V levels. If interfacing to a host system running at
voltages greater than 3.6V levels, then a 1K series resistor must be inserted between
the Host TX and the µOLED-128-GMD1 RX signals as shown in the diagram on the left.

The µOLED-320XX-PMD3 series are compact & cost effective all in one 'SMART' display modules using the latest state of the art Active Matrix OLED (AMOLED) technology with an embedded PICASO graphics controller that delivers ‘stand-alone’ functionality to any project. The ‘easy to learn and use’ 4D Graphics Language (4DGL) with its vast built in library functions will allow rapid application development.
4DGL is a graphics oriented language, allowing the developer to write applications in a high level language (syntax similar to popular languages such as BASIC, C, Pascal, etc.) and run it directly on the PICASO processor embedded in the µOLED-320XX-PMD3 modules.
4DGL allows the user to take complete control of all available resources on that hardware platform such as the Serial Port, Graphics AMOLED Display, uSD-Card, I/O pins, etc. This eliminates the need for an external host controller/processor to drive the µOLED-320XX-PMD3 modules via serial commands. It provides the user complete control over the hardware module allowing them to quickly develop powerful applications.
