2.2 Standard Module The standard version of the GLK24064-25/GLT24064 allows for user configuration of two common communication protocols. First, the unit can communicate using serial protocol at either RS323 or TTL voltage levels. Second, it can communicate using the Inter-Integrated Circuit connect, or I C protocol. -
Page 9: I 2 C Connections
Connect the Breadboard Cable to the Communication/Power Header on your GLK24064- 25/GLT24064 and plug the four leads into your breadboard. The red lead will require power, while the black should be connected to ground, and the green and yellow should be connected to your controller clock and data lines respectively. -

The USB connection is the quickest, easiest solution for PC development. After driver installation, the GLK24064-25-USB/GLT24064-USB will be accessible through a virtual serial port, providing the same result as a serial setup without the cable hassle. To connect to your GLK24064-25-USB/GLT24064-USB please follow the steps below. -
Page 11: Rs422 Module
Connections section. RS422 Connections The GLK24064-25-422/GLT24064-422 provides a robust RS422 interface to the display line. For this interface, a series of six wires are usually screwed into the RS422 terminal block provided. An alternate header is also available to provide local power to a regular or -V unit. To connect to your GLK24064-25- 422/GLT24064-422, adhere to the steps laid out below. -
Page 12: Software
The multiple communication protocols available and simple command structure of the GLK24064- 25/GLT24064 means that a variety of applications can be used to communicate with the display. Text is sent to the display as a character string, for example, sending the decimal value 41 will result in an 'A' appearing on the screen. -

Page 54: File Transfer Protocol
Once a bitmap or font file has been created and paired to its command it must be sent using a file protocol developed specifically for Matrix Orbital displays. Once a file upload command has been sent requesting a unique reference number and specifying the file size required, the display will respond indicating whether it has enough room to save the file or not. -
Page 55: Xmodem Upload Protocol
XModem Upload Protocol In addition to its original simple upload format, Matrix Orbital has added an XModem based protocol. This facilitates much faster download speeds by increasing the packet size from 1 byte to 128 bytes and using only a two byte CRC for error checking, greatly increasing throughput. - Page 56 send a 128 byte block of data followed by that blocks high and low CRC16 bytes. The display then performs a CRC check on the data receive and ACKs if it matches that which was sent. Transfer continues with a block count and continues in this way until the end of file is reached. Files may be padded with 255 values to reach an even multiple of 128 bytes in size, but the download command will always report true size.
