AVR1909 The Display Xplained module is quite simple. It basically connects the TFT display SPI interface, resistive touch interface, and backlight interface from a 40pin FPC connector to two female pin-headers that fit the Xplain kit. In addition it has a program/debug interface that will connect an external programmer/debugger to the Xplain kit through a male and a female pin-header.

3.4 The SPI interface The Display Xplained module uses a simple SPI interface to communicate with the LCD module. This consist of a Chip-Select (CS) line, a clock line (SCL), and two data lines (SDI/SDO). The SPI is operated in mode 3, i.e. inactive clock is ‘high’, and data is latched on rising clock edge.
