The Raspberry Pi Display Adapter is a simple Raspberry Pi adapter designed to provide a convenient interface to attach 4D Systems display modules to the Raspberry Pi platform, without having to use jumper wires on the Raspberry Pi headers.

Communication to the 4D Systems Display Modules is performed via the Raspberry Pi’s serial port (RX and TX), and is provided to the user in a simple 5-pin interface, where a 5 way cable can be attached between the adapter and the Display Module.

Power for the display is supplied from the Raspberry Pi’s 5V bus. No external power is required for the Display Module as all power is supplied from the Raspberry Pi, via the Adaptor.
