The μTOLED-20-G2 is an impressive Transparent OLED display module (TOLED) in the 4D Systems microOLED graphics display range. Featuring a 2.0” 128x160 resolution transparent display, it is the ideal size for attractive transparent display applications.
Driving the module and its peripherals is the GOLDELOX processor, a very capable chip which provides impressive graphics power, programmed with 4D Systems Workshop IDE Software. 4D Systems Workshop enables graphic solutions to be constructed rapidly and with ease due to its design being solely for 4D’s graphics controllers.
The μTOLED-20-G2 has a modest but comprehensive range of features suited for an application requiring an amazing transparent display, an analog input, Dallas 1-wire sensor capability, audio generation, or simply digital I/O. This is truly an impressive display solution.
Dimensions: 83.5mm x 38.6mm
Tubes used are 5Y3, 12AX7/ECC83 and a single 6CM6 per channel. The 6CM6 is somewhat similar in it's specs to a 6V6. The 6CM6 was used more as a vertical deflection amplifier in TV's. This amp can deliver about 3 to 4 watts per channel. Works well with my vintage pair of Realistic Minimus-7 speakers.Power transformer and chassis were made by Hammond Mfg.,output transformers from Antique Electronic Supply.Circut wise it was based off of vintage circuts.
If you aren’t familiar with the Electric Imp, it essentially provides an easy, integrated way to connect almost any hardware device both to other devices and to internet services. It’s more than just a WiFi card, or even a WiFi module with processing built in - it’s an integrated platform that deals with the drudgery of connectivity, allowing you to concentrate on the application instead of the mechanics. Of course, if you’re developing for it you’ll need a way to get in there and poke around. The Electric Imp Shield allows you to connect your Arduino project to the internet through your home WiFi network. This way, your Arduino can take advantage of the Imp Cloud service and connect to HTTP APIs.
The Shield connects one of the imp’s UARTs (Imp pins 5 and 7) to either the Arduino hardware UART or a software serial on pins 8 and 9. It defaults to the software serial, but there are jumpers on the bottom side to set it to the hardware serial. A couple imp pins (8 & 9) are also connected to LEDs. They can be disconnected via jumpers on the bottom, if you’d like.
Because the Electric Imp can draw up to 400mA on the 3.3V line, this shield has its own voltage regulator which is fed from the 5V Arduino line. Most Arduino compatible boards should be able to handle this amount of draw but beware that some clones that use less robust VREGs could see trouble.
