5.6" touchscreen

Post by lkernan » Tue Apr 14, 2009 2:17 am

Hi,
I've just received my mini2440 and an innolux 5.6" touchscreen. I've got two questions about the screen i'm hoping someone with the same setup can answer.

1. The screen has two cables, the ribbon cable is pretty obvious, but the other is confusing me.
It's a two wire cable that ends in a 4 pin plug, with only 2 pins used. The plug looks like it will fit the power or con1 / con2 connectors on the mini2440.
I'm not sure if it is for the touchscreen or it is power, so i'm not sure where to plug it in. It connects to the board mounted behind the screen itself.

2. Does anyone know if i should select the 3.5v or 5v power jumper for this sceen??

Sorry if these are stupid questions, but there was no printed documentation with the kit and the cd hasn't been much help with getting the connections right.

Hi,

The 5.6" LCD screen need 2 power supplies -- 3.3v for logic and 5v for backlight.
So you need select 3.3v by jumper and connect the additional 2 wire power cable from backlight board to CPU board 5v output.

Hi,
Does anyone have any tips on where i can find a bezel for the 5.6" screen?

I know the smaller and larger screens come with surrounds, but the 5.6" screen came bare. I'm a little worried about damaging it as it is now.
Before i go making something from scratch, i thought i'd see if anyone knew of a surround that would fit.
