NOTE: the software will also be the same for a BV4108 LCD controller
Version 2
This IASI (Intelligent Asynchronous Serial Interface) allows a very easy solution for many hardware problems. The interface is based on a serial RS232 or TTL logic and plane ASCII text. Single letter commands are sent to the device to control such things as LCD displays, Keypads, Stepper motors etc.
The devices in the range are:
BV4102 3 colour 8 x 8 LED Matrix BV4103 16 x 2 Blue LCD Display BV4108 LCD controller BV4113 DC / Stepper motor controller
The devices included in the library so far:

BV4102: This is an 8 x 8 LED array consisting of 64 RED LED’s and 64 GREEN LED’s. All of these are controlled by a serial interface using a single letter command. The brightness of either red or green can be controlled to give varying shades of orange. Any pattern within the matrix can be created and there is also a built in character set offering red, green or orange characters from ASCII 33 (!) to ASCII 122 (z). These can be stacked to form larger displays and more than one display can operate from the same serial bus. |

BV4103: Cool Blue
LCD display having a true serial interface. This comes complete with the
unique IASI (Intelligent Asynchronous Serial Interface). The interface
is fitted to the back of the display and can be connected to a PC COM
port or a microcontroller UART. The display is then controlled with
simple two letter commands. NOTE: the software will also be the same for a BV4108 LCD controller |

BV4113: Stepper motor controller using single letter commands for example n200 will step a motor 200 times. This will also control up to 4 DC motors. On the board there are two digital i/o for sensing limit switches etc. and also a 10 bit Analogue to digital input. |
