4.0V to 5.5V. So which is it?</p>

If you have a small, color cell phone from the early 2000s, look at it through a magnifying glass, and you'll see what I mean.
2: It's an OLED display, which does active emissive as opposed to filtered transmissive of the LCD. The only way you'll be able to make a projector out of this screen is by putting a magnifying glass in front of it and projecting an up-side down image on a wall. For examples, look up "Box Projector" on Youtube.</p></p>

Annoying, but not really a problem as it can be changed with an FTDI breakout quite easily.</p>

We just received two more, of the GFX type, which we only realized after a day of trying to figure out why they weren't taking any serial commands. Apparently they're reflashable (PmmC file and loader from 4D's website) so not a big deal, but be aware if you're having trouble.</p>

And if an external program on a computer is doing the job of converting existing files to something specific and writing directly to the micro-SD blocks, then I don't count the unit itself as supporting a filesystem and file formats.<br>
For the price of the unit, you'd think it would be able to do all of this on its own.</p>

Again, this is all for a slightly different screen, but it is a decent hello world for 4D serial controlled screens.<br>
The library is available at: http://code.google.com/p/arduino-oled/<br>
And I wrote up a basic Oscilloscope sketch for it that includes a trigger feature, it's posted at:<br>

and video of it in action (it's a bit blurry, but my camera is awful)<br>

In other words, no FAT32, no JPEG, no GIF, no PNG, no MP4. It's all block addresses and raw data.</p>
