To connect the Matrix Orbital GTT50A display to your computer, you have several options depending on the communication protocol you want to use. Here are the steps for each option:
1. RS232: If you want to use the RS232 protocol, you will need to use the Extended Serial Communication/Power Cable. Connect the DB9 end of the cable to your computer's serial port and the floppy power header to a power source.
2. TTL: For the TTL protocol, you can use the Extended Serial Communication/Power Cable as well. Connect the DB9 end of the cable to your computer's serial port and the floppy power header to a power source.
3. USB: To connect via USB, you will need the External Mini-B USB Cable. Connect the Mini-B end of the cable to the Mini-B USB connector on the display and the regular A style USB connector to your computer.
4. I2C: For the I2C protocol, you can use the Breadboard Cable. This cable provides a simple four-wire connection. Connect the four wires to the corresponding SDA, SCL, power, and ground pins on your controller.
5. RS422: If you prefer the RS422 protocol, you will need to use a 16-30 AWG wire to connect the RS422 header on the display to your controller. Make sure to follow the correct pinout as specified in the manual.
Please note that for all communication options, you need to ensure that the baud rate and other communication settings on your computer and the display are properly configured to match each other.
