Well... Sometimes replacement have part number on it.
You can try find pictures of replacement lcd on ebay, google, yahoo and etc...

Good luck

Nope. The gumstix serial ports (well actually everything) are 3.3v.

The robostix level converts FFUART and STUART from 3.3v to 5v, which
is why the 5v ones are listed.

There are several RS-232/USB level converters shown on this page:
http://www.gumstix.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=Robostix-Serial
I've tried to indicate which ones work at 3.3v, but you should double

The console is on ttyS0, which is the FFUART port. This is true

[Gumstix-users] wireless cf card with external antenna

[Colin Sauze <cjs06@ab...>]

Does anybody know of a compact flash wireless card which can be 
connected to an external antenna and will work with a gumstix?

Alternatively does anyone know of anywhere in the UK/EU that sells 
PCMCIA to compact flash converters so I can plug my PCMCIA wireless card 
into the gumstix?
I've seen several US based companies selling these but haven't found any 
in the EU.

It's tty0-3 not 1-4

>From the PXA Developer's Manual Chapter 4

FF-TXD is only on GPIO39-AF2
FF-RXD is only on GPIO34-AF1

ST-TXD is only on GPIO47-AF1
ST-RXD is only on GPIO46-AF2

HW-TXD is on GPIO43-AF3, and GPIO48-AF1
HW-RXD is on GPIO42-AF3 and GPIO49-AF1

BT-TXD is only on GPIO43-AF2
BT-RXD is only on GPIO42-AF1

So the only way to get all 4 UARTs is for HWUART to be on pins 48/49

[Gumstix-users] Using HWUART, IR_TX/RXD, FFUART, and BTUART for serial connectivity

[Addison \Nik\ Martin <nmartin@ra...>]

I have developed and prototyped a carrier board for a gumstix connex. I
need 4 serial ports: 2 rs232, 1 rs485, and 1 to read a 1-wire temp
sensor.  I have a 2 channel rs232 txcvr connected to FFUART and HWUART,
the RS485 txcvr connected to IRRXD/IRTXD, and I connected the one wire
device to BTUART, based on this note in the gumstiki:

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Note! Current kernels use ttyS3 (HWUART) for bluetooth. This is
available on the BTUART pins by setting GPIO42 and 43 to AF3 - and this
is the default configuration. This can be very confusing if you want to
use the HWUART for something else! To re-enable HWUART on ttyS3, make
bluetooth use ttyS1 (see /etc/default/bluetooth) and then set GPIO42 to
AF1 in and GPIO43 to AF2 out. You can then set GPIO48 to AF1 out (HWUART
TXD) and GPIO49 to AF1 in (HWUART RXD).
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

But, 2 months later, I've gotten my board back from my EEs, and I'm now
confused by this statement.  Can I have 4 ttys active at one time using
this combination of ports?  If so, the note confuses me as to what to
set the different IO ports to to get tty1-tty4 active.

Yes, those are very nice looking LCD's, but I think that they are a  
bit too small, both in physical size and in resolution. I was going  
to make a project that takes the world from the sparkfun camera, and  
transfers it to a virtual navigational world using the sparfun  
trackball and/or a touchscreen, and an LCD. 320x240 is a nice 1/4  
size of the camera, which means that each "pixel" (really, 1 red 1  
green 1 blue pixel) on the LCD corresponds to 4 pixels (but with the  
bayer filter, 1 red 2 green 1 blue pixel) on the camera, which should  
hopefully make it easier to work with.
I suppose that the real reason I didn't like the sparkfun screen is  
physical size isn't  large enough, and non-standard (well, maybe  
serial is standard these days, but not on the gumstix) serial  
interface. That is a very real option, however: I could use the main  
LCD with a 3D world, and that as a secondary "heads-up" display that  
shows a top view of the world.

In case people are wondering how I will get this world working, I was  
thinking about using TinyGL or muli3d, two nice fast software 3D  
interfaces.

I think I found the problem. You sent me the changes to apply to
Timer.h, and I saw this:

#define TIMER_1A_PIN     5
#define TIMER_1A_MASK    ( 1 << 4 )

The 4 should be a 5. I checked in an update...

[Gumstix-users] Roboaudiostix PCM channel 1A

[Cliff L. Biffle <cliff@bi...>]

So, I've got a servo library driving all six PCM channels on the  
Robostix.

Well, attempting to drive.  PCM channel 1A seems to do nothing.   
Here's some background.

I've taken Dave's Simple-Servo example and modified it to run timer 1  
instead of 3.  (Well, actually, I had it running both timers, but I  
backed that code out to try to isolate my problem.)  Channels 1C and  
1B seem to work fine, but 1A is held at logic one and fails to perk  
my frequency counter or servo.

(Specifically, 1A is being held at 3.72V above ground, which is the  
same state as the timer outputs I'm not driving.)

I've verified the connection between my header and the pin on the AVR  
according to the schematic; everything seems fine.

Every channel works but this one, which seems phenomenally weird to  
me.  I can post source if needed, but before I pollute the mailing  
list, I was wondering if anyone has any top-of-head suggestions.   
Might there be a fuse I need to blow or some such?

I dont believe this would be the case, I've left mine for a couple of months
