Screens (Gateway/Infotainment)

The SCREENS expansion is used to add a screen to an ECU. Although it can be used on any ECU, it is by default the expansion we use for ECU A (Gateway ECU).

This expansion features various pin sockets to connect screens from Adafruit. Our preferred choice is the 240x240 TFT color Screen Adafruit 4313, since it has a good balance between size, readability, and cost.

We selected those screens mainly because they can be powered by 5V but controlled by 3.3V logic, without external components.

..warning:: For now, we only tested screens for the J5 pin sockets. Other screens are not guaranteed to work.
