/ write bit. If we take a standard Phillips 7bit address of 45hex this would be in binary 1000101. This is
7bits. Matrix Orbital would describe the Phillips I 2 C address of 45hex as 8Ahex. The read address would
be 8Bhex.

2.3 General Purpose Outputs
The display has six general purpose outputs. These are provided to control relays or other electronic de-
vices. This allows external devices to be turned on or off using the PC or controller and software commands.
Each output is wired as shown in the Figure below. The + terminal is connected directly to the module
positive supply, the - terminal is connected through a 240 ohm current limiting resistor and the electronic
switch to ground.
Figure 10: General Purpose Outputs
Maximum allowable current is 20 mA, which is enforced by the current limiting resistor. If the device
being switched has a resistance of 240 ohms or more the corresponding resistor may be shorted. Solder a
small jumper wire (wirewrap wire is good) from the feedthrough hole to the corresponding negative pin for
the GPO in question.
