uProject

uProject was designed by Matrix Orbital to provide a simple and easy to use interface that will allow you

to test all of the features of our alpha numeric displays.

To install uProject from the Matrix Orbital website, follow the following steps:

1. Go to the website location: http://www.matrixorbital.ca/software/software_alpha/uproject/
2. Click on “Download Here”
3. Locate the file uProject.exe on your desktop
4. Double click on “uProject.exe”

Be sure to check the information selected in the COM Setup the first time uProject is run. Although the
display is connected via a USB Cable, it will create its own, virtual, Comport which will be displayed in
the uProject environment. Once this information is entered correctly the program can be used to control all
functions of the graphic display.

Comport

The serial port the display

is plugged in to.

Baudrate

The communication speed

the display module is set

to. (Default 19,200)
