Display

We use this display, but touch variant. It is 4 lane MIPI with i2c touch controller.

  • Display driver: ST7703
  • Touch driver: FT6336U

Possible use cases

  • Home Assistant Dashboard. Perfect for wall-mounted smart home control panels with full touch interaction and high-resolution display.
  • Information Display. Show weather, calendar, news, or any other dynamic content in your home or office.
  • Control Panel. Use as a centralized control interface for IoT devices, lighting, or home automation systems.
  • Embedded Display. Build custom applications using the full power of Raspberry Pi OS or any Linux distribution on the CM4.

List of features

  • 720x720 IPS Display with multitouch support
  • Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 as the main brain
  • External RTC for accurate timekeeping
  • USB-C for data and power
  • USB-OTG support for device mode
  • Action Button for user interaction
  • WiFi connectivity
  • 40-pin GPIO Header for Raspberry Pi compatibility
  • SD Card slot for storage expansion
  • Micro HDMI output for external displays

Questions

How big is the Poe backplate PCB?

It measures 75 × 78.4 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Poe backplate use?

125 parts, built around the LAN9500A-ABZJ, HY931147C, LP38693MP-3.3 and USBLC6-2SC6. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Poe backplate KiCad files?

From the dotstartech/wall-panel repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/poe-backplate/poe-backplate.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/add-on-nfc/add-on-nfc.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Poe backplate design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask dotstartech before reusing the design.
