Optional haptic motor is available, this will allow users to “feel” when they press the. The duration is ms and
configurable.
9.5 Piezo Speaker
Optional piezo speaker is available, this will allow the user to hear a beep when they press the. The duration is
ms and configurable.
9.6 Backlight Auto Dim
The HTT has the ability to setup several brightness levels, this is triggered from last touch. When touch, the
display will go back to the original backlight brightness.
Ex:
100% 1m 90% 5m 50% 20m 0% TOUCH 100%
10 Mounting
For custom mounting options, such a custom touch panel or mounting ears, please contact us.
10.1 HTT50G Series
Our G series extended capacitive touch with a double-sided adhesive already applied on the exposed back side of
the over-sized cover glass. This provides an extraordinarily strong double-sided foam tape that adheres to a broad
range of surfaces such as aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, composites, plastics, acrylic, polycarbonate,
ABS and painted or sealed wood and concrete.
Adhesive: 3M VHB 0.6mm (3M 5925) or similar.
The tape can maintain its bond in environments of 100% relative humidity at 38°C, and can withstand
temperatures up to 149°C.
Figure 2: Installation
Figure 3: Completed Assembly
Application Best Practices:

MATRIX ORBITAL 14 Phone: [phone]
Email: [e-mail]
•Prepared by cleaning the surface with a 50:50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol
•Ideal application temperature 21C/70F to 38C/100F. At room temperature 50% bond strength in 20
minutes, 90% 24 hours, 100% after 72 hours.
•Firm application pressure develops better adhesive contact and helps improve bond strength. We
recommend applying approximately several kilograms evenly across the entire glass area. The adhesive
ideally requires 100 kPa/15psi of pressure for good surface contact.
10.2 HTT50A Series
The A series uses 4 mounting points with a 3.05mm diameter. M3 and 4/40 screws can be used. Chassis grounding
is optionally provided, please contact us for more information.
11 Getting Started
When connecting your HTT display, power must first be applied through the Micro Mate-N-Lok or optional barrel
jack header. Once powered, connect the HTT to your source HDMI cable.
When properly connected…
Windows
When connected to Windows, the HTT’s resolution will be automatically detected and set through the on-board
EDID. The HTT display should immediately appear in display settings. No additional software setup will be
required.
Raspberry Pi
Some setup will be required before the display can be used with a Raspberry Pi unit. The HDMI resolution will
have to be configured through the config.txt file (located in /boot/config.txt).
The following modifications can be made to the Raspberry Pi’s config.txt file, forcing the HTT’s resolution settings:
#Set the Monitor mode to DMT.
hdmi_group=2
#Use a custom resolution.
hdmi_mode=87
#Use an 800 x 480 resolution @ 60Hz
hdmi_cvt= 800 480 60 6 0 0 0
#Deliver max current through USB
Max_usb_current=1
The configuration lines listed above will configure the Raspberry Pi to drive an 800 x 480 display at 60Hz.
TinkerBoard & BeagleBone
The HTT will be compatible with TinkerOS-Debian. Once connected, the Tinkerboard will autodetect the HTT’s
display settings. No further software configuration is required.
The HTT is not fully compatible with TinkerOS-Android Marshmallow.
The BeagleBone board will autodetect the HTT’s EDID display settings automatically. No further software
configuration is required.

12 USB Drivers
The touch panel is configured as a HID-Compliant Touch Screen. The touch panel will respond to finger gestures
differently depending on the host features.
Once the HTT is properly installed on Windows, 2 new devices will be present in Device manager.
USB Composite Device
13 TFT & Extended Display Information Data
EDID
The HTT’s on-board EDID comes preconfigured, so users won’t have to worry about setting up their screen
resolution or display timings. Once plugged in, the EDID settings will be read automatically, setting the HTT’s
display resolution. For modifications or custom EDID please contact us.

14 Troubleshooting
Power
To function correctly, the HTT must be supplied with the appropriate power. If the power LED near the top right
corner of the board is not illuminated, power is not applied correctly. Try the tips below.
•HTT devices have specific power requirements. Ensure the correct voltage and sufficient current are
available to your device by consulting the power table.
•Check the power cable that you are using for continuity. If you don't have an ohmmeter, try using a
different power cable; if this does not help try a different power supply.
Display
If your display is powered successfully and connected to an HDMI source, the video feed should appear on screen
immediately. The video signal should be clean, and the picture should fit the viewing area of the display. If this is
not the case, check out these tips.
•If you are connected to a single board computer, such as a Raspberry Pi, and your screen displays a
white screen on start-up, or slowly fade to white, please check the Config.txt file to ensure that the
display is properly configured.
•If the display is flickering, or if the display’s backlight is not consistent, try supplying additional power
through the display’s barrel jack.
•If your display shows picture but there are white lines along the edge(s) of the display, your display
may be receiving the incorrect number of pixels. The HTT does not have a resolution scaler, and
therefore the appropriate 800 x 480 resolution must be specified for all the pixels to be used.
Touch
The HTT50 can be ordered with a touch panel. When the touch panel is properly configured the touch cursor will
accurately follow your finger as it moves across the screen. If the cursor is not responding to your touches, or if
the cursor is offset from your finger, try the following:
•If you are using a resistive touch display, try downloading the HTT Calibration Software, available on
our website here: https://www.matrixorbital.com/software/htt-calibration
Once downloaded, run the calibration program and follow the instructions that appear on screen.
•If you are using a capacitive touch display, make sure the screen is clear of debris or droplets.
