The software is aimed at graphical displays so the textmode displays just can't handle it, the GLK/GLC Series could be supported but you are taking a severe framerate hit on those since they have 115k2 bandwidth at most while the GX being a full speed usb device gives you a maximum of 12Mbit.

Do you have any specific other display in mind?

Logitech probably figured people would want to do that and put a chunk of their code into all aplications that use the G15 so you can't just replace some dll with one of your own and redirect output.

The only way this probably could work is probably emulate the full G15 usb device using the Device ...

There was a small mistake in the mgf file, It defined the characters a different size then the actual bmp's where. I Fixed the file for you, enjoy!

In the code i posted in this topic paste the following code just before CloseHandle line.

Code: Select all

   while (true)
   {
	   ReadFile(hCom,buffer,1,&br,NULL);
	   if (br != 0)
		   printf("%.2x\n",buffer[0]);
   }

It would print out all Characters recieved.

replace

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)

with

int main(int argc, char **argv)

and set the character set in project options to anything but unicode and you should be fine.

While raquels quick rundown of the command is correct the protocol has a little robustness build in so you can be sure the 16k you send actually gets into the module without any communication errors.

Here's a typical conversation for the fs upload command:

1 ) Send (File System Upload) 254/176/<4 ...

Are you running 32 or 64 bit vista? I took some screenshots while installing hte MX on a clean (32 bit) vista system with the zip raquel linked unpacked on my desktop.

when following those steps does it work out for you then?

if you are trying ...

Add a include to Windows.h and you should be fine with that code.

Since you already have the SDK you must have noticed MCE is pretty much all managed code, if you want to get started quickly i suggest switching to C# of VB and using Omar Shahine's front panel sdk

Then all you need to do is implement an interface and talking to the display, talking to the display ...

Private Sub Form_Load()
MSComm1.Settings = "19200,N,8,1"
MSComm1.CommPort = 3
MSComm1.InputLen = 0
MSComm1.RThreshold = 1
MSComm1.PortOpen = True
End Sub

Private Sub SendText(text As String)
MSComm1.Output = Chr$(&HFE) & Chr$(&H58)
MSComm1.Output = text
End Sub

Private Sub MSComm1 ...

Thats because you can only have 8 custom characters due to the controller used on these displays.

The device listed as Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller is part of your motherboard , check the manufacturers site for updated drivers for your chipset. After that is working your MX would probably be recognized as such.

Any chance he'd specify if that would be the VCP or D2XX driver?

Like jeroen said, you need the .net framework.
