SETI LCD

Shak · Post by **Shak** » Thu Jan 03, 2002 12:31 pm

Hiyas Guys,
I am writing a program to show SETI stats on a MO LCD in Visual Basic. I was wondering whethre I could have some help.

I need some code that will easily send the text to the LCD. At the moment I am experimenting with the actual Mainframe of the program which reports the information about the SETI onto the VB program.

I am hoping to have it done soon

Check my source code for LCDstats, it's all there. If you need help understanding it i'd be happy to explain.

which modules are they in the source?
does it talk directly to MO LCDs or does it support others?

LCDStats is MO only

it works with Alphanumeric displays. VFDs and LCDs. The command set if 99% the same between them. Only when you hit graphic does it change.

ok, got that.. had to 1. find them... 2. register them manualy... there is comunication now... but it doesn't seem to be working.. if I try to turn the backlight on and off it just makes blocks... but it's a step closer...

(I feel like I'm talking to my self here)

It looks like it's talking, just seems the speed is off... hard code it for com 2 and 19.2K to begin with... what will give us one less thing to worry about.
