I thought I read somewhere that linux support for interpreting the keypad input from MO units is not supported yet...

So if I use one of the character displays with keypads on a linux box (Redhat) my code would not be able to interpret the keypad commands at this point - correct?

THANKS

I don't have the CD that came with my units and I want to install one in a Win2K box... are the drivers available for download or can somebody email them to me at dconnell@autoairgap.com?

No., no startup screen.

I havn't programmed the serial number.

I havn't received anything from support regarding my request to return these either. I don't have time to 'fix' the product. I need to get a product that works.

From uProject.exe:


Read Module Type = ""
Read Serial Number = FF FF
Read Version Number = FF

I executed the instructions provided and the utility returned success.

This code now results in the output indicated below the snippet
............................................
MSComm1.Output = Chr(254) & Chr(72)
MSComm1.Output = "AAAAAAA"
MSComm1.Output = Chr$(254) & Chr$(71) & Chr$(1) & Chr$(2 ...

Okay... well it's nice to know that I'm not crazy or inept. It is disconcerting that I've spent this much time working through this when it simply may be a quality control issue...

Please advise on how I can fix this asap, I'll be back at this late thursday evening/night est

Thanks. I've been trying to develop software for my automated airgap switches (www.autoairgap.com) to enable me to get away from having to have customers use a hyperterminal to control/configure the devices...

I've been struggling with these two initial units (lcds) for some time now... argh ...

When I send chr$(254) & chr$(54)... nothing happens.

The lcdtester I have from matrixorbital is returning a version 32... I believe. It wouldnt recognize the unit until I manually updated the database to 0x36 from 0x6

How can I tell?

I would have expected this code to place the cursor home (left - line 1), then output an 'H' with block/blinking cursor, then output an 'I' with an underline cursor.

It simply results in an 'I' in the home position.

Private Sub Command3_Click()
MSComm1.Output = Chr$(254) & Chr$(72)
MSComm1.Output ...

LCDC says its an LK202-24-USB or MX2xx rev1-3

Cannot seem to get either the block cursor or the blinking cursor to come on.

mscomm1.output = chr$(254) & chr$(74) does nothing....

nor does 254 + 83...

I'm not having any difficulty with anything else... so I think I have a grasp of how to use the commands. I need this to assist with keypad ...
