Furbox has two NICs, one connected to the big bad internet, one connected to the home network. (lots of scary dremeling was required for #2!) All the internal services such as file sharing attach to the internal interface only. Traffic is blocked at the external interface with a deny-by-default poli...

I went to special lengths to make sure it doesn't get too warm. The orb CPU fan sticks right out into the air, and pulls room air right onto the CPU. The power supply fan ejects air right out of the box, it ends up running runs fairly cool, since there's a well defined airflow over the important par...

A GLK 12232-SM complements furbox very well. The pictures don't do this beauty justice:

<P> I finally made some utilities available today for creating and uploading bitmaps from linux, w00t! You can download them from the <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mo-bitmaps/">sourceforge project page.</a> They're just perl scripts, so should be usable on a number of platforms,...

Hey, that'd be grreat to get some space on lcdforums.com.

Oh, and schweet case!

I had some trouble with bitmaps too. The manuals are incorrect in that the command is (254 94) instead of (254 110) as printed. I'm ready to release some perl scripts for bitmap file manipulations, but my web host is having difficulties at the moment (I've applied for a space on sourceforge, they sa...

I'd like to use the fonts available on the downloads page, and can't use mogd.exe again. I'm hoping to get the format of the data in these zips so I can convert them to files in the format described in the manual. The zips each contain a file FONT.mgf, and a directory containing files of the form NN...

I've successfully uploaded a bitmap, using command 94. (!!yay! look for screenshots in the near future). <B> The manuals should be updated </B> to ensure that no one else wastes time using 110 like I did. Are there printed copies (of the updated version!) available? Are there other errata to watch o...

I think you meant "..is for bitmap upload."? Though I see something I've been worried about: <CODE>ZComm1->WriteCommByte('^'); // Upload Bitmap command</CODE> Shoot, my original topic was incorrect, I have a GLK 12232-25SM (which gets a 0x24 back from (255,55)), not a 1223225, but accordin...

any plans for documenting the scroll feature? It's the "the commands" part of "0x99 and then the commands" that I'm wondering about . I'm doing some sort of scrolling with 0x99, but it looks like a drunken chicken is driving it.

Examples would be grrreat! As mentioned in the hardware forum, i'm happily talking with the little guy now, e.g. (254,55) returns the correct model type (0x24). I've been having trouble with bitmap uploading. I'm following the protocol example for font uploads (I've gone through the initial steps of...

woot; It's much happier, (254 55) returns the correct module type now! The trick was to put the serial port in raw mode with "stty raw < /dev/lcd". Actually, it's been a variegated route to get to this point, I've got power going into the red header now. I scared myself though: I was worki...

Right now I'm just trying to upload bitmaps, and come up with some linux tools to do the bitmap conversion and file transer (like pngtopnm <file> | pnmtomobmp | mo_upload -N 2 ). I've found lots of perl/python libraries for text LCD manipulation, but now the world needs my forthcoming python graphic...

I'm a little bit confused by the <A HREF="http://www.matrixorbital.com/manuals/glk1223225sm/index.htm#connections">diagram</A>. It shows, in order from top to bottom with the connectors on the right: <P> GND TX RX +5V </P><P> +5 GND GND +12V </P> For the power connector I've modified my fl...

I'm trying to negotiate bitmap transfers to my GLK12232-25 in linux. The system I installed the display in doesn't run Windows. I've modified the connectors, and it's really a tough to extract mounting job, so I hope I don't have to go back to a windows machine for mogd.exe. I couldn't seem to get t...
