Re: DriverCore SDK

Thank you, that's awesome! You guys truly have an outstanding support staff. I've checked the sources, and managed to make it work already. The only thing doesn't seem to work is IOCTL_GET_DEFAULT_CONTRAST. What sort of calling convention do I have to use for that? I've tried it like IOCTL_GET_DEFAU...

Re: Full bitmap display on USB GLK

Thank you for your reply. I'm afraid I cannot upload the image or an animation to the device, since what I'm building is a dashboard-like bitmap with gauges, graphs, bars (etc), and any part of that bitmap could change between frame updates. Usually only a small portion of the bitmap changes, so I'm...

Re: Proper way of changing baud rate on USB GLK?

Thank you for your reply. One more concern/question about baud rate: on which USB-based Matrix Orbital LCD products can we safely increase the default baud rate of 19200 to 115k? Or any device would work at 115k, as long as they use a USB connector? Or maybe RS232 products can do the same as well?

Full bitmap display on USB GLK

Hi, Is it possible to display full-screen 240x128 bitmap images on GLK LCDs, without the update rate falling to 0.1 FPS or such? My best idea about getting around the slow communication is using direct draw pixel commands, but only on the pixels that's changed since the last update (last frame). How...

Proper way of changing baud rate on USB GLK?

Hi, New user here. I'm wondering what's the proper way of increasing the baud rate from the default setting of 19200 to 115k, if the application driving the LCD uses FTD2XX API calls. Should I do this: FT_OpenEx(...) FT_SetBaudRate(handle,19200) FT_SetDataCharacteristics(handle,FT_BITS_8,FT_STOP_BIT...

DriverCore SDK

Hi, New user here. I'd like to display full-screen bitmaps on a recently purchased GX Typhoon LCD, from my own application. I'm wondering whether it would be possible to gain access to the DriverCore SDK. I'd like to drive the LCD from a regular Windows C++ application, so it's not dotNET. Thanks, F...
