Re: LCD 2041 Garbage

Hi Sid, You are not doomed. Are you looking to reset the Start Screen back to the default? After the start up screen on the LCD2041 is changed you can't necessarily change it back to the original. We have a program that you can use to set the unit back to the start screen though. It is called BootEd...

Re: LCD 2041 Garbage

Hi Sid, When using uProject the auto detect will not detect newer displays. Namely it will not detect your LCD2041. You will have to manually select the port and baud rate. When you set the display to manual override and have powered the display on: remove the jumper with uProject open, go into the ...

Re: dislay on a car

Hi krisstek, This is possible to do. The display will display anything you send to it. Although you will have to format it properly to show what you will want it to display. Depending on the ECUs output, you may have to translate the data so it can be properly read and displayed on the device. Thank...

Re: LCD0821 Random Characters

Hi Bob, Please see Page 9 of 64 in the I2C Protocol document here: http://www.nxp.com/documents/user_manual/UM10204.pdf Please let me know if this helps. This functionality may be hidden to you in the library you are using. I use a Arduino UNO and before transmitting I use the Wire.BeginTransmision(...

Re: LCD0821 Random Characters

Hi Bob, I meant a delay before each command. I have replicated the random character that you are getting on your display. I get it two seconds after I send data to my display without sending a "Stop Condition" at the end of the data. With that being said this may be the cause in your case....

Re: LCD0821 Random Characters

Hi Bob, Have you tried putting in a delay on the start up and within the data stream? A random Character like this can be caused by too much data going to the display at a time or just the flow of data is too fast. Placing a delay can help the display process all the data properly. Try placing a del...

Re: LCD0821 Random Characters

Hi Bob Thank you for posting on our forums! I understand you are using the LCD0821 in I2C mode with a PIC Microcontroller and are getting a random character on the display at different times. Is the character always the same character? Or is it different each time? For example is it always a 'P'? Yo...

Re: I2C Developers Information.

tvoglund, I am not sure as to what the commands you are sending. But please be sure to have the proper jumpers set in your "Protocol Selection Jumpers" at the rear of the display. Also be sure to send the command "Transmission Protocol Select" to the display before sending any ot...

Re: I2C Developers Information.

tvoglund, Yes there are fonts loaded into your display as a default. They are loaded into ID 1 and 2. For the character space this is the space you would like to have between characters. When setting labels I use a character spacing of 0 or 1, but you could use a larger space. If you have any other ...

Re: I2C Developers Information.

tvoglund,

Yes the slave address of 80 is in decimal. As default the display is set to have the slave address of 80, this will be your write address. The read address will set to 81.

Re: gx typhoon, winamp screen lockup

darkvader71, .NET Framework 4.0 shouldn't be an issue. The issue of the GX freezing has been happening since before 4.0 was released. I have somewhat replicated the freezing issue you are having, although it was within the first screen not the winamp screen that you have sent me. With that I restart...

Although I am using WinAmp version 5.65, Windows 7 x64 and Intel i5-3570 Could you maybe upgrade your WinAmp to 5.65 see...
