Need help with my GLK24064-25!!!

Post by natanel_r »

I have just got the GLK24064-25 but I don't know how to make it show the information of my system just like the picture in the Matrix Orbital website!
How did they do that???
Here is the picture: http://209.35.221.142/pix/l24064-mother-yg-600.jpg

Hello...

This picture is a bitmap that is loaded to the display accordingly. Depending upon the type of information you want to show and where you want to show it, a bitmap can be used in conjunction with your firmware application. For example, if you want to display the temperature with a thermometer next to it and have the two adjust as the temperature fluctuates, then a bitmap will need to be generated in a selected position. As the temperature rises, the text will change and the thermometer can be changed by adding the additional pixels and etc...!!! :D

This bitmap is just an example....You can just about display anything that is required. Depending on the type of system or environment you want to utilize the display for....things like temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction etc, can be visually represented...
