Hey Folks...

If you have any source code you would wish to share with the rest of the community, please let me know and I will host it here. Currently we have one new example here.

new one...

Yeah, you gotta love the POSIX Perl module, but using it keeps that from being portable to Windoze.

I'm trying (but not very hard) to puzzle out how to get that to work under Perl (the best language evar ) on Windoze.

I could write a delphi, or even pascal unit file that would simplify everything for the delphi/pascal developer, or what do you think of a universal DLL, which simplifies the task of writing programs for your lcd's for everydeveloper which uses a programming language capable of using DLL's...

But I don't have a lcd ... (hint hint hint, if you give me one, I'll make it for ya!)

Please e-mail me henryj@matrixorbital.com or ICQ me.

I have a self written object for Delphi, that drives an HD44780 comp. LCD. I'm currenty cleaning code so I have different classes for different LCD's.

Base class: TLCD with sub-class THD44780LCD. This will be open-source as soon as I cleaned the code up a bit, and 4x40 support is ok (its a bit flaky now). And when I have the time, and bought an MO LCD, there also will be a TMOLCD for the MO LCD's.

Hi Henry

My friend Kirk (I think you talked to him on ICQ) and I are currently working on a project, we are at the moment still in the planning stage though.

What I was wondering is could you give me some tech information on the products.

Cheers

[Henry]

Like what? the products pages have everything you should need... Do you have any specific question?

[Lcars]

What I was meaning is there a bios on the LCD panel pcb, if you memory address would be useful, or is it just the matter of talking to the LCD just by only using the serial/parallel port, ie sending a command to the port to display/change data actually being display!

Hope this made some sense!

Read the specs.. all the info you need to drive the LCD's is there.

[Henry]

Our serial Displays are inteligent. You do not have to deal with memory addresses. There is a command set, which you use and talk to the LCD.

Ex... to clear the screen
0xFE
'X'

to turn the backlight off...
0xFE
'B'

and so on... check the manual of the display you are interested in for the complete command set.

how about that dll that relix would write? any news on that project?

I'm sitting here eager to test my limited programming knowledge in delphi...

[Henry]

It's being worked on, don't worry... we should see something very soon!

[santa]

ooohhhh that sounds good!!!

[Henry]

Beta testing is starting soon
