Can't get bar graphs to work

Ok, I just got my GLK12232-25-SM and I cannot get iit to display the bargraphs, big text letters (4-line clock) or any spectrum analysers-- it just gives me numbers instead. Do I need to load a text file? Please help.

Thanks

Sounds more like a speed issue... use MOGD to see first if you can talk to the display, and display some text. What software are you trying to use? Sjaaks plugin works great!

I'm trying to use lcdc and I've tried Sjaak's program and neither will work. I know my lcd works because I can get lcdc to display time/date and other simple 1-line things, but nothing much more advanced.

Also, while running lcdc, the virtual display also shows these numbers instead of bar graphs, large numbers, etc.

Try following http://users.ox.ac.uk/~some0814/The%20G ... guide..doc and see if you can get lcdc to work for text. Bar graphs need a little more work anyway, and equalizers are a big no no in lcdc

Let me know how you go on, cheers,

Rob.

Thanks Cheese, but text has not been a problem, I just wanted to get a little more use out of the software.

I can't help with Sjaak's program - henry stole my graphic lcd from under my nose before it was released*

For bargraphs in lcdc you need to add the bargraph characters to the font you're using and then add a line to the lcdc def. file which tells lcdc where to find your characters in the character set - I forget the exact command line, ask mat on the lcdc forums.

Cheers,

Rob.
