Deal on a 1.8" 160x128 Color LCD @ US $9.99

Hello group,


I want to share with you a deal on a 1.8" 160x128 Color LCD @ US $9.99:

It's a pre-order deal. I do use these displays because they come with an integrated MCU to process the commands and graph engine. There is an Arduino Demo Code Video on Youtube (see link on the page). Here is an example of what I did with the 160x128 OLED:





They have backpacks for text LCD too. The nice thing is you can use a LCD with just 1 pin.

Tip: to design my user interfaces I connect the LCD to a USB UART to TTL and I do all the programming in Visual Basic. It's a lot faster than compile/flash a PIC. When I'm done I copy/paste the code to my PBP project!

HTH!

Thanks, might get one to play with (if shipping cost doesn't kill the deal).
And nice work on the interface, mind sharing some code for other PBP users?

As for the display spec:
* Wide viewing range, 190 degrees up-down, 60 degrees left-right
Impressive....

Well which one is it? OLED or LCD? That's a pretty good deal for an OLED $9.99. The one in the attached link is an LCD.

[MichelJasmin]

The deal is for the LCD.

Henrik: At work I maintain our GPS tracking system. I made this device to diagnose the GPS units but I can't post the code. I'm working on a personnal fun project involving ESP8266+GPS+OLED 160x128. I'll share some code when done... Stay tuned!

Hello Michel,

I bought some Digole units on eBay some time ago.

But, I couldn´t get it working with PicBaisc Pro.

Do you have any source code example for this display (I bought 128x64 Oled and 128x64 Ks0108)

My best regards,

Sérgio Pinheiro

All the displays have the same commands set which makes code portable. The text ones have less commands.
All the commands must be terminated by CR (13) or null (0), this is probably your problem.

Go to http://www.digole.com/ and download the user manual.

Here is a simple example:

OLED_BAUDRATE   con 84      '9600
OLED            var PORTA.5 'serout2 pin


'Allow time for the display to initialize.
'You can download (just once) your own graphic or a set of commands as a splash screen. Make nicer devices!
'The splash screen is displayed right at the power up so you won't get a black screen for the initialisation time.
PAUSE 1000

'CurSor off
serout2 OLED, OLED_BAUDRATE, ["CS", 0]

'CLear screen 
serout2 OLED, OLED_BAUDRATE, ["CL", 0] 

'TT command to display a TexT string
'Display Hello world
serout2 OLED, OLED_BAUDRATE, ["TTHello world", 0]

'TRT command to move text cursor to next line(call Text ReTurn)
serout2 OLED, OLED_BAUDRATE, ["TRT", 0]

'Set Font 10
serout2 OLED, OLED_BAUDRATE, ["SF", 10, 0]

'Display Hello world again!
serout2 OLED, OLED_BAUDRATE, ["TTHello world again!", 0]

I'll share more with my "fun project". I'm just too busy...


The KS0108 doesn't have a backpack, you canget one there http://www.digole.com/index.php?productID=535
