Graphic LCD support?

[heliosentric]

Do you think about adding functions to control Graphic LCDs (PicBasic)?

Thanks...

I agree graphic support would be nice. Graphic displays are more complicated but PBP support could simplify text and bargraph routines, especially for the novice.

Thanks Markedwards.

I'd guess the main reason for no graphic support is all the different types of graphic LCD's out there. If MELabs offered support for say the KS0108 type, people would want some other LCD variety supported too.

The graphic LCD's are really fairly easy to use if you read the data sheets several times (the data sheets are typically pretty poor translations).

There is also a web-site with some sample code:

Writing your own code allows you to tailor everything to your specific needs, without filling up a whole '876!

Dear All,

i would like to use GLCD but i cannot do it as your discussion here.

I only found on the net that PROTON and micro e are able to control very easy GLCD.

The problem is that we are using now picbasic and i dont wont to change from that, i'm used to it.

Is there any plan to see an update of the picbasic pro for supporting the GLCD?

Did you search the forum for your particular model of GLCD?

Did you start a thread asking for help on code or schematic?

There's already several examples on these forums. Sometimes you can use techniques used for one model and customize it for another with just a few tweaks.

There was one particular model that I had used that had no examples anywhere on the web. I started with the datasheet, found a "close model" and went on from there.

Putting too much functionality into PICs is not necessarily a good idea, it takes up space. Imagine if all PICs now had DT's interrupt, barely enough room to LCDOUT "Hello" on most of them, if at all.

Yes, yes its great idea. We need the Graphic LCD library. We look forward to this support.

thanks a lot

And I suppose you'd like it to fit into a 1K Memory device like 16F84 ????

Try being serious !!! Just have a look to what exists on the subject ...with a serial input and "line, circle, etc .." commands, it just needs a 16F876@20 Mhz... for a 64 x 128 display.

And it's full from full's ... LoL !!!

Look at this forum title "PBP Wish List".

And this is my wish. It can be or not. Please Dont move with your supposition and please be careful your words. I bought this compiler and I gave my money for this compiler so I have chance to express my wish to the engineers of the PBP. If the Customer Support of this compiler is good they will consider our wishes. If this wish is possible they will talk about, if its not they will talk about agian.

thank you so much.

Hi, Muskut

IF you daren't read your manual, how will you do for such a complicated piece of software...

hmmmm ????
