thanks for the site

but if i want to add image BITMAP to Graphical LCD
maybe i can use a software to convert it to hex file
and catch these hex numaric, but it should add all of
these hex symbol to basic codes??? like
LCDOUT $c1,$26,........
or is there a simple method to do that??

i have read this site but that site dependece on assembly instructions

Hi,micro

Understand GLCD have ( i.e)128x64 pixels to be driven ...
so to have a picture, you must address them all ...by their code.

just remember There's no miracle ... job has always to be done somewhere !!!
Simple methods hide lots of intelligence ... and work.

THIS (http://www.compsys1.com/workbench/On_top_of_the_Bench/KS0108/ks0108_controller.html) might be a good resource for you. Take a look around their site... lots of good info.

thank you so much for this site, but i have a question is that the principle with mono graphical LCD the same as color graphical LCD or the idea is different??
i use ISIS6 but there is no model for color graphical LCD, do you know how to add it or how to deal with it ????

Sorry, as far as I know, the code on that site will only work with mono LCD's. And for that matter, only LCD's with the KS0108 controller. I'm not familiar with ISIS6. You may be able to find something else on that site or linked sites. I stumbled across that link searching the forums here. Thought someday, I'd like to experiment with a GLCD, but haven't yet. Hope I've steered you in the right direction.... good luck!

thank you for your advices, but i am stil searching about color or polychrome LCD controller but i found nothing yet, all i found a datasheets with general information about specifiactions but not control insructions.
i don't know what to do. any help ???

Hi Micro,

Goto www.earthlcd.com. They have a color LCD that displays graphics, etc.
The product is called ezLCD-001. The ad says it's for the BAsic Stamp.. What is a Basic Stamp? A PIC! Not cheap! $149.00. There are some code examples also that may help you get started. Also MicroElektronica is selling an updated development board (EasyPIC3) with a graphics LCD display available. They have code examples along with the product. Their code is suppose to be easy to convert to PBP.

Hi all,just want to know whether the pic basic pro program can be use to

program a higher resolution like 320 X 240 Dots LCD Module instead of just

the standard 128 X 64 Dots GLCD module?If no then is there any other way

to drive /program those high resolution GLCD?

Thanks.

And yet again, PBP does not have native high level graphic LCD support.
There's too many types/standard/methods to operate them to combine them all into one inclusive package.

If you're looking for the easy route, here's something you may want to take
a look at.

Just received a few samples of these from the mfg for evaluation.

I was very impressed when I fired one up. A single I/O-pin is all you need.

It's like adding a small full-color LCD TV to your project, and controlling it
with simple serial commands.

Looks impressive indeed! Something to add in my next 'new toy' order i guess.

Thanks Bruce!
