How can you display a image or text on a GLCD (parallel), with PBP?
And is it easier if you use a serial converter - this one:

Anyone who has some codesnippets for the Serial Interface?
Best Regards

Hi
I haven't been following your threads closely but thought you might like to take a look at these units from 4dsystems
www.4dsystems.com.au/prod.php?id=10
mix and match they are very easy to use... good support etc
worth a look maybe

It's because i have bought a 128x64 GLCD KS0108 with TouchScreen: http://www.mikroe.com/en/tools/components/Quote:

Thanks, but it's for paralell GLCD's, as i have bought a serial connerter, it's that i'm asking about.
But else, thanks!!
I think what Duncan's wanted to show you, is what you'll find at the bottom of the page... a PBP code example. They also explain few things as well.

OOOPs sorry... saw you asked for the serial code example... damn... http://www.mister-e.org/Pics/Mecontent08
Ohh yes.Quote:

Nice starter, is to compare a working code example and modify it for your need. The following is for 93LC56A EEPROMs

First i would suggest you to begin with parallel mode, then once you exactly know how your GLCD work, add the serial interface in between (after having done some tests with)
Thanks. But how to control a display with that!Quote:

Thanks for all your answers until now.
Small steps...That's how you control a display with that.Quote:

Build something, get it working, build something onto that, get that working, integrate the two, and so on and so on...
Well, let's see. Once you have the parallel thing working, you'll know how the timing is implemented, and how the holly blue beast work... then it's just a matter to change some PORT read/write lines to SHIFTIN/SHIFTOUT statements.Quote:

New Compiler? Well i thought it was you here ;)
No problem at all, i was just kidding a little bit!
Hi, Steve
Don't you think MkB could have the looked-for code snippet ... ???

Well that have it online on the product page.
http://www.mikroe.com/zip/adapters/s...d_examples.zip
Unless you're using their compiler, it's not going to help huh?
I had a look to what could be done ...
But, as "minimal" code exceeds 2k ... license is needed just to watch the assembler, as their libraries are not 'readable' ...
LOL !
Our friend will have to code serially every GLCD Command ... and then write the full GLCD "user" sequence.
Good hair pulling sequence in sight !!!
Do you begin to understand how the 1 Page PbP + Custom libraries limit is a problem ???
Everything is to do by one's own ... here.
Alain
Do you have a code, cause i have a licensed version of Pic Basic Pro??Quote:

All the guys trying to help you out are doing so out of pure kindness and generosity, you might be (are) misinterpreting this.Quote:

I sense that you are maybe a very young chap who wants to get a piece of kit going urgently so that you can place a demo on youtube, well there is nothing wrong with that at all. Any young person wanting to get into electronics has to be music to anybody's ears, and should be encouraged.
However.............................unless you manage to find either a benefactor/mentor, or you pay somebody, or (best choice) take it very slow and learn how to do it gradually yourself.....
its looking very much like your project simply just ain't going to happen mate.

Maybe the title of the thread should've been...."Serial GLCD, gimme?"
I understand. I will try the Parallel first from Compsys and then build it to my own requirements!
Then i could ask in the future about Serial Interface...
Thanks!
