Graphic LCD with PICbasic pro

[mister_e]

There's nothing to explain... KS0108 is not a T6963 that's it. From memory.. T6963 have built-in fonts, while KS0108 don't.

Everything is in their respective datasheet, and i'd post more than enough link to get you started with your GLCD.

I will release my own KS0108 GLCD lib here probably in a week or so.. nothing free, but will be really easy to use.

EDIT: YES you should at least use my link to circuit-ed datasheet to begin.

EDIT2: thought confirm by futz

Oh! If it's a KS0108 then there is no character generator. It's all graphic. You build your own fonts and code up a way to display them.

Perhaps you should consider graphic LCD's with a serial interface. They cost more but communication is far easier, and as a bonus, these LCD's typically provide simple commands for circles, rectangles, multi-fonts, etc.

Just google for "serial graphic LCD"

Are Serial GLCD's a viable option when you want to sell lots of kit.

What about the need odd size units how do you cater for them?

IMHO its far cheaper to find a compiler that supports GLCD's or at least has access to routines that can use them.

Hi,

Sooooo,

Why do you loose your precious time here ??? LOL

Good Question, no ???

My serial interface is self-made , ... so my main µP can do anything useful else than address stupid pixels ... LOL

So..... is that your answer to every one?

If some one makes a valid suggestion that in circumstances were the compiler does not suit the application its actually more economical to use another one for that job.

You then tell them to get lost?

don't worry with Alain, must be one of his bad days

So..... is that your answer to every one?

Definitly YES !!!

IF product doesn't suit your OWN requirements ... no use to loose your time. if " Time is money " for you ...

You want what PBP doesn't offer you ... why heavily insist ???

Lots of people have asked the same question as you ... in the right Forum section. One more may decide Melabs to add GLCD to the libraries ...

Who knows ???

Now one thing is sure ... PBP allows you to create your own driver ... without too many pain !!!

Hi again,imagine that i want to write "A" on this LCD,could you send me a sample code with picbasic pro that help me to know how can i work with this LCD?
