Hi all,
I received my serial LCD controller board and completed the preliminary tests.
The board performs as advertised and is easy to use. It will be a really big help for someone who doesn’t have spare I/Os or doesn’t feel like fighting the “LCD war”.
I’m happy and the picture Rene posted shows it.
The Exerciser application is also a good, helpful tool.
On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 9+. It should be a “must” in everybody’s inventory.
Good job Rene.
I’m not sure how much is involved to change a couple of things that, in my opinion, will make the controller even more desirable:
• Change the control of the two outputs from “Toggle” to direct “High” or “Low” commands for full user control.
• Give user access to customized splash screen and (or) perform an automatic delayed CLS.
One possible problem to report: I was unable to communicate with the controller at 1200 and 38400 baud rates. I can’t say for sure if it was my setup or there is a problem. The controller will “connect” but will not receive anything after that. I’m mostly interested in 38400.
Regards,
Nick M
