Pretty cool display and development board PIC_LCD3310

[ScaleRobotics]

Here is an include file from the forum that has been modified/updated to work with the Olimex PIC_LCD3310 PIC18F67J50 board. Also included an example.

Here is the LCD_3310ex.txt:

DEFINE OSC 48

include "modedefs.bas"
include "LCD_3310.pbp"
start:
pause 100

gosub Lcd_Init                     'Initialize LCD
gosub Lcd_Clear                     'Clear contents of screen
pause 50

PosX = 30                          'position 30 of 84 in the x direction
PosY = 1                           'row 1 (of 0-5)
gosub Lcd_GotoXY
Lcd_Data = "H"
gosub Lcd_SendChar
Lcd_Data = "E"
gosub Lcd_SendChar
Lcd_Data = "L"
gosub Lcd_SendChar
Lcd_Data = "L"
gosub Lcd_SendChar
Lcd_Data = "O"
gosub Lcd_SendChar


PosX = 30                        'position 30 of 84 in the x direction
PosY = 4                         'row 4 (of 0 to 5)
gosub Lcd_GotoXY
Lcd_Data = "W"
gosub Lcd_SendChar
Lcd_Data = "O"
gosub Lcd_SendChar
Lcd_Data = "R"
gosub Lcd_SendChar
Lcd_Data = "L"
gosub Lcd_SendChar
Lcd_Data = "D"
gosub Lcd_SendChar
Lcd_Data = "!"
gosub Lcd_SendChar

pause 5000

end

This include file makes it a little easier to print to these 3310 displays. Otherwise a lot of code is required for printing each character. This simplifies printing text, as well as variables.
To use printstr and printvar:

@ PrintStr 0,0, "If I write more than one line, it will scroll to the next one, and next."

@ PrintVar 0,0, _anyvariablehere

Hi,
Looks very tidy. Have you been able to use the SDcard and other peripherals?
Does any demo software come with the unit?

[ScaleRobotics]

It comes with some C code, which has been handy to take a look at some of the way they did things. The manufacturer's site is here: http://olimex.com/dev/pic-lcd3310.html

I have not gotten around to the SD-CARD yet, but that is on my wish list. I did play around with the tilt sensor. Art, I have really enjoyed your youtube examples, (scrolling leds, and the odometer lcd rolls!) so I have one for you, only mine is too long, and less entertaining.

Here is the tilt sensor thread: http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=10880

Cool, I can see a tilt controlled car racing game as long as you
can set a pixel anywhere on the screen.
