Displaying Videos and Images on 4Dsystems uOLED Serially

[rmteo]

You are right that with SGC, you control the display with a serial port (PIC, PC or any other serial source). To get a complete list of SGC commands, download the 116-page manual here http://www.4dsystems.com.au/download...S-SIS-rev6.pdf

Note that no matter which version you get (SGC or GFX), you can switch from one mode to the other by changing the PmmC file. At any time, you can reload the PICASO chip with either PmmC which allows you to explore the differences between the two configurations.

For example, to display a video stored on the SD card, you send a series of bytes to the display as in the example below.

that is perfect.

I will place an order for a small ulcd first 1.44" and then i will try a bigger one.

thanks a lot.

The main difference between the large and small displays, besides size, are

1. No touch screen.
2. Less memory.
3. Subset of commands.

I have used both, and they work well. The reference manual for the small display is here http://www.4dsystems.com.au/download...S-SIS-rev4.pdf

i see i ok for programming but when i get it i might need some help.

thanks for your help.

i will place the order for the small 1,44 tomorrow

Hello,

i see that the pins for controlling serialy the 1,5' Oled Display http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8537 is the VCC, TX, RX, GND, RESET

So do i need to use a microcontroller with TX, RX pins? The RX is needed?

On the codes that Mr. RFEFX posted, i think he used only the TX on the controller.

on the next line

serin2 rfidin,396,1000,Logo,[WAIT(10),str BUF\10]

he used the serin for RFID only, the logo command in there goes to serout line

serout2 lcd,84,[$40, $49, $00, $30, $7F, $1F, $10, $01, $8A, $EE]

please could you tell me if i'm wrong. If yes then what do i need the RX for?

thanks.

Is RX needed? That is why I pointed you to the reference manual for both displays.

You can get by without using RX but I would highly recommend that you use it. Take a look at post #12 - you will see that the display returns an ACK if the command is successful, NAK if unsuccessful. This can make your application run more effectively.

rmteo, thanks once more for your help.

That's why i ask you, now i see the response from the RX.

I have some SD cards here, and i would like to format them in windows 7 64bit.

I read some forum and manuals but i didnt see the format of erasing the microsd.

I did the following configuration.

Capacity : 1,83Gb
file system: FAT (default)
Alocation unit size: default
Format option: -

the only thing i found is the following migh also be interesting for you.
