Displaying Videos and Images on 4Dsystems uOLED Serially

[rmteo]

I found the answer to my question here GOLDELOX-SGC - applies to both GOLDELOX AND PICASSO processors.

NOTE: The architecture of the base GOLDELOX device is such that it can be reconfigured either as the GOLDELOX-SGC or the GOLDELOX-GFX2. This chip-level configuration is easily achieved by re-programming the chip with the appropriate PmmC file.

* GOLDELOX-SGC : for Serial Platform (slave graphics controller)

* GOLDELOX-GFX2: for 4DGL Platform (stand alone host graphics controller)

Hello,

i'm also interesting on the 3.2in. 4DGL-Platform LCD-TFT, and the RFID code.

First of all i would like to order one of the 3.2in 4DGL. Is it easy to program?

Does the screen comes with a usb adapter for programming?

on the following page i see and serial displays.

which is the ones can be easier controlled?

Dear Mr. RFEFX if you complete the code with sound we would like to see also an example.

thanks.

sorry for my questions in here.

I would like to ask you about the GFX and SGC.

as from here,

SGC PmmC:
By loading the SGC (Slave Graphics Controller) PmmC, the module is 'ready to go' by simply connecting it to the serial port of your favourite micro-controller, and sending serial commands to it.
The Serial Command Set for GOLDELOX can be found here:
GOLDELOX-SGC-COMMANDS-SIS-rev3


GFX PmmC:
By loading the GFX (Stand-Alone Graphics Controller) PmmC, the module is then like a microprocessor which you program, using the 4DGL language (very similar to C), to control the internal graphics and external interfaces.
The 4DGL language command set and functions for GOLDELOX can be found here:
GOLDELOX-GFX2-4DGL-Internal-Functions-rev2

I understand that if i get the GFX then i need to right a program in 4D language which i dont wont.

If i get the SGC, then i only need to control my PIC with inly serial out port.

so if i understand, i can get the loaded pictures or Videos from the SD that is located in the LCD and display it.

yes yes i know i do ask a lot of questions, but sorry i'm not really a programmer. I just want to use simple functions and code in order to call the files from the SD card, using the picbasic and display it to the LCD.

thanks.


after all i also found that
http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10090

this is with GFX but the processor is GOLDELOX. According to that http://www.4dsystems.com.au/prod.php?id=71 can be modified it to SGC?

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
