T6963 / RA6963 LCD controller with PBP

[Ioannis]

The GLCD I think is a bit difficult subject. I tried once and left it for a later time.

Every contribution is most welcome. And since Henrik has a 'Contributor' level it means that is a great giver. So post #7 is not very appropriate answer especially to Henrik. He deserved a better one. Or do not answer at all.

Really? I posted a link to another BASIC site that provided source code. Is only providing PBP source code considered a better one?

Perhaps here. As I said, I posted a link to another BASIC site where they developed a library/driver for T6963 as well as KS0108 GLCD's - they don't seem to have problems.

Yes but you need a good understanding of that other basic lanquage...

Agreed. And that is why I consider coding ability alone (particularly if you are limited to a single specific language) a pretty insignificant skill.

Hi Henrik,

A couple years ago I make a controller for a th AlphaVibe a medical vibration Vibe. The LCD is Winstar 240x128. (Toshiba T6963C) The complete firmware is in PICBASIC. Incl. de smardcard reader (for uploading Images and fitness programs), Touchscreen, serial slave keyboard, controll a frequent inverter etc. For the graphics lib I use the GLCD of Compsys1. This works very well! To load the image into the external eeproms, a write a simple image loader (smartcard -> E2P).

If you need any help, let me know.

Hi,
Nice product!
I'm working on it on and off and it's comming together slowly. Currently I'm working on the Bresenham algorithm, trying to squeeze as much performance as I can out of it. When lines are done I'll move on to circles/arcs.

I've looked at the files available at the Compsys website (here specifically)and while it does provide some pointers and ideas there is, as far as I can see, quite a few routines being called which are not actually included in the files (must be somewhere else which I've missed). For example put_char is called multiple times in glt6963c.bas but the actual subroutine is nowhere to be found. Neither in glipict2.bas or glt6963c.bas. Same thing with gl_init, put_it, gl_rect, gl_circ and so on.

Like I said, they must be in some other file on the site which I haven't found. But I'll just reinvent the wheel and write it myself... ;-)

Thanks!
/Henrik.

Hi Henrik,

If have take a look on by PC. The file name is ctrllib.bas (Graphic library of subroutines for use with a Toshiba T6963C, incl Windows GLCD Tools adn Image Converter).

And I have pay some US$ for the source code of the guys of compsys1.
