Display graphical font using Nokia3310LCD

[tacbanon]

Thanks Steve for the response, I'm still figuring it out how it works(by trial and error ) and learn it in the process..I will post here my result.

I'm still stuck with this simple code I modified from Steve's NokiaGlcd examples..

	DEFINE GLCD_CHAR_IN_EEPROM			   ' store/read character/lookuptable to/from EEPROM
		DEFINE GLCD_STRING_IN_EEPROM		   ' store/read string to/from EEPROM
		DEFINE GLCD_USE_SPECIFIC_CHARACTER	   ' We will define our own set of character to be used
        INCLUDE "..\Include\GLCD_NOKIA.PBP"    ' Plug the Nokia Driver/Wrapper in here
		ASM
		CHARTABLESTART
				ADDCUSTOMCHAR CHR_CUSTOM_0, 0x04, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
				ADDCHAR 'e'
				ADDCHAR 'l'
				ADDCHAR 'o'
				ADDCHAR 'w'
				ADDCHAR 'r'
				ADDCHAR 'd'
				ADDCHAR '!' 
		CHARTABLEEND
		ENDASM        
        
        '
        '------------------------------< Main program >---------------------------------------------
        '
        ASM
        GLCD_CLS     ; Clear the screen (if not initialized yet, it will do automatically)
        GLCDOUT_AT?STR 0,0,"Hello World!"   ; Show String on Line 0
        GLCDOUT_AT?STR 0,1,"Wello World!"   ; Show String on Line 1
        GLCDOUT_AT?STR 0,2,"j"   ; Show String on Line 2
      
        ENDASM


Here:


GOTO Here   ' sit & spin

as I understood characters not defined within CHARTABLESTART and CHARTABLEEND will not be displayed...but I'm still having trouble displaying this character (j) 0x04, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
any idea what I'm missing?

read again the readme.txt file example ...

you have 2 extra argument in ADDCUSTOMCHAR, here you should have
ADDCUSTOMCHAR CHR_CUSTOM_0, 0x04, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
not
ADDCUSTOMCHAR CHR_CUSTOM_0, 0x04, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00

it compiled with no problem now, but custom character won't display on the lcd, probably I'm still doing it wrong..
I'm expecting a letter 'j' in the 3rd row.

        GLCDOUT_AT?STR 0,1,"Wello World!"   ; Show String on Line 1
        GLCDOUT_AT?STR 0,2,"j"   ; Show 'j' on Line 2

I appreciate the time for helping out.

You'll see a J once you'll add it in the character you want to use.... no coincidence why you don't have the H nor the W either

Again it's all explained in the Readme.txt file...

I'm trying to display a 10x11 font size "w" but not displaying right to the lcd...(sorry if I'm very slow catching up )
