2x16 LCD Graphics :)

I had to write an iPhone simulator App to do the vector rotation on the 3D cube but got it:



It takes sixteen bytes per frame to store a list of coordinates in lookup tables
not compressed in any way. The pic still has to look up the points, and draw lines between them.
This makes a more simple to understand user program.
Now it's produced, it's very simple. The pic program just looks up sixteen bytes and
draws lines between those coordinates for every frame. I took out anything fancy.

If you calculate vector rotation on another platform is it still 3D graphics?

Who said you only get eight custom characters?

LCD Freedom - World's First HD44780 POV!

Wow, awesome job Art! Quite impressive!

Thanks
It took a 20MHz clock to control the entire display, with all four cubes different,
but I could make videos forever
Since the video framerate is not synced to the pic's clock in any way,
and therefore the LCD backlight strobe frequency, it looks better here than the video comes up.

Normally, Noritake will provide you with a dot matrix VFD sample to play with,
but only if you live in US or Canada:

That's really quite nice, so ppl should be aware of that.

Suspecting that POV will work great with VFD, I promised a great demo including
their logo, in return for them sending me some 2x16 character modules.
They have replied with a suggestion display which is a HD44780, so it looks good

I don't think I'm finished with them.
I think it's possible to do greyscale graphics on a monochrome dot matrix VFD.

I didn't find the source for your AWESOME 2D LCD Graphics on the link you provided. I do not do PBP much nowadays but your demo is so cool, I want to try it out.
Cheers

Freewebs canned my free web hosting.
If you pm me an email address I’ll send it.
