Newbie SPI question

[richard]

can you post a link to the display under consideration, the 2 or 3 that I'm using have no on board cga rom at all

Just a cheap one on e-bay.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2717999411...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I'm guessing that these TFT's need some form of on-board character set similar to normal LCDs, and this one won't have that ?

I have come across a larger display in the US that supports i2c, and seems to have font chip options, so for displaying text http://www.buydisplay.com/default/4-...al-spi-i2c-mcu - lot more expensive, but around the same price as a normal mono 128 x 64 GLCD and i2c piggyback module (see previous thread http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=20033 ) - and I have more space and colour to play with

I've played with i2c and I'm hoping that the latter display module would simply accept a normal i2cwrite - pin - pin - address- command or position, ["text"] format ?
