Code verification errors 16F1847

[wjsmarine]

Hi Richard,

I've studied your hints and hacked away all day with no success, I've concluded it's beyond me so will give up on this idea. I spent a lot of time looking at your ssd1306 code also and suspect it could be modified to use on the 84x48 pixel Nokia display, but that too is over my head. I have fully functioning code working on an 18F so will use it instead, I just have to manufacture another pcb to scale up from dip18 to dip28, kicking myself for not doing that in the first place.

I'm not wasting more time on this because it is overtaken by Mister_e's code, which I mentioned earlier works flawlessly on a F88, but has similar issues with a 16F1847 as this thread. If you haven't done already please take a look at the "Using Nokia LCD" post - if it can be made to work on this chip it opens the door to a lot more projects. Over 200,000 views on this thread shows there are a lot of folks interested in these cheap graphic displays so I think it is worth doing.

PM me your address and I'll post a display module with 16F1847 to you for your use as a small token of appreciation for your ongoing contributions, you should get it next week.

Kind regards,
Bill

A generous offer , when I get it I will see if I can port my ssd1306 code to that display.
it does not look too difficult [famous last words]

No problem, I just packed it in a small padded Jiffy bag and will post tomorrow - check your PM.

Did you take a look at Mister_e's work on the "Using Nokia LCD" by chance? You sound like you are the man to take it from its 99% to that last 1% (and, fingers crossed, able to work with the 16F1847). Steve did a great job but I fear he is no longer around such is the deafening silence, hope I'm wrong.

Kind regards,
Bill

I have looked but its chief issue for me is the way the font is stored/retrieved ,for a pic16 with limited resources
its just too inefficient. if it ports to the method I used for the ssd1306 controller then it will be a better result.
not only that imho usercommand [a sadly underused feature ] makes nicer code
