Graphical Displays with PBP3

[rocket_troy]

Richard,
with the Nokia 5110 demo settings, the "width" constant is set at 88 instead of 84. Can you explain the reason for that? Like, with other displays, is it just a case of trial & error to gather this parameter or is available in documentation or from standard formula?

Thanks,

Troy

needs to multiple of 8 for the rotation to work properly

[rocket_troy]

okay, that was simpler than I expected. Thx

Richard,
would your drivers (with some tweaking of the input pins) be compatible with the jlx12864g-086 display? Someone online mentioned it would be a good substitute for the 5110 but they seem (to me) to be quite different interfaces?

don't see why not. they look pretty much like a 128x64 glcd with a serial i/f
do you have a data sheet ? , i can't locate an English version

[rocket_troy]

Unfortunately I can't find one. Amazon says the IC is a UC1701X which there are English data sheets for. Attached is an online translation if that's any use?

looking at that ds i expect it would require its own driver to be written to use it with my graphics lib, should be easy enough. i don't have a display to experiment with and
my simulator does not include a model for the display either so don't hold your breath.
