how to use GLCD with picbasic pro

[micro]

thanks for the site

but if i want to add image BITMAP to Graphical LCD
maybe i can use a software to convert it to hex file
and catch these hex numaric, but it should add all of
these hex symbol to basic codes??? like
LCDOUT $c1,$26,........
or is there a simple method to do that??

i have read this site but that site dependece on assembly instructions

Hi,micro

Understand GLCD have ( i.e)128x64 pixels to be driven ...
so to have a picture, you must address them all ...by their code.

just remember There's no miracle ... job has always to be done somewhere !!!
Simple methods hide lots of intelligence ... and work.

Sorry, as far as I know, the code on that site will only work with mono LCD's. And for that matter, only LCD's with the KS0108 controller. I'm not familiar with ISIS6. You may be able to find something else on that site or linked sites. I stumbled across that link searching the forums here. Thought someday, I'd like to experiment with a GLCD, but haven't yet. Hope I've steered you in the right direction.... good luck!

Hi Micro,

Goto www.earthlcd.com. They have a color LCD that displays graphics, etc.
The product is called ezLCD-001. The ad says it's for the BAsic Stamp.. What is a Basic Stamp? A PIC! Not cheap! $149.00. There are some code examples also that may help you get started. Also MicroElektronica is selling an updated development board (EasyPIC3) with a graphics LCD display available. They have code examples along with the product. Their code is suppose to be easy to convert to PBP.
