Hi Dave,

Thak you for your reply.

Yes, I receive your e-mail on my gmail account, but, the files were received by gmail as plain text... strange... is the zip files bigger than 2 Mbytes each ?

regards.

I took out some of the supporting files, here is the VB6 code and the PBP files. Again, I am using the microchip USB Boot-loader, EasyHid so you will need to load the drivers for these programs. I also use a BMP to HEX editor to produce the color Images on the display. I send them via USB 64 bytes at a time so the picture loads fairly fast.

Good luck

Dave

Out of curiosity, which BMP to HEX software are you using?

Sounds like the beginnings of one of those mini- LCD picture viewer things...

Hi Dave,

thank you very much for these files !

Well, last weekend I changed your first code removing the USB stuf and the picture download.

It worked very well !

I bought 1 LCD and 2 breakout boards from SparkFun. One of the boards are not working (the LCD keep the backlight lit and nothing happens). Checked the connector and discovered that 2 connector´s legs are short circuited.

So, the LCD was installed in the another board and everything worked fine.
My board is running with a 20 Mhz crystal, but I think it is a bit slow. So, I will change it to full speed and check if it gets better.

Well, I will check your new files and see what I will need to change here !

Tahnk you Again !

PS. Did some one here successful on buying some Lib from ComSys1 ? I have been trying to contact them to buy the KS0108 Graphic lib but they never answer the e-mails!

Mine is running with an 18F4620 @ 40Mhz.
Using bare bones code, just sending black and white picture data as fast as possible with the LCD directly connected (well as close as possible, about .2") to the PIC, I'm only able to get about 6 complete screen refreshes per second (switching back and forth from black to white).
Those LCDs aren't the fastest thing in the world...

And i guess they're not going to appreciate faster communication with the MSSP as well?

but 6 screen/second is a bit more than enough... unless you read really fast
