    Probably belongs in the 'Wish List' section ya think?

    If you do a search here, you'll find more than one example for GLCD subroutines for PBP.

    Hello,
    thank you for your answer. I have already seen all routines posted in the forum. But I'm talking on native functions implemented in PBP like Proton GLCD routines. or at least, to do like in Proton, to implement a Macro mechanisme by which users can implement their own external commands.

    Regards

    How many types of GLCD do you want to support? Just the one you have or all the types out there?

    That's exactly how those GLCD routines work...macro's...

    Thank you for your answers.

    As a lot of users knows, I wrote a font generator for GLCD, that takes any font and convert it to usable source codes for a set of compilers. I just want to add support (export filter) to PicBasic Pro. That's all.
    Most users wants support for KS0108 and T6963c controllers. It's nice to have them supported directly by PicBasic Pro.
    Actually my Font Creator is becoming a full studio for the creation of Fonts and Bitmaps for GLCD with support for a lot of compilers (new version already implements native support for about 11 compilers and let you write your own export filter for any custom format needed). I just wanted to not miss support for one of the most fine and used compilers for PIC.

    GLCD are plain easy to work with if you want to spend some time on. There's plenty ressource in PBP, ASm and other languages. Maybe i should sale a GLCD pack myself?

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Good idea-I'd pay for the necessary .inc files and whatever else is needed if this would support mikroElektronika's 128x64 GLCD. I'm pretty sure it's a KS0108 or compatable type controller...

    Would you be providing some sample source code or examples to paying customers?

    What PBP commands would be used to print both fonts (normal and custom) and bitmaps to the screen? "LCDOUT" for normal text, with librarys to "INCLUDE" for pre-drawn bitmaps or "SEROUT mode,(Xpos),(Ypos),(bit)" (or something similar) to add a new bitmap directly in the code? What about plans for touch screen features/examples?

    BTW-I hope you can recover your data without too many problems and headaches. Please keep us updated on this; I'm very interested!

    Sincerely,
    -Adam Collins
