Serial GLCD, how?

[mister_e]

I think what Duncan's wanted to show you, is what you'll find at the bottom of the page... a PBP code example. They also explain few things as well.

OOOPs sorry... saw you asked for the serial code example... damn...

Ohh yes.
But aren't there anyone who knows the control commands for a MCP23S17 Serial->Parallel chip?

This device can be used in SPI mode. Page 8 of the above PDF show you how to process with.

Nice starter, is to compare a working code example and modify it for your need. The following is for 93LC56A EEPROMs

First i would suggest you to begin with parallel mode, then once you exactly know how your GLCD work, add the serial interface in between (after having done some tests with)

Thanks. But how to control a display with that!
But to you Mister_E - Yes, i will try parallel first, but how could i port that to serial?

Thanks for all your answers until now.

Small steps...That's how you control a display with that.

From what I've read, you're trying to build a working Particle Accelerator with duct tape, 2x4's, a shovel, and 3 pounds of cat litter....and make it work on the first try......

Small steps....
Build something, get it working, build something onto that, get that working, integrate the two, and so on and so on...

Well, let's see. Once you have the parallel thing working, you'll know how the timing is implemented, and how the holly blue beast work... then it's just a matter to change some PORT read/write lines to SHIFTIN/SHIFTOUT statements.

Be warned... the GLCD refreshing will be slower... or way slower. I never tried any serial thingy until now.

New Compiler? Well i thought it was you here

No problem at all, i was just kidding a little bit!

Hi, Steve

Don't you think MkB could have the looked-for code snippet ... ???

Well that have it online on the product page.

Unless you're using their compiler, it's not going to help huh?
