Need a tester for my program

Hi,

i have written a T6963C-displaydriver, that can be used with all possible displaysizes.

U can find it here:
http://rogue.wh20.tu-dresden.de/~maik/glcds/eigenes/mlcdp/TreiberTest.zip
Unfortunately its in german, but if you wish I translate it.

Look at the T6963C.ini and setup your displayconfig.
At the moment there are only 3 configs in it, because i have only these 3 displays, but its very easy to add new displaysizes.

Thanks.

Hehe, that config file looks very much like what's in the latest LCDInfo version (not released yet).

I'll test that when I get home.

I don't have a T6963C display using the Pollin wiring (i guess that's what you're using) at hand right now so I only was able to use the virtual lcd in the driver test but I can test this later.

You have a different wirring?

All paramters are seperate adjustable.

If you give me a schematic of your wiring then a could make a new option in the driver.

Yes, I have a display with the powerlcd wiring to test wiring settings in the new LCDInfo version. In that you can define yourself how you have the pins connected.

But I also have a 240x64 display with the pollin wiring so I should be able to test your drivers soon.

/* pollin*/
int wr=1;
int rd=17;
int cd=16;
int ce=14;

/* powerlcd*/
int wr=16;
int rd=14;
int cd=17;
int ce=1;

So here is the new Version:

Look at the T6963C.ini and you will find 4 new options:
Pin_WR=1
Pin_CE=14
Pin_CD=16
Pin_RD=17

I tested the driver with a 240x128 display using the powerlcd wiring but wasn't able to get it working. I was using the 240x64 setting but this shouldn't matter, I guess.

With 240x64 display and pollin wiring it worked fine.

I'll do some more testing tonight.

I have found the problem.
The powerlcd-wiring is a little tricky because it use an not very clever wiring.

The normal wiring connects inverted display pins to inverted lpt pins, the powerlcd wiring connects the inverted pin (WR) to a non inverted lpt pin (16 = Init) and a non inverted lcd pin (CD) to an inverted lpt pin (17= Select In).

I'm sure you have already figured it out but if you wan't see how I did it here's some code: http://www.skippari.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=555#555

I updated my programm:

http://rogue.wh20.tu-dresden.de/~maik/g ... erTest.zip

Code:

Pin_WR=16
Pin_CE=1
Pin_CD=17
Pin_RD=14

Should work now.

Hmm, I tried to download it from that link but got the old version ?

It was the wrong link, now it should be the new version

Now I quickly tested it with the 240x64 settings with 240x128 display and didn't notice any problems. I'll do more testing and the 240x128 config later today.

Nice

If you want to play a little bit more, here's my a testversion of my programm:

http://rogue.wh20.tu-dresden.de/~maik/g ... .01.31.zip

Could you post your config for the 240x128?

Henri · **Posted:** Fri Jan 31, 2003 21:29

This is what I did for 240x128 display:

Code:

[Disp240x128]
TextRows=16
TextColumns=40
GraphRows=128
GraphColumns=40
BitsPerGraphColumn=6

TextHomeAddress=$0000
GraphHomeAddress=$0300
;CGRamHomeAddress=$1000
CGRamHomeAddress=$0002

I didn't make any changes to the CGRAM settings so...

I need to have a look at that later.
