Post subject: | Animations on Noritake 128x64 VFD |
http://www.skippari.net/lcd/sekalaista/vfdani.zip Here's a little prog to show animations on the Noritake VFD. I've no idea how the timings will work for others as I've only been playing with my display for couple hours but I'm interested to hear about your results. It's a command line tool and you give it the name of the animation definition file as parameter. The zip has one called ani.txt included. Here's example of the definition file: Quote: 5
100 frames\1.bmp frames\2.bmp frames\3.bmp frames\4.bmp frames\5.bmp frames\6.bmp frames\7.bmp frames\8.bmp frames\9.bmp frames\10.bmp First row is how many times you want to repeat the animation, second is the pause between frames in milliseconds and rest is the animation frames. The frame bitmaps have to be 128x64 1bit to work. The prog needs the WinIO driver to access parallel port but if you have administrator rights it will autoload the driver. EDIT: Optional brightness setting included. |

Post subject: | The Animation prog |
Well, I tried the animation prog... And it worked as listed... but when I tried to make a change in the configuration, (To the 5 or the 25) with a text editor (on ani.txt) it gave me the exception kinda errors... Looks nice, just wondering if the configuration requires a different type of text editor... I was just using edit from the command line, Didn't try winVI or anything yet... |

Post subject: | Ok.. Figured something out |
Well, I decided to edit in Notepad instead, and it worked... Must be extra spaces or something screws it up, and were added by edit... Works great now. |

I updated the program with a check that tries to prevent this problem. |

One quick question, can you give command line for brightness, I run mine around 40%~70% (Day/night) and I have smoked plexi in front for filter, so at 6% I don't see much. Thank you sooo much for such a kewl little tool!!! |
