LCDInfo.com

Hi,

i don't know if you know me.

I programmed for about one year a program like lcdinfo, named PollinLCD.
I stopped my project, because I had no time.

Now i restarted my project, and I found your page.

I loked around and then I noticed, that some parts (e.g. your config-file) looks like mine.

Is it right?

Its no problem for me because my project was opensource.

My actual project is like yours:

Support for T6963C an other controllers
different displaysizes
dataplugins so you can show any kind of information

If u are interested in the code for the driver and pluginsystem - let me know.

This post is to notify me, if someone replies.

Yep, I know who you are. Or should I say that I've seen your source.

I'm glad that you had your source available as I got many ideas from it (got my first lcd in april last year and lcdinfo is basically my first windows program). I don't remember anything else than the bitmap loading function that I would have used but there may be more.
But you can see your source's influence in some of the function names in my source.

First version+source: http://www.skippari.net/lcd/lcd_info_v0.1.zip
How it evolved: http://www.skippari.net/lcd/lcdinfo_old.html
And the latest source I found at this site: http://www.skippari.net/lcd/lcd_info_v0.3_source.zip
You can also get the latest development source - just let me know if you are interested.


Of course I'm interested in the driver and plugin system code.
I've been thinking of a data plugin support to LCDInfo too and it would be nice to see how someone else has done it.

Here is a small program I use to test my dataplugins:
http://rogue.wh20.tu-dresden.de/~maik/glcds/eigenes/mlcdp/PluginTest.zip

The var_winamp-plugin only works if this http://rogue.wh20.tu-dresden.de/~maik/glcds/eigenes/mlcdp/TreiberTest.zip is installed and started in winamp2.x.
(Analyzers are not yet implemented, its still a testversion with no graphic-variables)

The mbm5-plugin works with mbm5 version 5.2.1.0 and I think newer versions.

Variables provided by the performance-plugin are defined in the "var_perf.ini".

Perhaps we could work together?

I tried the plugin test and everything seemed to work fine except the performance counter plugin as it didn't find a vlcPerfUtils6.bpl file.

Also 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.


I think working together would be a good idea.

Yes its a problem of the performance counter.
It needs some runtimelibraries.

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;

If you email me I can give you the latest LCDInfo development version + source.

So here is the new Version:
Driver-Testprogram:
http://www.wh19.tu-dresden.de/~maik/glc ... erTest.zip

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

And here are the runtime libraries u need for the performance plugin:

I put the driver discussion to the other thread you started for it: http://www.skippari.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=113
