jeroddumas Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 Could anyone tell me if these are compatible with MB. Quote
stryd_one Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 MIOS V1.3 is now available for download, it comes with some new features for the near future:it's now possible to integrate an own LCD driver which is not natively supported by MIOS. See also the docs under Concepts->MBHP->LCDBest Regards, Thorsten. :) Quote
TK. Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 The KS0065 is just only a segment or column driver. Are you sure that the display is only stuffed with this chip, or is there any additional controller which provides the bus interface?Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote
jeroddumas Posted June 23, 2003 Author Report Posted June 23, 2003 the other chip says ks0066f00 349 if that is any help. Quote
TK. Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 Perfect! The KS0066 is HD44780 compatible, so it will work with LCD type #0 :)I just remember that I also own a display with this controller.Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote
jeroddumas Posted June 23, 2003 Author Report Posted June 23, 2003 is the pin out the same. All I am getting is blocks on the display. No characters. Quote
TK. Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 The order of pins depends on the display, not on the controller. Yes, the signals are the same - please search for a datasheet of your display if you are unsure.Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote
jeroddumas Posted June 24, 2003 Author Report Posted June 24, 2003 Thorston, I can't find a datasheet for the LCD. The main problem is because I do not see a name on the LCD. I savaged these from some old Network Hubs. I read that you said the pins can be reversed. Would this be the data pins. I get the display to come on, but it only shows the top row of blocks and nothing on the top row. So i know I have identified vss and vdd. and the led = and led -. now if you say that the bus pins are the same on all other displays wouldn't that mean that all other pins are like the displaytech lcd.

TK. Posted June 25, 2003 Report Posted June 25, 2003 Good that you've identified Vss and Vdd, so the others pins should be in the same order like known from the Displaytech, I never saw a display with a different order yet (except those displays with a 2x8 pin header).So it's maybe a good idea to check the tracks on the core module, too - when you read the last postings you will notify that users mostly have problems with these pins (exchanged wires or bad solderings)Did you already ensure that the box is running? Does it send any MIDI data?Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote
jeroddumas Posted June 25, 2003 Author Report Posted June 25, 2003 The midi box is up and running fine. Sending and recieving data. I will check these tracks soldering. Quote
jeroddumas Posted June 25, 2003 Author Report Posted June 25, 2003 LCD is now working fine, now on to comlete the project. ;D ;D ;D Quote
