dOperator Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Hi, I'm building a midibox ng atm, with parts of a midibox seq4. Since i didn't leave a gap in the middle of the frontplate like on the seq4, the lcds don't align properly to the knob rows. Now, if i could rotate the right lcd by 180°(like in the picture), it would align a lot better, could maybe even file off the backlit connectors to get the two lcds closer together. Is there a way to rotate the output? Maybe in hardware, like swapping cables or so? I looked into the firmware code, didn't see any options to rotate the output there, i guess it would be possible to code it somehow tho? Not too experienced with electronics nor low-level coding, so help appreciated a lot :smile: Thanks! current state of affairs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Sorry, won´t work, as the font/character set is fixed and only a few special characters can be redefined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dOperator Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Damnit, aright, have to live with the unaligned lcds then until (if) i make a proper metal frontplate. Thanks for the fast answer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasrudin Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 maybe you could cut away the the part of the LCD-PCB that stands beside the Display and solder the the wires to the traces manually. it would be a difficult task, but can be sucessfull if the needed traces are available on the backside of the remaining PCB.

fcebreros Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 I had a similar problem with a couple lcd's I had to change and finally decided to overlap them a little(the back light over the terminal part, isolating with some tape) and it worked OK. You almost don't notice the height difference on the front-panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
