T6963C in a 64E

[mullr]

Hello Midibox World!

I'm currently planning out a midibox 64E derivative that speaks the RemoteSL automap protocol.  To do this, I'm going to need some pretty significant real estate - the device ships with a 2x144 (!) character LCD.  My favorite design idea so far fits perfectly on a 240x64 lcd, in horizontal mode.  Does it make sense to use a T6963C based display (the only kind available of this size) given the performance problems?  Or will those not be an issue for this application?

I'm predicting in advance the answer will be yes, since this is such a simple project I/O-wise.  But I thought I'd ask before I start spending money.

Thanks!

Hi Russell,

do you have programming skills to program the output routines for a graphical display?

So far I remember, nobody has implemented a special GLCD mode for these applications.

In general, the speed of T6963C would be ok, so long the box doesn't permanently receive MIDI events

Best Regards, Thorsten.
