lucho_asd Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 hello, works this display for midibox LC?http://listados.deremate.com.ar/accdb/viewItem.asp?IDI=15032091 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seppoman Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 No it doesn´t work. its interface is not suitable for MIOS, and I don´t think such high resolutions are supported even if the display had a suitable controller.For what would you need 320x240 on a Midibox LC - do you want to watch movies on it? ;) The LC protocol only transmits text anyway.Seppoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashiman Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 need a coprosesor for doom2 then proceed with adaptive creepy sounds and moaning :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levon Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 maybe a custom LCD driver would work, but you would probably need a seperate core just for the display.check out http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=7724.0 he uses 2 240x64 GLCDsand in the documentation he has the driver he wrote for them.

seppoman Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Yes, but this project uses GLCDs with a standard controller, only support for two of them was added. "normal" GLCDs have a controller that takes care of the display refresh, you only tell the module changes that should happen. lucho_asd´s suggested display - as most large GLCDs - needs an external controller that does this. You can see from the timing diagram that you have to continuously send complete lines of display content (320 pixels/80 bytes) every 55 µs. This is really heavy load for a PIC and means you´d need a separate core module that manages and updates the display and provides an interface similar to a T6963/KS108 display. Then you have to program a new MIOS driver for this interface. So this would be a lot of work.I don´t want to sound too negative (sorry :) ), but if you can´t even determine if this display is suitable from the datasheet, it will be next to impossible for you to get this one working.Seppoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmenator Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 check out http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=7724.0 he uses 2 240x64 GLEDsand in the documentation he has the driver he wrote for them.Careful, this is not true: we use two separate core modules, one for each of the two displays. This is also described in the documentation. The driver we use is the original one provided by Thorsten for the vertical setup of GLCDs. The addition that we did only refers to the "distribution of content" onto the two displays, e.g. encoder 12 belongs to display 2, etc.Best regards, ilmenator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
