4x20 display on mbfm?

[brother303]

Hi to all,

just started building a mbfm. I want to put it into the same pactec-case as the mb6582 with a frontpanel from Schäffer.

Now I want to know if it`s possible to run the fm with a 4x20 display instead of a 2x40. Any drivers required? Or change something in the asm?

Thanks lot!  ;D

It'll scroll off onto your bottom row.

You might want to do a search, I'm sure this has been done before.

I plan to do the same, but I'll probably stay with a 2x40 display for convenience.

Use of 4x20 display has been done before:

No change to firmware required, but as mentioned in the thread, it's not perfect.

Just look at the manual, you'll see how the main screen will get split in the middle of the patch name.

With a little bit of coding, you could make it look better.
