#6 Add component: LCD display with font
Add somthing like this: http://www.dattalo.com/gnupic/lcd.html
I made an LCD component that simulates a large subset of the PCD8544 instruction set. Specifically, the component is the 84x48 pixel graphical LCD used in old Nokia mobile phones like the 3310. The features missing are vertical addressing (which I didn't need at the time) and analog driving configuration (which I don't think is closely relevant). It is a simple graphical LCD that has no built-in character generator (so doesn't fit exactly in this feature request), but is widely used by hobbyists. I think it could add to the usefulness of KTechlab. Is the project interested in this addition?
Hi,
Yes, we are definitely interested in any contribution that increases the usefullness of ktechlab.
You could attach code / patch directly to this feature request.
Sorry for the delay, I ran into some problems, and time has not yet permitted me to fully solve them. I will post the patch as soon as I can get the code to compile and work with the current version.
If you can just clean up the code and provide documentation/inline comments for it, it's perfect. Currently ktechlab is being ported to KDE4 / Qt4, so porting will be needed anyway.
I have a version ready for posting, but I can't seem to find the option to attach the file. If it's not inappropriate here, may I ask you how it can be done?
For me, below the comments, there is a text "Attached File", with an arrow pointing to the right. After clicking the arrow, it will point down, and a new text appears "Add a file:". Click on that, and you can select the file to upload.
If it doesn't work, you can send it to me in an email.

Attached the LCD component sources to this feature request.
Thak you, octachoron
