[Lcd4linux-devel] LCD2USB status and Wiki vandalism

[Till H. <ti...@ha...>]

Hi,

the LCD2USB interface now supports the adjustable backlight and
displays with dual controller (tested with a 4x27 display from pollin. 
if your are searching a cheap display: they cost 4.95 ....)

I have used your updates Michael and the driver works fine.

And the wikis front page was damaged. I restored the last useful
version, but we should expect this to happen again. Perhaps
some login etc. is needed. 

Ciao,
  Till

Hi again,

BTW: The LCD2USB pcbs aren't as cheap as i was hoping and 
i estimate that one of them will cost me EUR 11.80, so the 
final price will be ~12.00 + shipping ... if i didn't get the calculation 
wrong ...

Perhaps i'll be offering to add a preprogrammed mega8 cpu for
about EUR 6. I haven't decided yet if i'll sell sompletely assembled
devices as well.

Anyway, i have ordered 30 of them and i hope that i'll be able 
to sell them to you :-)

They are designed to work out of the box with most standard 
LCDs incl. most of the displaytech ones (2*16, 2*20, 4*20, 
2* 40 and 4*40).

Should be no problem (at least not for me)

If Till is short on time, I can help with soldering and programming, too.

Till, where do you buy the electronic components? Maybe it would be a
good idea to sell all the components, too. I guess some of them
(inductors, the two elkos look like tantal ones, the quartz oscillator)
will be hard to get. My only local source is Conrad, which has a very
limited range of products. If I order them in Germany (Reichelt, Segor)
the shipping is very expensive...

btw, I'm looking for a MAX1709.


bye, Michael

This is the second time that the start page is full of "wiki spam". So
it happens about once a year...

I've been thinking about restricting write access, but this is not the
idea of a wiki. And it happens that seldom, and it's easy to correct (at
least for me), so I'll leave it as it is.

Note that there *is* some sort of "access control": I am a "TracAdmin",
which means that I have some more options in the wiki,including the
possibility to delete whole pages (or page versions).

So I just deleted the last threee versions of the start page (including
Till's restore, sorry :-)


bye, Michael
