[lcd4linux] Pertelian Display Driver

[Dani B. <mu...@so...>]

Hello,

i'm trying to use my "Pertelian X2040" [1] with lcd4linux.
The lcd4linux-wiki [2] tells me it should work by using "Pertelian" as
Driver in the "Display"-Section of lcd4linux.conf.

But if i start lcd4linux, dmesg tells me the following:
Dec 31 19:05:26 localhost LCD4Linux[32689]: drv_init(Pertelian) failed:
no such driver

"lcd4linux -l" wouldn't show me a driver called "Pertelian"

"lcd4linux -h" tell me that i'm using "LCD4Linux 0.10.1-RC1-768", which
is not the newest Version, but its the one distributed with my
Linux-distribution (Ubuntu 7.10). And as i saw on [3], there where no
new Drivers added since RC1, so the RC1-Version shouldn't be the problem.

I also downloaded the newest version (file
"lcd4linux-0.10.1-RC2.tar.gz") and did a "./configure --help", but there
also wasn't a driver named "Pertelian" on the output.

There also are no more useful informations on the page of the coder [4]
for the Pertelian-Driver

So what's to do that i can use the Pertelian-Driver?

just to answer your first question: yes, displays controlled by 
serdisplib can use the image widget 8because they are treated as graphic 
displays)

lcd4linux's configure checks for serdisplib/serdisp.h

If it doesn't work, please run './configure --with-drivers=serdisplib' 
and send us the configure.log

[lcd4linux] configure can't find serdisplib

Hello,

Iinstallt serdisplib(1.97.7) and with multidsiplay a can work with the 
Display(L4ME5I) fine. But when i try to install LCD4Linux the 
./configure command cant find the header of serdisplib.

By default serdisplib install is under /usr/local/[lib|include]. i make

What should i do?

Re: [lcd4linux] Can i use the Image widget with Serdisplib?

[Gilles v. d. H. <gil...@gm...>]

Hey Till,

About the contrast, that is also what i thought. Maybe i can use other
transistors to control the brightness in another way. ;)

Anyway, the thing i want to use lcd4linux for is an aquarium computer.
Basicly it is a linux box without monitor, and i want to "display" graphs,
clocks etc. the basic GLCD stuff on it. I want a script to constantly
generate "png" files, since that is what i've learnt from the TRAC pages,
unless you have a better idea. I am open for suggestions and willing to test
off course. I don't have the KS0108 GLCD yet, but i was thinking about
buying
a) 192x64
b) 128x64
and driving them using a parralel port.

So my new questions are:
- can both versions be controlled with the future version
- does the new driver also support parralel port or is that to slow for what
you want?
- is PNG images still the way to go or is there another way?

Btw, A refresh rate of >20hz means +/-20fps?

Thanx
Gilles

Re: [lcd4linux] Can i use the Image widget with Serdisplib?

[Till H. / L. <li...@ha...>]

Hi,

i just finished the first prototypes for my glcd2usb, the graphic
version of the lcd2usb. And the first display type to be supported
by glcd2usb is the ks0108 family. And with that the image widget
is working fine and i get a screen refresh rate of >20Hz, sufficient
for fluid animations ...

I'll soon publish all the necessary parts. But the contrast is not software
controllable. It would be quite complicated to make this part software
configurable for the ks0108 as this requires to handle a negative voltage
generated by the ks0108 internally. This is justr not worth the effort as
most people will never change the contrast, anyway.

[Gilles v. d. H. <gil...@gm...>]

Hello,

I am looking to buy an LCD which has the KS0108 controller. This is a
Graphic LCD display 128x64.
This display has to be controlled by LCD4Linux with the Serdisplib (that
supports the KS0108 controller). - Is it then still possible to use the
image widget?

Is it also possible (after the LCD program has started) to change the
contrast programmaticly?

[lcd4linux] asm/msr.h inclusion and RDTSC stuff removed

[Michael R. <mi...@re...>]

Hi there,

I just committed a changeset where I removed the whole RDTSC delay loop 
stuff, and therefore lcd4linux does no longer need asm/msr.h

Instead, a gettimeofday() delay loop will be used when necessary.

The rdtsc stuff worked fine, but had two major disadvantages: It did not 
work with variable CPU frequencies, and latest kernels do no longer 
offer the rdtsc() macro.

The changeset has been committed to trunk, and will be backported to the 
0.10.1 branch as soon as I get some positive feedback 8or at least I 
don't get any negative feedback)

[lcd4linux] expression help

[Matt <mj...@ii...>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out how the evaluator/expressions and other 
components work together and I have become stuck.

I have a some sensor data in a mysql db.
I want to show the latest data  and indicate whether it rising or 
falling by comparing it to the average temp in in the last 5 mins.
Here's my widget for outside temperature.

Widget 1WeatherOutsideTemp {
    class 'Text'
# this is average over the last 5 minutes
    expression2 v2=MySQL::query('SELECT AVG(value) FROM sample WHERE 
id=11 AND timestamp>NOW()-INTERVAL 5 MINUTES')

# this is the last recorded sample
    expression v1=MySQL::query('SELECT value FROM lastsample WHERE id=11')

    width 4
    align 'R'
    precision  1
# if the last sample is bigger than the last 5min average show +
# if the last sample is smaller than the last 5min average show -
# else show nothing
    postfix v1>v2?'+':(v1<v2?'-':' ')
    prefix ''
    update minute
}


However, it doesn;t every use a minus sign or anything other than a plus.
This makes me think theres something fundamental about how I'm using the 
expressions.

Also, I'd like to replace the '+' and '-' with an icon, but I'm not sure 
of the syntax.

Could someone help?


Thanks

Matt

Re: [lcd4linux] Can someone help me with a KS107/8 Graphic Display?

[Ognjen B. <Og...@ma...>]

Hello Paul,

Sorry for the delay, been moving and haven't had much time to look at 
the display.

 From what I know lcd4linux does not directly support ks108 displays, 
but apparently serdisplib does support it. It is listed on the main page,

the only issue is that (lucky me) while all the other pages have 
details, schematics, configuration settings and some screenshots, the 
ks108 page just says "to be done". And has been saying it for god knows 
how long (I think I noticed it just over a year ago).

The page is here:
  http://serdisplib.sourceforge.net/ser/ks0108.html

as it is on their supported page I presume they already have a schematic 
which works with serdisplib, so I should probably ask them (unless 
somebody on this list has any idea).

Thanks.

[lcd4linux] Crystalfontz 634 Problem (Spacing + only 1 line)

[Stijn S. <sti...@gm...>]

I have a problem with a: Crystalfontz 634v2.0 kd204.
lcd4linux and the crystalfontz module compiled fine, and when I start
lcd4linux I get to see the LCD4Linux intro screen, with on the bottom
2 lines showing the Crystal fontz driver.

Then the intro screen disappears, and my content comes..
However, I can only use 1 line (the first), and on that one line
it only uses the last 10 characters (it's a 20x4 display).
No matter what I use, 'Text' or 'Bar', it skips the first 10 characters,
then
start at character number 11, and then just writes off screen.

Line number 2/3/4 do nothing...

Since the intro screen works alright, I tend to believe that the driver
is alright (even though it uses totally different control codes than
from the datasheet @ crystalfontz.com??), and lcd4linux is actually
mailfunctioning ?

Any hints etc?
I can code and try a bit myself, I also tried to replace the controlcodes
in the driver with the ones from the official datasheet, but then the driver
stopped working (aka, no intro screen anymore etc.), so they seem to be
correct..

This will not work - you do initialize the variable 'currline', and=20
increment/decrement it by a keypress, but you never use the variable :-)

Subject: Crystalfontz 631 with lcd4linux rc2 ... button problems

=20

Hello,

Using lcd4linux RC2 - 796 with Crystalfontz 631 display and would like
to get the buttons to work.  I only need to use 2 buttons to simply
scroll up and down through a series of widgets.  I have included my
current lcd4linux.conf file that I have created to be able to scroll
through a list of different widgets, does anyone see any problems??
What I get when using this lcd4linux.conf file with my 2 line
Crystalfontz display is only the first 2 lines, buttons do not work ....
Yet :-)

When I use the lcd4linux -Fvv command I get:

[root@asterisk1 bin]# lcd4linux -Fvv
