Re: [lcd4linux] problem with big HD44780 display

[Matthias M. <lcd...@me...>]

Hi Michael,

I tried it with ENABLE2 and GND, but it still does not work.
What keeps me wondering is that it worked without in the old version.
Unfortunately I did not produce the psnnel connection myself.
I bought it through ebay some years ago, so I don't know the connections.
As I said in my first mail, I just know it worked with the old version.

Thanks,

Matthias

Looks like you're missing the ENABLE2 line...

[lcd4linux] problem with big HD44780 display

[Matthias M. <lcd...@me...>]

Dear all,

I got a big HD44780 display with 2 controllers.
With the old 9.11.8 version of LCD4LINUX and the config

Display HD44780
Port /dev/parport0
Size 40x4
Controllers 2
Delay 503
Wire.RW AUTOFD
Wire.RS INIT
Wire.ENABLE STROBE
Wire.GPO GND

it worked very well.

Now I've tried to reactivate my display after a year and I can't get the two bottom lines to start.
Line 1 and 2 work very well, but.... :-(

Can someone please help and tell me which config I need to use for LCD4LINUX 0.10.0-RC1?

I tried several versions including the following

Display HD44780-40x4 {
    Driver 'HD44780'
    Model 'generic'
    Port '/dev/parport0'
    Bits '8'
    asc255bug 0
    UseBusy 1
    Controllers 2
    Size '40x4'
    Size1 '20x2'
    Size2 '20x2'
    Wire {
        RW     'AUTOFD'
        RS     'INIT'
        ENABLE 'STROBE'
        GPO    'GND'
    }
}

Where is the difference between Version 9 and 10 in this point?


Thanks,

Matthias

I'm sorry but there is currently no way to control the backlight by
other plugins.

There will be something like "timer events" in the future, this will
solve your issue.

[lcd4linux] Question about backlight

[Pavel S. <myl...@ma...>]

Hello !

I have HD44780 , winamp wire with backlight.

All work fine, but I have one little question.

How I can use backlight function ? For example, I want such thing , if I have 
in my pop3 server emails , my Display flash...

I use pop3 pluging for checking mail.


Sorry for bad english , pls.

Hi, 

 

Is there anybody out there who has experiences with

Lcd4linux and asterisk (http://www.asterisk.org/) or

(www.asteriskathome.de <http://www.asteriskathome.de/> ).

 

Are there any modules available for this great pbx?

 

I want to use the lcd4linux programm and a SED1330

To Display the incoming calls, the numbers calling in,

the status of the answering machines and the fax status.

 

 

Thank you for any hints and comments.

[lcd4linux] glcd + ftdi +usb

[Theo S. <to...@sc...>]

i has the LCD from tilofranz.net/lcdshop

The Display has an ftdi232bm chip to communicate with USB and an
S1D13305F for Display.

USB VendorID=3D0x403 and ProductID=3D0xe588

I added to ftdio_sio.h and ftdi_sio.c the product ID and recompile the
ftdi_sio kernel modul.
Then i add :
BUS=3D"usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=3D"e588", NAME=3D"lcd", SYMLINK=3D"usb/lcd"=
,
MODE=3D"0666"
to my udev rules.

Now when i connect the Display dmesg say:

drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for FTDI
USB Serial Device
ftdi_sio 2-2:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected
drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c: Detected FT232BM
usb 2-2: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0
usbcore: registered new driver ftdi_sio
drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c: v1.4.3:USB FTDI Serial Converters Driver

and i has an dev in /dev/usb/lcd

But how can i send some informations to Display?

First i thought that serdisplib can help, but at this time there is no
rs232 support.
Then i asked the on the serdisplib mailinglist if there is any linux
library for this display, but the answer was "Not now, maybe later".

So i conntect the LCD to an windows computer and record the data with
usbsnoop (http://benoit.papillaut.free.ft/usbsnoop).

All the program to is, write my name to the LCD.

Take a look at // First DATA to LCD, the second and third byte are the

// Second DATA to LCD
First byte 0x08 ?
Second and third byte =3D 0x03FD =3D lengt of the follow data
rest is easy, my Name and some spaces.

Anyone know for what is 0x04, 0x4f and 0x08?

Hope you can read my english.

[lcd4linux] Keyboard with built-in LCD, or similar

[Phil E. <spa...@ch...>]

Dear LCD Experts,

I've recently bought myself a Linksys NSLU2, which is a tiny cheap box 
with an ARM processor, ethernet port and two USB ports, running Linux. 
There are lots of geeky things that they can be used for (see 
http://nslu2-linux.org); mine is currently being a print server.

Not having a display is a bit of a problem sometimes.  For example it 
would be useful to display the print queue or any error messages.  For 
this application, one of those drive-bay-size displays with up/down 
buttons would be good, especially if it had a self-contained enclosure 
and the software already existed.  Has anyone done anything like this? 
Can you recommend any particular (cheap) display with a USB interface, 
available in the UK?

I was also thinking of a more general-purpose solution - a compact 
keyboard with a built-in LCD display, maybe 4x40 characters or so. 
Ideally it would have a USB interface that appears like a serial 
terminal with VT100 emulation.  I can imagine such a thing being useful 
for other situations too, for example maintaining rack-mount systems 
without the expense of one of those drawer-mounted LCD panels.  The only 
thing that Google finds is a Logitech gamers' keyboard (the G15) which 
has an LCD to display scores on.  It's not exactly what I had in mind.

I'm sure some of you have thought about this sort of thing before - any 
suggestions?

Cheers,

--Phil.

Hi Ludovic,

> at the end :

Thanks a lot for pointing this out. There's been a bug in drivers.m4
which did not compile and link the generic text driver for several
displays. Fixed in CVS.

If you do not want to use the CVS version, just omit the
'--with-drivers=MatrixOrbital' parameter to 'configure', so the text
driver will be included anyway.

[lcd4linux] [ANNOUNCE] David

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

Hi there,

I proudly announce the birth of David, our first child, on 9. September
2005.

I'm a little bit disappointed that he hasn't got a display, not even a
small one :-)

He's a geek baby, so he already set up his own homepage:
http://home.pages.at/david05

I'm afraid he will eat up all my spare time in the next weeks, so there
will be not too much time left for lcd4linux.

Why the heck should it hang on a sleep????

could you cut the sleep(3) into threee pieces of sleep(1), each followed
by a debug statement? Sounds crazy, but this *is* crazy....

better ideas anyone?

I have no clue. I do have such a phone, but couldn't find the time to
connect it yet.

I think the docs on the serdisplib homepage are quite good. Try to get
it running with serdisplib first (there's a test program IIRC).

Have a look at the serdisplib page (http://serdisplib.sourceforge.net).
If it's supported by serdisplib, it's supported by lcd4linux.

Have a look at the serdisplib page (http://serdisplib.sourceforge.net).
If it's supported by serdisplib, it's supported by lcd4linux.

[lcd4linux] lcd4linux.bulix.org down

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

Hi alltogether,

I just talked to Sam (he hosts the wiki): The server has had a crash,
but unfortunately Sam is too far away at the moment. He will be back on
friday evening, so the wiki will be up and running again then.

bye, Michael

I'm afraid bulix is the only source for information and documentation,
and it's down since sunday. I hope that Sam will fix this as soon as
possible (as he did in the past).

Sorry for the inconvenience.

An exclamation mark in the layout is no problem.

The compiler optimized "goodbye!" to one string for all drv_DISPLAY.c files.
Recompiling with "Goodbye!" gave a two-line garbled display.
Reconfiguring with "--with-drivers=HD44780" and "goodbye!" gave a two-line garbled display.
Recompiling with "goodbye" gave a working display.

Seems I need a parallel port snoop program to understand what is happening.
