[Lcd4linux-devel] Stupid question - or not..

[Tomi H. <toh...@ma...>]

Hello!

I just happened to bump in to your site. It was interesting reading. I have
been planing something like that for some time now.

I went quickly through your pages and I look through your page
http://ssl.bulix.org/projects/lcd4linux/wiki/HD44780
There was one thing that puzzeled me.. Maybe you can guide me..

On that page you have good table of pin orders of prallel port. And I was just
comparing it to the picture of two displays on one bus
(https://ssl.bulix.org/projects/lcd4linux/attachment/wiki/HD44780/multiple.png?format=raw)
Well now.. cut straight to the point:
- LPT-port should have pin 13 as output (according to your table and other
sources) and still on that picture it seems taht second displays E ('enable' I
assume) seems to go to pin 13 of the D25. I would have thought that you have
to have 'out'-pin for E??!?

Similarry you have connected the E-pin of the first display to the LPT-pin 1
that is according to your table 'out'-pin.

So please correct if I am wrong since I am planing to build your system any
day soon..


Thanx to you all for the great site and your work!
