Re: [Lcd4linux-devel] [lcd4linux] Sharp LM40001G LCD

Hi,

400*64 pixels is quite nice. Under lcd4linux this would basically
be a 66*8 character display.

Don't get me wrong, but 22*3,5 cm this is not THAT big :-)

So does the ledmatrix display, so you might be able to do something
similar to its driver. 400 x  64 is 25600 pixels which in turn is 3200
bytes. This does not fit into the memory of any of the small avrs,
so you either use a mega128 (with 4k ram) or use an external ram.

Ciao,

I just returned from the IFA fair and LG as well as the german Telekom
hat some very funny presents: Small fans that have 7 leds on one of
the two wings and display some text while running. I'd really love to
build one of those and make a lcd4linux driver for them. DIY instructions
for similar devices can easily be found with google when searching for
led rotor display or similar. E.g.:
