Re: [lcd4linux] RGB 8x8 LED Matrix driven by Propeller

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

Hi Jesse,

a starting point should be the drv_Sample.c, as described in the "how to write a new driver"

For code reuse, you surely can browse to all other drivers. As especially drivers are mostly contributions (nobody owns 
all these displays) so probably nobody knwos all drivers in detail.

Especially you should have a look at drivers which use 'generic_serial'




regards, Michael
