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

[Paul K. <pau...@xs...>]

Hi Ognjen,

I did some more research. From what I found it should be a hantronix 
display s64gs121-4, unfortunately I can't reach the hantronix website. 
(seems to be offline)
But I did found the datasheet. Or actually 2, one for the s64gs121-4 and 
one for the s64gs121-5. I didn't have time to figure out the difference 
at the moment.
I recommend you have a look at the 4 version datasheet, to verify that 
it matches your display

www.compart.pl/pdf/lcd/hantronix/s64gs12l-4.pdf 
<http://www.compart.pl/pdf/lcd/hantronix/s64gs12l-4.pdf>
www.compart.pl/pdf/lcd/hantronix/s64gs12l-5.pdf 
<http://www.compart.pl/pdf/lcd/hantronix/s64gs12l-5.pdf>

<www.compart.pl/pdf/lcd/hantronix/s64gs12l-4.pdf>Now you have the 
correct pin layout, so it should be fairly easy to find (or modify one)  
a suitable schematic for connecting it to the parallel port of your 
computer.
I suggest looking athe following page for a schematic example. 
http://ssl.bulix.org/projects/lcd4linux/wiki/HD44780  It is an example 
for HD44780 based controller, but the schematic should be nearly 
identical. Only the programming model (ie software) will be different.

I am not entirely sure if LCD4Linux supports the KS108 chip. I would 
suppose so, since the programming is fairly easy. Maybe Michael can 
confirm this?

Michael?  ;-)

I hope this information can get you started!
