Winamp LCD Display plug-in / Discussion / HD44780 driver feedback: LCDplugin and Comcontroll

Nobody/Anonymous - 2004-03-06

Hi,

I'm currently working on a standalone mp3 player and I want to use the plugin together with comcontroll.

I have the LCD working and the basic winamp functions working. My problem is that I also want to control the browser function of the plugin with comcontrol.

Can someone please give me more information on how to do this? Has anybody this done before.

Regards,
Paul De Zutter

  This plugin supports menu and winamp control via the com port. It's in the configuration menu. Is this functionality not what you are looking for?

  Yes, it is.
  
  But can you give me some more information about the schematic I have to use and also about the button-ids.

    Well, From my experience, there really isn't a schematic per se that is applicable to com port communication. It can be tested with two computers. Put a null modem serial cable between then (one with the tx and rcv lines crossed) and in one, bring up the plugin and set a desirable baud rate, set what you want the serial character to do, and get it running. On the other computer, bring up telnet and connect to the proper COM port and speed. Then type the appropriate character and hit enter. You should be able to control winamp this way. Heck, you could do it with one computer if it had two com ports.
    
    Of course, that's just a functionality test. The real-world application is for you to dream up.
