Would be very nice to have cyrillic character support.
From Winamp and RSS feeds too. I beleive most of
HD44780 based LCDs can display cyrillic characters, so i
think it can be also implemented in Smartie.
Do they have many of the required characers? Also if a
character is not supported, is there alternative letter(s)
that can be used in it's place (like ae is good for ).
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The file attached is the HD44780U datasheet.
Please look on the page 18, there is defined pattern for cyrillic.
For me it seems that character support depends from the ROM
code which is set during production (i wonder how can one
find out the ROM code for any display ?).
I have a Powertip 2004A display, and here is the supported
pattern for it: http://www.powertipusa.com/pat.htm
So it seems, no cyrillic support for it(???). Which is strange
since its sold in Europe, so should have europian ROM code set
on it. It there a chance to change ROM code set?
Now, if there is no "native" support of cyrillic characters, can
they be custom defined?
And here is the characters correspondence:
А Б В Г Д Е Є Ж З И І Ї Й К Л М Н О П Р С Т У Ф Х Ц Ч Ш Щ
A ? B ? ? E ? ? 3 ? I ? ? K ? M H O ? P C T ? ? X ? ? ? ?
Ю Я Ь
? ? ?
The top row is ukrainian alfabet i took for an example, botoom
row - corresponding latin letters. Where the question marks
stand, there is no nice replacement, so it has to be custom
defined. And there are more if complete cyrillic support is
required. In case of need in custom definition i am willing to
help. Well, i'm willing to help in any case :)
I did try few different programs for LCDs, this one is the best
so far IMHO.
P.S. There is a russian software which supports cyrillic
characters on LCDs, but it does not come even close to
LCDSmartie by functionalities (IMHO).

Hi!
I just wrote a plugin for recoding cyrillic characters from
windows-1251 to HD44780 charset (if there are cyrillic
characters in controller's ROM). all you need is to call
recoding feature like that:
$dll(rus_plugin,1,$WinampTitle,)
e-mail me if you neeed it.

and Smartie will remap needed symbols according user's wishes.
I think, this method can help not only with cyrillic
characters support, but with some others. Of course, LCD
have to support needed characters. But charset will not be a
problem...
P.S. Sorry for possible mistakes, I speak russian and I
learned english long time ago...

page 18, table 10, most of characters A0-E6 are needed for
cyrillic support.
for correct cyrillic support you can add recoding form
"windows-1251" (windows cyrillic) charset to the
controller's charset.

Can you show me the characters required for cyrillic support?
I don't think support in HD44780 based displays is that
great, take a look at http://markh.de/hd44780-charset.png
and
http://www.crystalfontz.com/products/634/632_634_CGROM_v2.0.pdf

OK, looks like there is a problem with page encoding. Instead
of alfabet there is garbage and it did not attach the file.
Sorry about that.
Do you have an email i can send files to?
I will mail then corresponding characters as word file.

Hi,
My email is lcdsmartie <at> neko.me.uk
If a character rom doesn't support cyrillic then I think
it's going to be hard to do, because there are only 8 custom
characters...

I have an idea...
Is it possible to add an option to config.ini file?
As an example, it will look like:
[Recoding]
ϲ=Б
Ё=Є
Р=З
ϰ=І
.....
and Smartie will remap needed symbols according user's wishes.
I think, this method can help not only with cyrillic
characters support, but with some others. Of course, LCD
have to support needed characters. But charset will not be a

there's no cyrillic characters.
look here:

page 18, table 10, most of characters A0-E6 are needed for
cyrillic support.

"windows-1251" (windows cyrillic) charset to the
