I have been playing around with the 1-wire LCD controllers from Loius Swart. These are great devices, but the basic container for this by Owen Densmore is basic and I am having to significantly modify it for my own purposes.
I need to be able to address specific LCD displays by an identification, eg, lcd-1, lcd-2 etc. and to know their physical attributes, eg lines and columns to ensure I display in the right place. Great I thought knock up a simple application to discover these devices and to assemble a simple xml description for inputted user data. From then on my modified container can use this XML based data to talk correctly to the appropriate controller.
One of the basic concepts with Java is class reuse. Has anyone done anything these devices, if not I will have to do the work myself.
