Modding Noritake GU126x32F-K612A4 graphic VFD

I think ill leave the macro bit untill your program comes out!

Im really lost with all this macro stuff!

Only 2 weeks for your program if all goes well

Keep up the good work m8

 

There's a version of my excel macro which generates a string which you can feed into LCDC to set macro 0 with a full screen bit-map... umm you'd have to hunt through this thread to find it though

Rob.

 

Ill go do a hunt Thank You!

 

EEEEGADS 55 PAGES!!!! I got a lot of reading to do....

 

I know some of you wanted the screens I made for my VFD.

You can grab the full cf file I used at The CPL here.

 

hi all

i have a question.
where i must type the code which i created with itron VFD image creator.

thx in advance

 

It's in the readme file... but to clarify... open the LCDC Screen Builder, Create a new event, Select Action "DSP->Process Commands and paste it into the Parameters.

Set this to run before the screen you want to display this with.

 

Whats the difference between the GU126X64F-K612A3 or A4 and the GU128x64-800A?

Also, is it possible to display info from more than 1 sources, i.e system stats & winamp?

 

A3 and A4 are just different bios revisions, the A3 was buggie.

The 80 has a // interface (capable of full screen animation!) where as the F-K6 is designed to be used with a serial port, and has lot of features in that direction (but is slower).

for the F-K6 you can certainly display lots of info at the same time and for the 800 you should be able to provided software gets sorted (i.e. liquid mp3).

Rob.

 

Thanks for your response,

LCDG will be compatible with paralel displays?

In order to display bar graphs, eq, etc, does interface (aka serial or paralel) matter?
Is there any reference for developing such graphs?



Anyone knows of a vfd 128x128 or something around this kaliber?

*(sorry for the multiple questions, im fairly new to this sport )

 

does anyone have the Half Life plugin installed and he is working???

i download him from LCDC hp and installed exactly so like in readme file. but it doesnt work

why??

 

Been trying to make some bitmap screens with the Icon program lately and I'm having a few problems


If I make any images that have pixels close to the top of the screen when they load up they display for a second and then the top half of the image will disappear. But if I have the image in the centre then it displays fine. Its really frustrating me and I can't seem to fix it.

Any ideas?

 

Sounds like you're not drawing the image on an empty screen, but one with its lcdc lines left blank (so lcdc will draws spaces which overwrite the image). Fill the lines of your screen with lots of [##200]'s and make sure you've set the screen's transition to flip.

Rob.

 

AH HA!!

I see what you guys mean now after reading all 55 pages of this thread and then seeing your reply Cheese hehe.

I thought you had to put the 200's in the parameters line in the events.


I realise that you meant the 5 "Line" boxes in the Screens window. Works perfectly now your a champ

(Can you tell I haven't tried to make a screen before hehe)

 

Bahh you just ruined my reply editing your post like that

Glad it's working,

Rob.

 

Try asking on the LCDC forums . There's a few threads on configuring the half-life plug-in & seamus, the developer, is very helpful

 

i do that exactly but all images that i created with itronicon are faulty after restart of LCDC. some pixels missing in my pics. do u know why??

 

If the output string goes over a certain length LCDC clips it when it restarts - you need to cut the string for large bitmaps into a few bits and put them in separate events.

Kane wrote instructions for this in the read me files I think...

Rob.

 

@Cheese

sorry but who is Kane und where i can find this read me file?

 

The person who wrote the app which converts bitmaps into LCDC strings, and the readme file comes with the app...

All linked in the first post.
