I briefly looked at Sabesto’s work. Looks pretty good. I would definitely try that approach when you get back.
If you need further help with this, come to #arduino on freenode, i’m usually there under the same nickname…
Hi all
first post so pardon the noobiness…
my serial GLCD (128x64) is acting up big time. I uploaded summoningDark’s firmware using an Arduino UNO as ISP (followed tutorial) and I thing something got borked.
The display starts up reversed and prints “white over black”, can’t get it back to normal. Reset, reverse color, nothing does the trick. The demo() function is gone so I think the firmware update was effective (says so in the FW README, demo gone), but then again, even before the update I couldn’t get things like drawData(produces garbage characters) or toggleFont(no effect) to work. Commands just don’t seem to go through, other than basic text printing.
This both via Arduino serial (TX-1) and NewSoftSerial. Strangely, with NewSoftSerial the display works on 9600 baud, not the default 115200.
Not sure what info I should provide more…
help!
Hi guys!
Since it seems like this LCD will work better with the already mentioned firmware my aim is to flash my backpack with this. However I can’t seem to find any instructions on how I should do. I’ve read that people are using WINAVR and suppose I have connected the programmer in a correct way, how do I proceed to actually flash the MCU? Are there any tutorials to read maybe?
Help would be much appreciated!
regards from Sweden
Three years later and I’m back at it. I tried compiling the code hopper1068 offered, only to find that Arduino 1.0 doesn’t support the BYTE keyword. Any suggestions on how to remedy this?
I did notice that “NewSoftSerial” is now a part of the standard libraries and is called “SoftwareSerial”, so I was able to make those adjustments in the code.
