JavaLaurence Geschrieben January 20, 2013 at 18:56 Share Geschrieben January 20, 2013 at 18:56 Looking at the LCD 16x2 and 20x4 Bricklet docs, I read that both parts seem to use the KS0066U chip, yet that chip's spec states that it can only support 2 lines. Can it be that a copy-paste error has crept in the 20x4 docs? Does it use a more capable driver chip? Secondly, I would like to display huge HH:MM (time) digits on my LCD. I've seen photos of 4-line displays showing such clock digits built from DOS-like block characters, but after peeking at the currently supported character set, the Bricklet doesn't seem to have the necessary block chars. So my question is: will you enhance the API to support using the RAM-programmable charset generator area of the KS0066U? And finally, the standard charset looks very wasteful of precious 8-bit code space (what with the 32-odd Japanese glyphs and the 51 (!!) different codes mapping to blanks/spaces). Any plans on shipping an LCD with more efficient use of the code space? Zitieren Link zu diesem Kommentar Share on other sites More sharing options...
borg Geschrieben January 21, 2013 at 08:50 Share Geschrieben January 21, 2013 at 08:50 There are 2 KS0066U on the LCD board. Unfortunately we cant change the charset of the display driver itself. An API for the programmable charset is already on the TODO-list ! Zitieren Link zu diesem Kommentar Share on other sites More sharing options...
