Driver Plugin...

Post by Rafael »

Hi There!

Is there a demo to write a driver plugin? :D

As in a display driver for the new DLL display framework?

So far all the drivers have been written in Delphi, but it would be trivial to convert the framework to a C/C++ DLL.

Or are you talking about plugin DLLs? If so, there are examples in most languages on how to do that.

I wouldn't mind a helping hand here either. I've come up with a cheapie USB->44780 interface using an off-the-shelf microcontroller and a very smart software USB implementation, and I'd like to be able to write a display DLL for it so I can use it from LCD Smartie, no sense me reinventing the wheel and writing a controller.

I use Delphi so there'd be no need for any nasty C++ conversion :D

You guys can browse the CVS repository at sourceforge and look how the current display drivers are done. Specifically look here: http://lcdsmartie.cvs.sourceforge.net/l ... ll_source/
