Hi,
I've a serial display for which lcdsmartie doesn't have a plugin. I know the commands used to make this display operate and I'm a VB.NET programmer.
How can I start to begin to write a plugin? I've read the page http://lcdsmartie.sourceforge.net/plugins.html and I've downloaded vb.net example but I don't understand how to write basilar functions such as set brightness, move cursor and so on using lcdsmartie interface.
I must use the infos from this topic? http://forums.lcdsmartie.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1419
There is a basilar plugin for vb.net that provide and example on how to provide basilar functions? (brightness, set display size, move cursor, clear the screen and so on).
Sorry for my bad english. Hope someone can help me.

Re: Plugin for new serial display (no crystalfontz no matrixorb)
I'm writing some code... but doesn't operate....
Can someone help me?
This is an example:
Public Class my_lcd
Public Function DISPLAYDLL_Usage() As String
Return "Usage example: COM9,19200"
End Function
End Class
I'm expected to see string "Usage example...." beside the textbox "Startup parameters" ....
Is this the correct approach in vb.net?

You have to use test driver under "Display plugin".
Display plugins are completely different than the function plugins. The examples you are using is referred to a different application. You cant create a driver like this.
