DX160 Display Driver and Extra Plug-in released!
Posted: August 23rd, 2007, 8:35 pm
I have finally gotten the DX160 in a state I can release an almost complete version to the public!
Here is what this display driver (and related plug-in) supports:
1) Up to 4 lines with 20 characters of text
2) Complete custom character support inside of LCD Smartie
3) Complete screen refreshes/scrolling/etc in 200ms or less
4) BONUS, ability to utilize a total of 24 custom characters with standard LCD Smartie plug-ins.
Future work:
1) "Support" 4x40 to in reality get 8x20 lines of text
2) Extend the custom characters to 6x8 to get gap less graphs, etc
3) Technical updates like utilize threading to paint the LCD, etc.
But I am excited to offer the ability to have up to three perf tiny graphs on the display at a single time!

To download the Driver and the Plug-in please visit my LCD site.
And I welcome and comments or feedback.
