![]() ![]() ![]() Sorry for the bad picture quality, it is filmed with my cell phone because the battery’s of my camera where empty. ![]() I could do it without the MAX232 if I would desolder the MAX232 on the display itself and connect my signal there but I opted to change nothing on the vfd itself. The display is connected through a MAX232. LCD Smartie is free, open source (GPL) software. It supports many USB and serial port USB backpacks, we use it with the USB and Serial LCD backpack. From DPLCD Smartie is a Windows application that shows news, email, system information, and more on an external LCD screen. The circuit is based on a 16F627A, and is connected to the pc via a FT232. USB and serial LCD backpack setup for LCD Smartie. I’m not very good at programming for pc’s so I made a circuit with a pic to translate the commands that are normally intended for a Matrix Orbital lcd to continuous sending of text. If you want to go to the first character then you need to send characters until you are there. With only text I mean that it does not know commands to determine the position of the cursor. It can only receive text on a serial interface at 9600 Baud. Now is the problem that these displays are not supported by lcd smartie. Now I want to connect 1 of them to a pc and control them with lcdsmartie. ![]()
