This is a 128x64 LCD Graphic display with built in controller that will accept serial data. In addition it will also accept the VT100 escape code command set making it very easy to use. There are three choices of display colour. This item is for the GREEN display When used for text the display has two fonts, a bold and a normal font. The normal font will give 21 characters across the screen and 8 lines down. This display is ideal for displaying system information on a PC or for making that Microcontroller project something special. C Source code is available for displaying text files from a PC to this display. The full datasheet and code can be found at www.asi.byvac.com The display uses a subset of the original VT100 escape commands and also many others in addition to enable drawing graphic objects. The VT100 command set is still used in terminal programs and in its time was so popular that it became a standard. When the display is connected to say HyperTerminal anything that is typed in will appear on the display. To get the display to respond to commands, to change to the bold font for instance, escape codes are used. The bold font would be esc(2. This is the escape key followed by a round bracket followed by '2' from now on anything typed will be bold. This is simply text that can be a text file and sent with HyperTerminal or any other program that can send text files. At the above web site there is a program called scom (full C source is also provided) that will send a text file to the PC COM port (or the USB to serial BV103 device). There are many other commands for example for drawing squares and circles. When connecting to a microcontroller there is no need for a translation device and it is also possible to connect multiple displays by making use of the Display Disable feature. The Microcontroller uses a GPIO line to disable two displays whilst keeping one active. 1 x The display complete with PCB ready to go Before purchasing this product please take a look at the related products to make sure this is the correct product for you.
