Hey
I have been happliy getting my Phanderson K107 serial LCD working with a domino I have. I am trying to emulate the setup on a mini. Everything is pretty well the same, but I just cant get the LCD to recieve a signal from the mini. I have the (one wire) connected to the OUT (Com1) on the mini, via breadboard, and I have it the LCD booting up ok. Here is the test code (which works fine on the Domino) any ideas. I have tried pulling the pin high and low. Uploaded the latest firmware (wasnt THAT exciting). I have searched for a couple of days for an answer, i take my fez off to anyone who can help.
string mentxt = "?bb00?f?y0?x00hello world:"; // ? because thats the pre qualifier for the 107
SerialPort UART = new SerialPort("COM1", 2400); //2400 because it works on the Domino
UART.Open();
byte[] buffer = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(mentxt);
UART.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
Thread.Sleep(100);
UART.Close();
Thread.Sleep(100);
