Is it possible to create custom characters on this display?
I need ³ (small 3) to indicate cubic meter for example.
I looked at the driver, but I’m clueless as from where the mappings are coming:
static byte[] gylph_reg = new byte[129 * 5]
{
.
.
.
0x36,0x49,0x49,0x49,0x36, /* 8 */
0x06,0x49,0x49,0x29,0x1e, /* 9 */
0x00,0x36,0x36,0x00,0x00, /* : */
0x00,0x56,0x36,0x00,0x00, /* ; */
.
.
.
};
Already done! There is 2 fonts in this file and you can modify to add more fonts http://www.tinyclr.com/downloads/Extension/GHIElectronics.Graphics.Simple128x64.cs
Gus, I know there are 2 fonts in the driver, but it’s missing the character ³
I would like to add it, but to do that i need to understand the mappings.
for example, 8 = 0x36,0x49,0x49,0x49,0x36 (where is that coming from?)
Greetings
I see, convert the numbers to binary using a calculator and then put the number on a piece of paper and you will see the 8. This is basically a binary bitmap of each character. A zero means no pixel and a one is a painted pixel
I have a 16x16 bit map blit function…
public void Image(int x, int y, int Graphic)
{
int offset = Graphic * 2;
for( int y1 = 0 ;y1<16; y1++)
{
Paint8Pixles(x , y + y1, Lcdgraphics[offset]);
Paint8Pixles(x + 8, y + y1, Lcdgraphics[offset+1]);
offset += 36;
}
}
And I store my bitmaps as binary data (just like the glyphs
static byte[] Lcdgraphics = new byte[36 * 16]{

16 graphics in two lines the next two rows etc… of an overall picture mine is 512x16
all in a row.

Ok, thanks guys, I managed to do what I wanted.
