I've ordered a 2.83" module from 4D systems and I am trying to get my head around it before it arrives.
I thought I could just send serial instructions to it, much like the rev-ed 2 line LCD display, but it looks like I have to write a program in their language first, download it to the GLCD and only then can I write to it with a picaxe.
Has anyone any code for these little beasties or can anyone confirm the above?
It would be nice if there was a generic program that could receive serial messages to put characters where they should be. Does something like this exist? I will try the 4D systems forum as well...
Ultimate aim is to show a readout of a few parameters such as voltage, current, temperature of a battery pack being charged.
