oled display and lcd4linux

[yamato96]

Got the serial oled display kit (AXE134Y). Plan tu use it on a wrt flashed router trough the serial port (ttl levels - 3,6v). Inicialy I just intended to use the winstar oled and keep the picaxe backpack as a bonus to other projects, but if lcd4linux suports the PHAnderson lcd117 kit, will i be able to use the picaxe18m2 backpack to serial connection to router??

Lcd4linux describes the way to build a driver for yet unsuported lcd drivers, but im in doubt if I need to mod the picaxe18m2 firmware.

thank´s 4 ur time.

If driven from a UART with idle high polarity you will need to edit the 18M2 firmware to use Txxxx baud rates.

If Linux does not already provide the means you may also have to edit the Linux driver to add pauses between bytes sent to give the 18M2 on the driver board time to be ready for the next data.

Thanks 4 the reply. The wrt guys would drool with this kickass serial oled display at this price.

I can easily setup the uart baudrate to 2400 on the config file in the wrt OS,but 2 change from Nxxxx to Txxx, got to burn more eyebrows in the pc screen.

Thanks!
