GX Typhoon disassembled and painted

I removed my GX Typhoon (Blue/White model) from the bay (black) for painting of the bay's front to match my PC's color scheme. I took quite a few photos of it for my mod, and seeing that MO doesn't have that much info about its appearance on their site, I thought it might be nice to share some of th...

Thanks for the fast reply, Ray! No problem, just good to know I wasn't missing something. :) Will that be included with the released libraries for .NET, in the future? Contrast isn't quite as important even though it is always nice to have. I would like to make a request for some features in the nex...

When I get to that point, I'll be sure to remember. :D I do have a questions about the DriverCore. I hope you can answer them for me... I can set the backlight with a created session, such as: session.SetRGBBacklight(byte r, byte g, byte b) , but I doesn't seem like I can read the GX's current backl...

Ray, thank you again for your help. I just received my GX today, connected it, followed your directions for referencing the GX drivercore in Visual Studio, and ran your simple demo without a single hitch, bug, or difficulty.

Awesome! Now I can get to work writing some apps for the GX. :D

As Ray mentioned, one option is to emulate the G15's USB interface and LCD hardware, then send the output to one of MO's LCDs. Another option would be to hook up an actual G15 and intercept the calls send to it over that specific USB bus and device number. Again, this would take some work and someon...

Super fast shipping

Wow, I'm impressed with UPS from Canada to USA. I just ordered my new GX Typhoon late on Friday night, had MO handle it and ship on Monday, and now it's arriving today (Tuesday)! I even selected the cheapest option for shipping too! Truly awesome. Thanks MO for shipping it out so quickly! :D I look ...

Nice idea, but no, the 5.25" bay has been designed to hold up to 4 addon boards (yet to be released) so placing a HD in there would leave us no space to put those. My old C**********z display was made as a small bracket, allowing me to mount an extra hard drive in same bay. The standard GX ins...

Just a note about the internal USB cable option... It is possible to make your own from the existing cable, provided you have another internal USB connector to sacrifice (or the connector and pins to make one from scratch). However, it takes a little patience and/or courage to do it. Of course the i...

Re: GX Typhoon Closeup pics removed from Mounting Bracket-56

Awesome! Thanks for spending time to take these pics. :D It will let me know what mine will look like, as I just ordered a GX with the white pixels and blue background. It looked to be a bit easier to read (and unique) compared to the standard LCDs with black (pseudo-black). Are your photos of the t...

Thank you for the help, Ray! That should make quite a difference for me, and no problem about the internal vs. production library. I will order one next Friday and check it out. Thanks!

Libraries for .NET or C++

Is there (or will there) be a release of libraries for C++/C# programmers to interface the GX? I'd be interested in purchasing the new GX displays if I can create my own executables for it. LCDStudio is a memory hog, and must be running on each PC that wants to display something on an LCD device. Lo...
