Driver Core: The engine that makes everything go, so no Drivercore, no LCD, no information on the GX Typhoon Does this mean Typhoon will not be able to work with LCD Smartie ( http://lcdsmartie.sourceforge.net ), Axcis Dashboard ( http://www.axcis.com.au ), Media Center Magic FrontView ( http://www...

Scrolling is not that hard to do it's just a bit of manipulation with strings. Assuming you already know how to talk to the display i'll skip that part. (if you don't look up a tutorial on serial communication with vb6 and use the lk manual to see what commands you can send) Lets imageine we have th...

The three colors are red, green and blue but to make it even nicer you can specifiy the brightness of each in 256 steps giving you a nice range of colors to pick from. I have a rather crappy movie of it here . I'm sorry about the lousy video and audio quality i'm sure henry's official movie will be ...

Aslong as they all are in the same folder you should be ok.

It is correct you cannot install by right clicking the inf and installing it but you must go through the device manager. Did you extract the complete zipfile to the folder you specified or did you only put the inf files in there? If you did extract all files to a single folder and it still complains...

Thats not possible, the LCD2041 is a character mode lcd so it's limited to the standard font thats inside the controller chip. You are allowed to define up to 8 custom characters so in theory you could be able to define 4 double line characters but thats about the best you can do on this model. The ...

You can use mogd# to generate the fonts, it generates a seperate bmp file for each ascii character it generates that should get you started.

The MX2 uses a FTDI chip (FT232) for usb comminication, FTDI lists someone that made some drivers QNX drivers for the FT245 series in its 3rd party section over here.

You might be able to use that as a starting point or perhaps using a regular serial display would be easier to work with in QNX.

Display ON/OFF command on the hd44780 controls the output to the lcd (if your characters are visible or not) and the cusor (visible/invisible/blinking) the hd44780 controller has no control over the backlight at all. You do not have to check the busy flag in between nibbles only after a complete com...

Actually it is normal, while a PLED takes over 10.000+ hours to get to its halflife (the point it's half as bright as it originally was) it's a non linear process. it loses about 25% in the first 1000 hours then slowly fade the other 25 % in the next 9000 hours. The following graph shows the degrada...

Give Portmon a go, it can tell you which process is writing to the serial port.

First of all the controller needs the delays, you can't just take them out and expect it still to work those where there for a reason ;) second depending a bit on your operating system you might not have write access to the lpt port, while this was allowed in dos and earlier versions of windows (3.x...

The software is aimed at graphical displays so the textmode displays just can't handle it, the GLK/GLC Series could be supported but you are taking a severe framerate hit on those since they have 115k2 bandwidth at most while the GX being a full speed usb device gives you a maximum of 12Mbit.

Do you have any specific other display in mind?

Logitech probably figured people would want to do that and put a chunk of their code into all aplications that use the G15 so you can't just replace some dll with one of your own and redirect output. The only way this probably could work is probably emulate the full G15 usb device using the Device S...
