Space Invaders :)

have fun : Space Invaders! (Well... to be honest, not exactly, but close enough. Collision detection is lousy, but should still be fun)

Again, you'll need the .NET framework. And this is also written for a 122x32 display. (On a 240x64 display it will only use a portion of the screen.....)

I prefer snake

Jeroen

Sorry to be such a newb, but how do I install/run this? I don't have a keypad on my MX422, but I'm hoping that it just kind-of runs on its own.

This is only for the graphic LCD displays You cannot use it on a character display.....

I have the MX 412. Is it possible to replace the character LCD with a graphics LCD screen?

Camman,

The GLK12232-25-WB fits the MX4 mounting. The GLK12232-25-WB communicates via serial RS-232, you will have to either create a custom serial cable or get a communication power cable to use the display with your computer.

Please make sure that you check that the programs that you want to use the graphical display with support graphical displays, before switching over.

Thanks for the post.

All you need to create your own graphical MX:

Black keypad mounting: $32.99
Communication and Power Cable: $7.49
GLK12232-25-WBL: $79.95

Total: $120.43

Note: If you are converting an existing MX4/5 over, you won't need to buy another mounting. (unless you want to run them both)

Geez, even I didn't know the GLK12232 would fit that. Good to know! Thanks Jon!

No problemo, just thought I'd mention to be sure to get the -WBL model and not the SM, as the -SM model is too small for the mounting brackets.

Hummmm, Jon I think you mean the WBL module. The SM comes with a WB color and we are talking about the WBL module.
