Any ideas?
Set ur winamp screen to a momentary screen, for the logo or whatever u want displayed b4 ur winamp screen make an event for "on b4 screen -> winamp" and code ur logo in there ... add a delay command @ the end of ur logo code in the event like so [#delayX with X being the time u want the logo displayed in milliseconds, then just add a clearscreen ... once that event is finished ull eventually get ur winamp screen w/ data and all and since its momentary (shouldnt be ticked) itll only be on when winamp is running and close when winamp closes, or rather stops playing really since u wont have an event to check if winamp stops its just gotta be when winamp is active
You can have graphics and text on the screen, but not next to each other. E>G> you can have a logo graphic across the top and text underneath it (well actually you can if you use positioning commands to miss the graphics) however LCDC is not really designed to do this so you need to frig it e.g. Put image on left side, then for the start of each line use [##254][##71][##col][##row] to move the cursor across and not draw over the image. It is possibly but does need some careful frigging
i tried the "manual overide" if thats what you mean, it still will not allow me to do anything. even upload fonts. Com port is set to 19200, and i know it works because my crystalfontx LCD works on it.
actually i found the problem,, turns out it was the pinout on the 4BR serial cable i ordered. i swapped the transmit and receive pins on the 4-pin part of it and it came on, i was able to write text, and upload a few graphics. of course i still have some more playing to do but i have downloaded every little program under the sun to try with it
