I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question.
Anyway, I'm looking at the GLK12232-25 for a class project. We are building a small game platform based on the motorola 9S12DP256 microcontroller. The interfacing shouldn't be difficult, but I was curious about the response time of the display. Will we be able to update the display fast enough for simple games like pong/space invaders? As this part is the largest portion of our budget, I wanted to be sure that the display would be up to the task.

Thanks!

Hi vuapache,

Thanks for posting on the forum.

If you are planning on doing simple games, then it will work with the GLK12232-25. The graphics displays aren't as fast as alphanumerics, but they are sufficient enought to create simple little games.

The following links are games that have been made for the GLK12232-25.

The speed of the display will also depend on the baud rate. If you are to use a faster baud rate, then make sure you put delays in your code. For more detailed information on the GLK12232-25, you can refer to the manual at http://www.matrixorbital.ca/manuals/GLK ... 232-25-SM/

If you have anymore questions or concerns, please feel free to post them.
