Color LCD Booster Pack

Great job mate :clap:

Rob,

 

I think i have a lower cost, and better screen that could work (And it's OLED!)

[RobG 1,892]

What is it? There's always room for improvement.

They look good (though they are not TFT,) we could get few and make a board!

[username 198]

Cheap Color LCD Displays are pretty much a dime a dozen and you can find 100s of different phone LCD displays on ebay. What would be most impressive though would be actually getting one of those confounded things to work. =) Most people would be willing to pay a decent amount for a screen that works then for one that doesn't.

While working on the software tonight, my display became unresponsive. I thought it got zapped by ESD or something so I ordered a new one. Before chucking it, I figured I will run a soldering iron through the contacts just to make sure. Well, that was it, cold solder! I hate when that happens.

 

In any case, I made some progress.

Hawww! good going. You got it. No things should fall into place.

Wow, incredible work! =) Will you be selling any of these booster packs? There any screens larger than 1.8 that will work with this driver?

[RobG 1,892]

Boards should be available very soon, ask b#.

Not sure about displays larger than 1.8", which one do you have in mind?

 

Darn, my LCD's connector got damaged, so I will not be able to continue for couple of weeks.

I can buy you some. What's the cost of these things? Also link me to them.

[username 198]

=( Sorry to hear about your screen. I'd certainly be interested in a booster pack for this.

 

As for the screen I mentioned, I know its not compatible but i'd be nice to have a color/touch LCD of decent size. Its abit pricey but this is what I had my eyes on. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-3-2-TFT-LCD ... 27c370a2bd

[RobG 1,892]

Thanks for the offer, but I already have few coming so I am good.

This will also give me some time to concentrate on the Nokia part of this booster.

 

Here's my initial Nokia code which allows display/chip identification.

 

The 3 displays I have are (phone - driver):

298303 - N6100 - LDS176(PCF8833 comp)?

FE903C - N6101? - SPFD54124B com?

7C8066 - N6085? - SPFD54124B comp?

 

All displays seem to initiate fine, now time to draw something

N6100 works as expected, next!

I will wait with all graphics until I get all displays up and running.

Also, I have to revisit my JD-T1800 code and optimize it.
