SirPatrick 35 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I found a post on the TI E2E community asking questions about the LCD on the educational boosterpack. Someone posted some code for energia and it worked perfect. I took the code and "translated" it to non energia. Here is the forum post. Also here is documentation for the LCD itself from the manufacturer website (PDF). Right now this code prints "hello 43oh.com" . I am going to play with it more later tomorrow. If it is messy code I apoligize, long day at school work in addition to getting use to this platform.. tripwire, bluehash and pine 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Right now this code prints "43oh.com" from the ascii character values. This is perfect. Thanks for taking it up. Is it possible for you to post a pic? I'll place it on the blog. Also x-posting to this thread. SirPatrick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SirPatrick 35 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Best I could do this morning. After school / work I will upload some more code and pictures. http://i.imgur.com/r2J5kqO.jpg pine and bluehash 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cubeberg 540 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Thanks SirPatrick! I should have mine in a day or two - this will definitely help get me started. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jbottoms 0 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 OK, so what are gator holes? They look a bit like the old banana plugs that used to be used on multimeters. I haven't seen them documented anywhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cubeberg 540 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 OK, so what are gator holes? They look a bit like the old banana plugs that used to be used on multimeters. I haven't seen them documented anywhere. I'm wondering that myself. One is connected to 2.7 with a weak pull-up resistor (22M). The other is connected to GND. CapTouch, XOUT and GPIO are all you can do with the pin. Would the pull-up interfere with CapTouch? It'll be interesting to see the Wiki when they add code examples.

Rei Vilo 695 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 The Educational BoosterPack comes with no ready-to-use library and no out-of-the-box software. I really like the educational challenge for the users: looking for the specification sheets, reading and understanding them, writing the libraries from scratch or adapting existing ones.Obviously, I've developed my own library on Energia for the Educational BoosterPack. But what should I do? keep the true educational challenge intact? or release the library? Just answer the poll! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
