If using the uUSB: look under the single 4pin header on the uUSB module (the one at the front), there is a thin tape separating the B connector and the top of the header. If too much heat is applied during soldering this may have eaten away the tape and the pin header maybe shorting on the metallic case of the USB B connector. Get a meter and check for shorts between these pins. If using the Rx/Tx : This interface is at 3.3V levels internally and if you're connecting to a 5V system you need to insert a resistor between your host and the uLCD Rx/Tx. Another problem maybe if you have the uUSB installed and then trying to talk to it via the Rx/Tx may not work. The idea of the uUSB interface is to do your initial testing/playing around and then have your host interface via the Rx/Tx lines (unless your host has a USB master and USB interface is what you want).

I'm not a Linux person, so I can't help at all in that direction Matt, but I am curious as to the condition of the unit. You say it powers up with the 4D logo. Can you send a picture file to it from a PC using the downloader program? I have found that if the 4D logo displays on power up, then the unit is usually OK. It has just been the header cables loose in the socket, that have been a problem in the past, and I hope we will have overcome this in the next batch. Sorry, best I can offer.

Plug the micro usb module in, windows should detect it and ask for the driver... If it's working ok you should be able to go to Start> Settings> Control Panel> System> Hardware> Device Manager> Ports (COM and LPT) and under there you should see a device "CP210x microUSB to UART Bridge Controller" with the com port number after it.. Then follow the config procedure for the ulcd loader and your away...

I've posted my code here: http://www.next2nilhosting.com/micro-lcd/micro-lcd-linux-test.tar.gz This code inits's the micro-lcd, clears the screen and writes hello on the screen, then after 10 seconds it shuts the screen down. Please Note: This is NOT my best code, far from it... it's been thrown together in last few hours... it's been a long long time since I've used tty's as well so that part is probably also very ugly... A lot of things are not handled how they really should be... I.E. this is "Test Code" in every sense of the word... Just thought I'd state that from the start... A few other things to not... When I was using the micro-usb with minicom, hardware flow control needed to be disabled for everything to work. Also, when I was using the read() and it was blocking, more often that not if I Ctrl-C of killed the process, the usb would have a fit and take the kernel with it in a blaze of glory... reboot the system... I suspect bad driver... so... give this code a go... but your milage may vary... :) Regards Neil Matthew F Clark wrote: >ah, I didn't know if windows had the right driver or not....thank you^^ > >-Matt > > >-----Original Message----- >From: Micro-VGA-bounces at dontronics.com on behalf of Neil Davey >Sent: Thu 11/3/2005 2:56 AM >To: Micro-VGA Group >Cc: >Subject: Re: [Micro-VGA] hello, quick question >Hi Matt, >Getting it to go under windows with the usb module *should* be pretty >straight forward... > >Plug the micro usb module in, windows should detect it and ask for the >driver... > >If it's working ok you should be able to go to Start> Settings> Control >Panel> System> Hardware> Device Manager> Ports (COM and LPT) >and under there you should see a device "CP210x microUSB to UART Bridge >Controller" with the com port number after it.. > >Then follow the config procedure for the ulcd loader and your away... >(In theory at least... :) ) > >Regards >Neil > >Matthew F Clark wrote: > > > >>sure thing. >> >>Don: I tried very briefly to get it to work in windows just as a test, >>but since I'm using the USB module I could not get the picture loader >> >> >or > > >>docklight.

I powered it up and got the spash screen so I breadboarded up a max232 with a 1k resister on both the TX/RX lines of the microLCD. Plugged it into a spare RS232 port on my linux machine, turned it all on, fired up a minicom and 'Thunderous applause' it worked. Sent a U to autobaud and then an E to clear screen. I decided to stick with RS232 instead of USB as all my other projects have been based around this simple interface. Now all I need is some time to put this great little unit to good use. One minor problem is that as the screen is now glued to the main board there are no real mounting points for the unit. Did I hear there was something in the pipeline??? -- Daryl Sayers To reply please remove the XYZ from the email address.

The LCD is not actually glued to the board, there are 2 plastic tabs on opposite corners and these are melted and hold the board and the LCD together. You can actually pull apart the LCD from the board with the help of a screw driver (very carefully) if you really need them as separate units but I wouldn't recommend it. We've had all sorts of problems previously with the LCD cable coming out of the connector etc hence the reason for them being "glued" and supplied as a single unit. There are also 3 solderable areas on the corners of the board where you can solder some metal tags with holes and use them for mounting the unit. There is currently a mould for a plastic housing being made but it's some weeks away. I'll let everyone know as it nears completion. Regards, Atilla Aknar 4D Systems Pty.

I powered it up and got the spash screen so I breadboarded up a max232 with a 1k resister on both the TX/RX lines of the microLCD. Plugged it into a spare RS232 port on my linux machine, turned it all on, fired up a minicom and 'Thunderous applause' it worked. Sent a U to autobaud and then an E to clear screen. I decided to stick with RS232 instead of USB as all my other projects have been based around this simple interface. Now all I need is some time to put this great little unit to good use. One minor problem is that as the screen is now glued to the main board there are no real mounting points for the unit.

My Micro-LCD & Micro-USB units arrived yesterday (Thanks!), and I have a minor question about linking them together. 1. In the Micro-LCD doco, it says that the TX/RX pins are 3.3V level only, and 1k series resistors must be used when interfacing to 5V logic level devices. When looking through the doco on the Micro-USB, I couldn't find any references to the output voltage levels. Do I need to use 1k resistors when linking the Micro-USB to the Micro-LCD? Investigation of the Micro-LCD board shows the TX/RX lines connected straight through...but I want to be 100% sure that this is OK before I let the smoke out! 2. Can the Micro-USB provide enough power from the 5V line to drive the Micro-LCD (i.e. does it register as a 'Hi-Power' device on the USB bus automatically)? Or do I have to manually adjust the power parameters using the setup program downloadable from the website?

The uUSB can connect straight to the uLCD, in fact it was designed to mount straight onto the board, as there is a spot there for it. This is also covered on the uLCD page. > 2.

I noticed this, and had seen the notes on the web page about doing so. I *assumed* that this was the case, but due to the lack of info on the I/O levels on the Micro-USB I wanted to be 100% sure. >it's fine as is. you don't have to adjust anything. Was wondering, as the Micro-LCD data sheet states that the average current requirement is 120mA with a max of 140mA. My understanding of the USB standard is that a USB slave device can pull a maximum of 100mA without having to negotiate with the Hub for more (up to 500mA). The Hub can deny the slave device this extra power, and should force a disconnect if the power consumption is more than negotiated..... >the main thing is not to mix up the power connections. :-) I will be extremely careful. Got to keep the smoke in! ciao, Dave
