Hi Oleg, I must admit that the way the page was written, it was a little ambiguous, so I just updated it. The $50AUD is for the LCD screen and Micro-LCD board, and no Micro-VGA board is required at all. > Also- do you have any plans to provide with BASIC subroutines (perhaps at > extra cost)- for instance for Stamp / PICaxe or Tiny tiger not at this stage.

The reference to the micro-VGA was made as it supports a similar command set and interface but the two are different. We are offering the micro-LCD (with controller) at an incredibly low price of $50AUD + GST. Our aim is to make it very affordable and available to every engineer, hobyist, manufacturer and the OEM market. Up until now, high quality, colour lcd displays with a simple and powerful user interface was not available for the embedded market and we plan to change that with the micro-LCD (uLCD). The applications for the uLCD are enormous and varied from vending machines, small advertising bill-boards, panel meters and auto guages, alarm panels, instruments and the list goes on. The command set is more than sufficient to perform just about any function. For example, to display an image just use the "Put Pixel" command and send the image via the host controller in a bit stream format. Also for volume orders we will customise the command set and features. We design our products to be simple, powerful and cost effective so as to provide many answers instead of questions. I hope this sheds some light....

The price puts them in about the same market, as b/w LCD displays with features no where near what the colour Micro-LCD offers at his introductory price of $50AUD. (~$38USD) He has also asked me to point out the advantages of having a Micro-USB connected to these boards for development work, and strongly recommends users buying one at the same time. The text can also be found at: http://www.dontronics.com/micro-lcd.html#usb Don... ============================== Micro-USB recommendation: It is strongly recommended that developers also purchase and install a Micro-USB module, as this will assist a lot with your development stage. Even if you just wire the unit up with four jumpers, and not actually install it on the board. Atilla say he uses the PC all the time to help with his development work. The PC offers a quick test environment for the Micro-LCD, so that splash screens and menus can be tested before coding into your embedded application. Docklight RS232 Terminal RS232 Monitor is a very suitable program to test the Micro-LCD from a PC. A new program is being developed to save picture files generated on the PC, so they can be exported to your micro application. Because of this, we have decided not to glue the LCD display to the Micro-LCD board, as the user may wish to install the Micro-USB module, and will need to get to the back of the board to solder it in. There are two tabs on the LCD that line up with two blank areas on the PCB, which will allow you to use either double sided adhesive tape, or glue, to join the two boards together. -- Don McKenzie E-Mail Contact Page: http://www.e-dotcom.com/ecp.php?un=Dontronics USB,RS232 or TTL to VGA Monitor http://www.dontronics.com/micro-vga.html World's smallest USB 2 TTL Conv http://www.dontronics.com/micro-usb.html USB to RS232 Converter that works http://www.dontronics.com/usb_232.html From frankmc at internode.on.net Sat Oct 8 06:02:46 2005 From: frankmc at internode.on.net (Frank Mc Alinden) Date: Sat, 8 Oct 2005 20:02:46 +1000 Subject: [Micro-VGA] Micro-USB recommendation: References: <43479688.5030209@dontronics.com> Message-ID: <019801c5cbef$7262ff80$0100000a@XPHome> Hi Don I have passed on the link to a couple of UK based Home Automation mailing lists so dont be surprized if you get a few more orders ;-)) Frank ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don McKenzie" To: "Micro-VGA Group" Sent: Saturday, October 08, 2005 7:51 PM Subject: [Micro-VGA] Micro-USB recommendation: > Re: http://www.dontronics.com/micro-lcd.html > > Atilla has asked me to pass on his thanks for the support shown from > users today, as we have sold many of these units site unseen, and many > people have purchased several.

I have tried the uVGA-640-256 with two different monitors (Viewsonic VG800, and a Proview 500p). In both cases only part of the screen is utilized and I haven't found a way to adjust the monitor so the screen is filled. Is it possible to fill the screen on a 17 or 18 inch monitor? Is there a certain spec I need to look for, or a model that is known to work?

Hi Frank, are you getting the power up demo message? No, the +5V of the Micro-USB should do the trick. 05:50 here in Melbourne, and it can be when Atilla is getting to bed when he sees the sun come up :-) so I'll take a guess I set the module I used to test the units to 500ma http://www.dontronics.com/graphics/cp210x_power.jpg on the micro-usb page. Atilla said I didn't need to, as the default would drive the LCD's. And I did have trouble a few times establishing comms. I feel it may be the program used. Atilla will help further I'm sure when he surfaces.

Your usb port is mean to be able to supply that... but I know some machines like a Dell I have has trouble with some things that require large currents (like a usb hard drive)... So you could try it on another machine, or use a seperate 5v line for the lcd. I used a seperate 5v line just because I had it on the workbench and had no problem strting it up. When unit starts, you should see two screen come up, the last being a 4d splash screen.. if you get that, your away... I also had one or two times where the uvgaloader would not talk to the board even after restarting the program, power cycled the lcd and microusb and all was good... Hope that helps..

Been looking at a jpeg decoder to implement into the uLCD but it's too involved and not enough resources on the controller. I'm looking at designing the next generation with a DSP + few megs of onboard FLASH + JPEGs + MPEGs + MMC/SD card interface + Full blown PC based GUI to compose a slide show (I'm salivating already .. :-) ). However, let's see how popular the current version of the uLCD is before I jump in.

He has since made it flexible so that the parameters in the com.cfg file can be changed to accept uVGA 64 colours, uVGA 256 colours or uLCD 65K colours. These were the 2 new files I sent you (uVGAloader.exe and the com.cfg) So the updated loader for the uLCD can also be used for all the other uVGA modules. The com.cfg colour parameters for the following modules should be as follows: com.cfg (uVGA 64 colours) rbits 2 gbits 2 bbits 2 com.cfg (uVGA 256 colours) rbits 3 gbits 3 bbits 2 com.cfg (uLCD 65K colours) rbits 5 gbits 6 bbits 5 Atilla -----Original Message----- From: Micro-VGA-bounces at dontronics.com [mailto:Micro-VGA-bounces at dontronics.com] On Behalf Of Don McKenzie Sent: Friday, 21 October 2005 7:17 PM To: Micro-VGA Group Subject: [Micro-VGA] the LCD loader Atilla wrote: > The pics can be any size, the loader will crop them.
