 Posted: Wed Jun 03, 2020 7:30 pm Post subject: Graphik-LCD 240x128 with T6963 compatible RA6963 Controller |
 |
|
Hello all,
currently I'm working with a Graphic Display (to be precise, with 2 of them  with a resolution 240x128 pixel and a T6963 compatible Controller. One Display is the ERM240128-2 and the other is a TGL47B-240128, both from noname suppliers.
I'm using BASCOM Version 2.0.8.2 with compiler build 2.0.8.2.003
What I see is, that BASCOM is supporting this display most likely completely. But ....
I connected my display exact on the same way like in the BASCOM HELP tutorial.
- Dataport on PORTA
- Controlport on PORTC
- PIN's connected like in the tutorial
My AVR is an ATmega2560.
Nearly everything is working very well.
Text in characters -> working
Graphic with pixels and lines etc -> working
Mixed Mode with Text in Graphic -> working
Special Commands like OR-Mode for Invert Display -> working
BUT ....Showpic for displaying a picture is not working. Neither standard pictures from the examples nor self generated BMP pictures are working. It is independednt whether I store the BGF in compressed or uncompressed version.
Pictures, working on my 64 pixel DOG-M display, are also not working.
It seems that there is a problem with the memory adresses of the Graphic Memory.
Everything I got on the display is completely rubish ....
I tried a couple of things out. For example reducing the clock for 14,7456 MHz to 8. I tried also an ATmega16 with 1 MHz and 4 MHz but got the same result. CPU speed seems to have no impact.
My question now is .... doesn somebody of you know the problem and is there a easy solution to get BGF running?
I mean, there could be a possibility to transfer the data manually to the display but honestly, I don't want to define 3840 bytes and transfer them manually to the memory.....
I would be very happy if you can give me a hint how to solve the problem or what I can check to understand the problem.
Thanks for your help!
Take care ans stay helthy,
Markus
(BASCOM-AVR version : 2.0.8.2 )

Hello
If draw as line and text is working you can say your display is right
Without sample of code it is difficult to understand.
I forgot this king of display since years but I remember some pb about the program
you need to put the bgf file at the end of your program after the end line
Nextion display is so great for me now !
this code is 12 years old

Hello JP,
thanks for the answer.
You are completely right, without sample of code it is difficult to understand.
The code I use bringing the display into oparation is exactely the code from BASCOM HELP for CONFIG GRAPHLCD

'This label holds the mage data
Plaatje:

$bgf "mcs.bgf"
'You could insert other picture data here

The display screen is also showing allways the same shit, depending to the used BGF file. It is NO random content. This is also the reason why I'm thinking, that the display working correctly, HW issue can be excluded and it might be a memory issue how the SW is transfering bytes to the display. Maybe adressing is not correct and maybe pointer increment is not working etc....
Regards,
Markus

@mfulde I cant confirm that problem. Everything works perfectly fine.
Years ago I made strip cables for quick attach and connect this display into some dev. boards so today it was a minute.
..and look what I compile today with Bascom 2082  An animation on this display based on the BGF (I export some frames from animated GIF and convert them)
At the end of animation the text in polish language means "You have mess on your desk"
(live looks better, camera cant show it)
LINK TO SHORT 20sec VIDEO
If you want I can try display your BGF if you attach it or compile some HEX but for this config will be prefferable.
| Code: | Config Graphlcd = 240x128 , Dataport = Porta , Controlport = Portc , Ce = 4 , Cd = 7 , Wr = 5 , Rd = 6 , Reset = 3 , Fs = 2 , Mode = 8
'mode 8 gives 240 / 8 = 30 columns , mode=6 gives 240 / 6 = 40 columns
Cursor Off

when you create the bgf you can select the font. 6x8 or 8x8
this should match the setting of the config

Hei Mark,
THAT's IT
Completely my fault ..... yes ... the problem was sitting in front of the Keyboard !
What ever I tried out in the last days, I did / had a not matching configuration ... mode 6 and mode 8, 6x8 and 8x8 ....
NOW, Mode is 6 and BMP was regenerated with 6x8 and .... wonder by wonder ....
ITs WORKING FINE!
Thanks for your help and the relevant hint.
Regards,
Markus
