WOW - did you do any function for text / fonts - can get a colour bar pattern on mine but really don't know where to start with text - was hoping you or Steven had done / doing a library

It's already included in the Swordfish samples folder

..\Samples\GLCD\Nokia6100\ProgramFont.bas

not had chance to try it yet (on holiday to do some DIY) but where are the output pins set up

On the line

Code: Select all

#option GLCD_MODEL = S1D15G00

highlight 'S1D15G00' and press F1 - you will see the available options...

Wow David even more impressed seeing it on my screen !!!!!

Just one thing

How do you convert your graphics.

Looks like its swordfish from now on - used Proton before

Thanks for your help

You can download a very simple image converter plugin from here.

Anybody know of an easy way of rotating the display and still send text to it, would like to fit it in a 1U rack mount case but it just wont fit without rotating.

It shouldn't be too hard with this display as it is accessed pixel by pixel. I'd encourage you to have a careful look through the library module - I learnt a lot by doing this with similar modules. If I get chance, I'll look myself also.
