Re: programming for HD44780 16x2 OLED?

Hi Ben, Are you sure about it being compatible with the standard LCD component? because I have tried that and it didn't work at all. the R/W pin on the display needs to be programmed in FC. The regular FC LCD component only has provisions for the R/S pin and with a regular LCD you just wire the R/W ...

Re: programming for HD44780 16x2 OLED?

I am using a PIC18F2520 with a 20Mhz oscillator

I have tried many different things in the macro "OLED_INIT" and this is the latest attempt and it isn't working.

I have the DB[0:7] of the display connected to RC[0:7] on the PIC

Re: programming for HD44780 16x2 OLED?

I managed to get the display to print one strange character once, it wasn't the character I tried to print, but after that it won't display anything :(

Re: Apple Remote Control?

I have a white one as well for testing but placed an order for two aluminum ones today.

Do you have any idea on how to make this work? :)

Re: additional components + software

I would like to see the following components in FCv6: Apple remote control (in addition to the existing RC5 component) Adafruit 16x2 OLED Bluegiga bluetooth modules with their iWRAP5 software. Also a couple of popular LED driver chips like TLC5940 etc. I would also like to see a software tool for bu...

Re: Apple Remote Control?

I think the addition of a Apple remote component to use with FC would be great for anyone wanting a simple yet elegant remote control that is also readily available.
It seems very popular with the Arduino crowd.

Here are some Arduino library files for this OLED:

Re: programming for HD44780 16x2 OLED?

Sorry, can't
I am not allowed to by my teacher (don't ask me why, there was no logical explanation given and no point arguing :( )

If I had the funds I would buy FC V5 my self but as a starving student I can't right now.

Re: programming for HD44780 16x2 OLED?

Hi, The wiring isn't the problem. It's all covered in this PDF: http://www.adafruit.com/datasheets/WEH1602.pdf I am using a 20MHz Crystal/oscillator I want to use 8-bit interface because if I have understood the datasheet there are limitations if I want to use 4-bit interface. Also, the R/W pin on t...

Re: oled display

A friend of mine is doing some work with these and FC, I can ask him if he (or I) can post a sample program when he has it up and running. It is not an easy task apparently.

Thanks for your reply.

Ah sorry. I am using PIC18F2520 and PIC18F4550 and Flowcode V5

I don't have a program yet. All my previous experiments have been with a regular LCD displays and the FC LCD component.

Hi, Has anyone used a Apple remote control, the aluminum one for example, with Flowcode? I know how to use the RC5 module in FC but as the Apple remote uses a apple version of the NEC protocol, I don't know how to get this working. I would love to be able to use this remote control as it is very nic...
