Hi,

I am experimenting with the GLCD in flowcode, so far i have managed to initialise it and also print text, the problem is that the text is extremely faint and i cannot get any colours to show on the lcd.

i first thought it was the contrast settings but cant find any settings for this in the GLCD.c file

anyone got any ideas as to what i might be doing wrong??

Hello,

Which gLCD are you using. Is it an original v1 EB043 E-block or is it another one?

Hi

Its the Lcd from a nokia 6610, phillips chipset, (ebay knock off)

i have tried looking for and also adding in the contrast settings but no good, i also found another thread on here that said you have to play with the colour settings in the code, but it gave no info on how to do such a thing.

not sure if it helps but the using 0x21 to invert the screen doesnt work either. could this just be down to incompatability??

Hello,

This is a good page, It helps you determine exactly which version of the display you have and also points to all the different datasheets etc.

You may be able to use this to get your display working correctly.

Have you looked at the datasheet for our EB043 E-block as this should show you the correct way to connect the display up.
