Re: Advice on double sided board
Yay !!!!! Finally built it and ... after debugging my total noob error it works :D :D :D I couldn't work out why it didn't work at first, till I actually checked my schematic and in my rush to assemble the board didn't notice I had connect up port D bit 4-7 to port C. I assumed that port D ran seque...

Re: Microcontroller based Graphical lcd game
Hi,
It works fine in the test code using your Bitmap instead of the truck
There isn't anything in the code you posted there to draw the bitmap

Re: Microcontroller based Graphical lcd game
Hi, My version of Isis doesn't have the 18f4550, where did you get yours from ? I ask as when I use your design nothing will run at all. If I delete your 18f4550 and use the 18f4520 in Isis everything runs fine. I dont use Mikro C, I'm borrowing someone elses to test your code which lists 1000's of ...

Re: Microcontroller based Graphical lcd game
Hi,
The errors I get on Isis running that code suggest you haven't defined the processor properly
Have you selected it project settings ?
Also when using using GLCD's in mikroC, the lower the clock speed the better, its glitchy.

Re: Advice on double sided board
Yeh Gav I found that as well. I'm going to use photo resist so the lining up should be easy as its transparent, it's slipping the board between the 2 sheets thats tricky, still it'll be fun trying it out as I love making boards

Advice on double sided board
Hi guys, Making a GLCD development board and quickly realised it's going to have to be double sided. I'm ok with actually producing the board but wonder how I'm going to handle soldering pins on the top side that are through hole , ie the GLCD and the Pic holder. resistors etc aren't a problem as th...

Re: GLCD Graphic LCD - Using Swordfish Basic
Gav,
Take a look at this little program. It creates the code you need for using bitmaps in Swordfish. Might be handy
