Paul (or somebody that may know),
How many legible lines of text does the 128 x 64 LCD support? I'm used to the nokia 84x48 display, and I get 6 lines of text out of them, looks to be 8 pixels tall and 5 wide font.
I see in the example code that there is a 5x7 font- so that would be 8 lines of text, yes?
For one of my projects, deciding between 2-3 nokias or 1-2 of these. Main issues being interface pin count (13 vs 5) and price (30 vs 10). By the looks of it, it would take some code mods to make 2 GLCD's function on a single T++, whereas I can stack as many nokias as I want since the pin defs are done as an int array.
The plan is to have a Fio/xBee module on a backpack/pole with a backfire antenna, then two teensy++'s in the control module- one to interpret controller inputs and send the coded signals to the robot, and one to run the displays, showing current properties of the robot (GPS coords, temperature, speed, and various other data).
