Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen,
my name is Mike, I live in Germany, 30 years old, working near Nuremberg..... I recently started with arduino and started dreaming...my goal is to build a portable weather, vario, gps-device. OK, so nothing complex when compared to the standard high-end arduino and teensy projects.
Just reading analog sensors and the serial output of the gps and displaying it on a display
When looking around I found out, that with the Teensy memory and speed should not be an issue for it (especially when I want to have a little bit more software functionality).
Nevertheless, I get into trouble in the very beginning trying to get the display up and running.
The display is the following, here the datasheet can also be found:
http://test.kamami.pl/published/SC/html/scripts/index.php?ukey=product&productID=199077
It has a rectangular DCB and the mounting holes are slightly wider than the one from ladyada...and the pinout differs (but it´s cheaper...)!
I tried to compare the backside layout from images on http://www.ladyada.net/learn/lcd/st7565.html with the display above and tried to hook it up to the teensy.
The following connection table was found by comparison (triple-checked, but...), I hope its correct:
Pin-Name Pin-#-onLCD-DCB Teensy3.0-pin
CS __16__ 5
RST __17__ 6
A0 __20__ 7
SCLK __6__ 8
SID __5__ 9
Anode __ 3.3V
Kathode __ Gnd
Gnd __17__ Gnd
Vdd 16 3.3V
OK, backlight is running -)), Teensy is connected, Teesy-USB-connection is fine and tested using "Blink"-program. So I loaded the ST7565 example file but the display is not working....
Do you have any idea how to test the display??
I am using Win7, Arduino 1.04, Teensyduino 1.07.
Below you can see the code I tried...
Perhaps you have an idea or some good advice what I can try next !??
Thank you in advance,
Mike
