Isn't this a graphical type controller?

Support for graphical ones isn't in our plans... although some users have succeded to control their graphical based LCD's through this software. :shock:

There are some great programs for controlling graphical LCD's... (you can find them with a simple search on the web).
I don't like to make suggestions for other programs.

I insist to use LCD Smartie. You can get a cheap HD44780 based LCD and connect it to your parallel port easy. :P

I could try to write a microcontroller program to do a serial communication for your LCD controller but you should have some skills in soldering and some basic microcontroller programmer!

See my graphic LCD project page here: http://forums.lcdsmartie.org/viewtopic.php?t=841

I will need more info on your screen type: resolution (pixels x pixels), some specific datasheet for it to see the memory mapping and any other relevant info.
