Can i use LCD Smartie to drive a GameOptics?

[Section8]

Just got a GameOptics HD44780 device.

It seems to set up a com port to correspond to the usb interface and claims to be a HD44780 compatable device.

Can anyone tell me if this can be made compatable with the software?
thanks.

the url is http://www.gameoptics.com/product.htm

they claim that they'll be releasing the source for the provided software soon (its rubbish but will no doubt tell us how comms to the thing work)

Hi again all,

I found the test driver stuff in the docs and used portmon http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freew ... tmon.shtml to monitor the com traffic.

This allowed me to work out the following config which seems to work for the gameoptics.

Init=254,48,254,48,254,48,254,56,254,6,254,16,254,12,254,1,254,3,254,64,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,254,72,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,254,80,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,254,88,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,254,96,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,254,104,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,254,112,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,254,120,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,254,1,254,64,24,28,30,31,30,28,24,0,254,72,27,27,27,27,27,27,27,0,254,96,31,31,31,31,31,31,31,0
