Custom Display Driver...

Post by LeoL »

I was in the process of writing my own utility to show winamp info on a custom USB LCD I've developed when I found this place. Fantastic utility! Looks like it supports everything I need and way more.

So I'm looking for info on how to create a custom display driver for my LCD.

I downloaded the plugin source but realized it's not for writing a display driver. Source code seems to be "pending". Bad timing I guess. :cry:

Can anyone help in the mean time?

What language were you planning on using for your custom driver? If you want to use C++ a nice framework has been posted here.

I have written a few specific display drivers so if you have any questions feel free to ping me.

Thanks Rick. I use VS6 C++ so that framework is exactly what I needed.

You can get some more idea for display drivers from my driver based on the same framework. See this thread: http://forums.lcdsmartie.org/viewtopic.php?t=1472
