Ok I have a text based LCD, it has a PT 6315 controller [ data sheet : http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheet/PrincetonTechnologyCorporation/mXvqurs.pdf ] - I was wondering if there is anyway I can control it (I just want it to do some very simple things - e.g light up the eject button and say 'EJECT'). To bad it's not a HD4770 controller as there is heaps of documentation on that ( I have a text based LCD with that controller also but it won't work for this project - to big). This is not a standard text LCD, it's one from a DVD player so it has...'parts' already on there (e.g USB/CD/DVD/REC) but i'm not asking anymore from what it can do normally (I just need to be able to do that, without hooking it up to the DVD player). If need be I can take pictures of the whole PCB and LCD if this can actually get off the ground Any help would be much appreciated (or good websites but I haven't been able to find any) thanks gigabite |

Why buy one, when you can buy two for twice the price.

Get the real datasheet and it will tell you how to control it, that's what datasheets are for.

wait a f***ing second, didn't you punk bitch make fun of my school project last year? you know, when I controlled an lcd using an fpga + usb? guess it won't pay out to be so loudmouthed after all  |

looking at the datasheet (yeah, I know, I'm bored), I realized that this "project" is way too much for you I mean, considering you can't even read a datasheet... this most likely also means you don't know what or how to use a microcontroller but seriously, how much more obvious can it be when you read "CLK", "DOUT" and "DIN"? maybe it's not documented, but with a little try-and-fail, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to get to the bottom of it and on top of that: I'm French (which you pointed out once or twice to be a bad thing, iirc) |

......how to use a microcontroller....... that is why I am asking for help I did read the data sheet and tried to understand it (I think I understand some of it but I don't even know what to do from there is the problem). I would try to do something (I don't care if it doesn't work) but I don't even know where to start with that - I don't (think) I need to be spoon fed [as what I want to do seems very achievable] I just need a little help/explanation and maybe some good reading links...if you don't want to help that's fine gigabite |

I can't kick a dead person in the face... so I suppose I'll give you hints on where to begin:
- a) learn C or a similar language with which you can use portio
or b) get an old computer running dos and learn how to code in assembly (it's pretty easy, all you need is mov, out and some others like and, or, not)
- get portio and embed it into your app
- read up on how to use lpt (0x378 up to 0x37A? I can't remember the exact addresses, been too long), including its modes (EPP, etc.)
to test your "experiments", you can plug leds in series with 150ohm resistors (around that value, maybe even 300ohm) from pins 2-9 (correct? idk) to 18-25 (again, idk if this is correct, look up a pinout)
once you know how to output and input stuff from/to lpt, you can post back and ask for moar help

yeah, well, it's just, I am not a programmer (and I don't want to learn any languages) - I can't describe it very well but you want me to basically learn a whole language (or even parts of it, from scratch) then saying just play around with it until you get it...that's the best way I can sort of describe it. Don't worry about it, thanks for the help though  gigabite |
