Can you change the splash screen on this using the serial commands? I found an old document that says "set up the first two lines how you want them, then send…" But I was not sur eif that applied to this unit? Also, what commands, if send via arduino, will allow me to customize the splash screen?

Thanks!

veAlso is there an easier way to make designs than doing this LCD.setPixel(x,y,1); for every pixel?

Not sure if anyone is paying attention to this thread anymore. I bought this product back in 2011. Finally got around to properly powering it in 2013. I loaded the summoningdark firmware and loved how well it worked. Returning to this project after a couple of weeks I clumsily hooked the backpack up to the wrong supply voltage and fried it. Thinking that the LCD could probably be salvaged I ordered a replacement standalone backpack and swapped them out. Another year later and I've finally loaded the summoningdark firmware on this new backpack and have a nicely regulated 6.38V powering the backpack.

Unfortunately, something is still very wrong. The LCD displays random lines and I've tried the reset commands and clear screen commands to no avail. Any tips on troubleshooting the LCD with the backpack on are appreciated since I would prefer not to have to order a replacement screen (having already sunk about $67 and a couple uncommitted years into this).

I'm not a programmer I just tinker with Arduino so I'm just documenting what I got to work and what I couldn't get to work.

The hookup guide spends more time explaining how to change firmware than anything else. The hookup guide is somewhat useful but it's pretty much what it says a hookup guide. Use the demo code to figure out how to write your program.

I used the library supplied by Sparkfun along with the softwareserial library on an Arduino Mega 2560 and an Arduino Uno.

For me the vu meter example didn't do anything for me as I could never figure out the code. Far more code for the vu meter than I needed just to figure out how to get this display to work. For an advanced programmer it would probably have helped but for a less than novice programmer it was no help. A more simple example would be preferred.

Display works but you have to give it time to work so add delays in after every command to the display. 1 - 2 seconds seems to be about right for most commands. I tried different baud rates and all seem to work but all need delays after sending the commands to the display.

I was not able to verify the setHome() function works but it doesn't seem necessary as you can send the curser anywhere you want with setx() and sety().

I never could get clearScreen() to work correctly but I used eraseBlock(0,0,128,64). Give it a 2 - 3 second delay after the command to get the screen cleared. It was odd that the demo program used clearScreen() extensively and it worked but I wasn't able to get it to work with any code I wrote. Likely a programming issue on my side and no fault of the display or firmware.

After uploading new code to the Arduino I found some strange things happening on the LCD. After I uploaded the code I would give it a chance to run and it usually seemed like it wouldn't work or would write charectors in the wrong place. Then I started manually resetting the Arduino with the reset button on the board after an upload of new code and the display would reflect the new version that was uploaded.

Also ran into something with the serial buffer that it wouldn't print the last character you send it. Then when you send it the next string it would start with the last character of the previous string and drop the last character of the string you just sent it. I saw mention of this somewhere in some documentation that I found during a search but I couldn't find it again once I realized what was happening. This lead to clearing the serial buffer in the setup routine of my program before the display needs to do anything.

Don't forget to initialize an instance of softwareserial with the correct pins and setup the baud for softwareserial in the setup portion of your sketch.

The only way I was able to send decimal numbers to this display was to send the integer part of the number (left of the decimal) with printNum() then take the decimal part of the number and change it to an integer and round it to the decimal precision you are looking for and use printNum() to send it to a different place on the screen past the decimal. Print the number in 2 parts using printNum() to two different places on the screen so it looks like a number with a decimal but is actually two integers separated by a decimal. There is probably a better way to do this I just didn't figure it out.

Overall the display seems to work it's just very slow so if your project can tolerate slowing down the loop with delays to print to the LCD display you are good to go.

Second one sort of works but the display is very faint even after adjusting the control for best display and ensuring I had a good supply voltage and current . Also this one has "splodges" on the screen that are always there so long as back light is on.

Who had the stupid idea of chopping off the mount holes on the top edge ? I wanted to mount this in the lid of a panel but cant really do much without a full hole.

Can send pics of the splodges. Also despite placing cursor commands just in front of the text I want to display this thing puts it in random places (pictures also available)

I emailed support already on the original issues.

Really wishing I had bought something else. I could have had larger and colour from china for less than this piece of junk. Saying that with good cause cos I will have to go through Canada Robotix RMA scheme which is designed to put you off returning things and could test anyone's patience. This display has cost me about 8 hours in time dealing with RMA and about $50 in gas. Not to mention stress.

Maybe I need to do a you tube video on how to destroy sparkfun products.

Sorry but had to vent.

UPDATE Forgot to mention this is a version 1.0. Printed on the back and does not have the sticker most of these have…noticed people mention newer versions and I only just bought this so is it possible I got "very old" stock ?

Why are the mounts on the top edge cut off ? How to securely mount without them ?? Sending mine back to supplier as I need to make sure I can mount it without doing some "redneck" stuff to it.

If the second device is not working properly and your first screen is functional in a known good circuit that you tried with the second screen chances are the device could be bricked or defective. Please E-mail email@example.com and we can take care of you.

On my second one of these with no luck hooking up to any f the 4 Arduinos available to me.

Have 5v and Gnd from the Arduino and the RX pin on the display connected to the TX on the Arduino as suggested.

Libraries are in place as the demo programs etc. all compile without error. My serial 16 x 2 displays, Parallel displays and TFT displays all work fine.

What am I missing ?

For 2014 users:

Use "Serial Graphic LCD Library (Post-1.0 Compatible).

The pins are:

Arduino | Backpack| 5V | Vin
 GND | GND
 D3 | RX

Digital 3, not TX as the sample code says.. :_$

For all those having problems with this display not clearing here is a simple clear function that can be used with SoftwareSerial.h

void clearLCD(){ LCDcomm.write(0x7C); //flag LCDcomm.write((byte) 0); //clear command 0x00 = (byte) 0 delay(100);

hope this helps.

Hello, I tried to change the baudrate of this serial LCD. But failed every time. The initial baudrate is 115200. So with 115200bps, I sent 0x7C 0x07 0x03 commands for 19200bps. And then changed my speed to 19200bps and sent next commands. But gabage on the screen. Altenately with 115200bps, I sent 0x7C 0x07 0x33 commands for 19200bps. And then changed my speed to 19200bps and sent next commands. Same gabage. It means the baudrate was not changed. I was wrong? What is the truth?

I am trying to put a clock to the display. I use gotoPosition to write it in the same place. Sometimes it writes somewhere else or it writes my information incomplete?

I'm a newby and didn't know where to start. Thanks to Tahaic's post above( https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9351#comment-4eaad851757b7fd351008a9f )I was able to pull it all together. One slight issue that I had at the end, was getting two avrdude errors - can't open device "giveio" and failed to open parallel port "lpt1". I was able to fix that by executing the install_giveio.bat, and now it runs great. Thanks Tahaic

Hello, thank you in advance for your help, I am using this display connected to the serial output of a device based on Cinterion XT65, when I try to send control sequences to clear the screen or running the demo, shows strange characters instead of running commands (see picture in http://www.flickr.com/photos/g_riveras/6992596295/). I am using the following routine Java ME:

//—————————————————————— protected void startApp() throws MIDletStateChangeException {

 try { byte[] buffer0 = new byte[2]; CommConnection com0 = (CommConnection) Connector.open("comm:com0;" + "baudrate=115200;" + "bitsperchar=8;" + "stopbits=1;" + "parity=none;" + "blocking=on;" + "autocts=off;" + "autorts=off"); OutputStream com_os0 = com0.openOutputStream();

// Limpia pantalla buffer0[0] = 0x7C;
 buffer0[1] = 0x00;
 com_os0.write(buffer0);

// Ejecuta demo de funcionamiento buffer0[0] = 0x7C;
 buffer0[1] = 0x04;
 com_os0.write(buffer0);

 } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } destroyApp(true); }

I've been using the glcd 09351 with a couple of picaxe 20x2 projects. I wonder why the default baud rate is 115,200 when most of the u-chips operate 4800 to 9600 default. Of course I can guess the display is exciting at 115,200 but in most cases this is not realistic.

Just a note to new users, the glcd is 115,200 baud and is compatible to PC serial output. Using the information in the product documents, a PC terminal program can be used to set the default to your requirements. Put a 5 second delay in your program INIT routine to allow the glcd to boot past the banner page otherwise the baud rate auto resets back to 115,200 … Yeah pretty strange. Otherwise I find the glcd to be reliable, drawing lines and circles is no problem, even making a simple 'scope is possible and kinda fun.

Comment from our customer Frederick:

"This has been a Great display, However the Default Baud Rate (115,200bps) is a real hassel.

I use this display on my PIC projects and to use it causes problems.

To keep my experiments at minimal I do not use the PIC UART and typically 9,600 bps is used.

I can set it correctley and use power up delays etc and I use my PC Com Port to reset it from 115,200bps to 9,600bps.

It just would be a lot more useful and sensible if it defaulted to 9,000bps so I can change it to something higher using my PIC's and not rely on the PC.."

For those of you trying to re-flash the 128x64 LCD like myself, I used TAHAIC's post to figure out which pins on the LCD backpack were which. I wish I could post pictures because I made a great diagram for myself that would save you a lot of trouble, but I can't. So….
 The most time consuming part was finding the correct pins on the sparkfun backpack. Here are some additions to the post above that might help. On my backpack the AtmegaGA168 is a square shapped micro-controller but is mounted upside down. Using a flashlight I read the label on the chip that said "AtMegaGA169". The black circle on this chip marks pin 1. For the following tips to work place pin 1 so it's the top left cornor this might mean you have to rotate the PCB upsidedown. The bottom right pin, when pin 1 is top left, is the MISO pin. When pin 1 is the top left pin, just below the mirco controller there are 6 holes in the PCB board these are the programmer holes. You need to find hole 1. Hole 1 is tied directly to the MISO pin on the microcontroller, the Atmega168. I just used continuity on my multimeter to varify. I put one lead from my multimeter in the programmer holes on the backpack pcb and the other on pin16 on the micro controller. I got continuity!
 What was hard for me anyways, was that 1.) the microcontroller is upside down. 2.) the programmer pins are backwards, when the PCB is upsidedown pin 1 is top right, when you'd expect it to be top left. 3.) I am kinda new at this.
 Finally, I'm sorry if I was too wordy. I tried really hard to use clear steps. Also… didn't use spell check…

Is there anything I can do to determine if the firmware is new or if it is the old firmware I read complaints about.
 I can draw boxes and send text Ok, is it possible to rotate the characters 90 degrees and make double size characters?
 The baud rate reset to 115200 is not a problem if the program begins with a long delay (5 seconds here) before sending a serial stream. Once the display resets to 115200 its necessary to use a PC terminal emulator at 115200 to send the control string for lower baud rates. So far this has not been a problem.

This looks like a VERY nice. I am PROBABLY going to get one as soon as I figure out EXACTLY how to use it with my Picaxe. P.s., I am making a Picaxe based "laptop" with parts from sparkfun. If possible, all from here. Because i love sparkfun but thats not related lol.

Why aren't these stocked in different colors? Adafruit has them.

 White on Blue
 I'm sure there are differences, but there grey/green one is a lot cheaper, too.

The firmware thats on the product when you purchase it is NOT SummoningDark's. The library i wrote for it (the one linked above) only works if you flash it with SummoningDark's firmware.
 I could write a library for the original firmware, but i'm waiting for a new ISP cable, so i cant test it right now. However, i think it should work with just a few minor modifications if you can live with the bugs…

I'm confused. The Graphic LCD Library that is linked to in the product description on this page is ONLY for use with the firmware written by SummoningDark. However, the Source Code that is linked to in the same place appears to be the 05/11/10 firmware version that (by what I glean from the comments) is somewhat improved from the original, yet still unacceptably buggy.
 Did Sparkfun finally do the right thing, and incorporate the improved firmware? Or are they still shipping this product with the known problematic firmware, and further confusing the issue by linking to a library with incompatible functions?
 Before I proceed with plans to use this display in an upcoming project, I need to know if I should purchase a programmer, and begin climbing the learning curve to reflashing the chip.
 Don't get me wrong… I need to learn how to do this eventually, but this project already has me facing several learning hurdles, within a tight time frame. I need to choose my hurdles wisely ;)
 Thanks in advance!

I bought my first Aurduino (UNO Eleven) with this LCD and backpack 2 days ago. I got the backpack on the LCD with the idea it would simplify the interface to the LCD. I quickly came to the realisation that the rendering of this display was very slow and there was no flow control (e.g. Xon, Xoff) which ment I was going to run into trouble real quick with having to put delays in my code. Looking around I found SummoningDark's firmware at http://serialglcd.sourceforge.net/ and I wanted to try it but didn't know how to get the main.hex into the ATmega168. I finally worked it out and this is what I did:
 I built a simple programmer cable like this except I used 100ohm resistors - just used stuff I had laying around. I connected the cable to the 6 pin ISP connection on the backpack as shown here which is explained about a 1/3 of the way down on the page. I confirmed these connections with the pinouts from the manufactures datasheets which is on page 2 here . I downloaded and installed WinAVR from here . I changed the programmer options in SummoningDark's firmware makefile (in firmware\trunk folder) to direct parallel "dapa" which has the correct pin out for this programmer cable (i.e AVRDUDE__PROGRAMMER = dapa)and also changed the port to lpt1 (i.e. AVRDUDE_PORT = lpt1). I'll just mention here that programmer types are defined in the avrdude.conf file in WinAVR\bin folder. I then opened command prompt and changed directory to firmware\trunk folder and typed "make all" to recompile the main.hex file (WinAVR install adds its path to the system path variable so windows knows where make and avrdude is).
 With the LCD powered by the +5V from my Arduino (Arduino plugged into the USB) and the programmer cable connected to computers LPT1 I typed "make program" at the command prompt and avrdude proceded to flash the ATmega168 on the backpack. It said "verification error" and "safemode lfuse changed! Would you like this fuse to be changed back? y/n" I typed "n" and pressed enter…it did the same for hfuse and efuse and I said no to all three. I then flashed it again to check and it said fuses OK avrdude DONE. Thank You.
 My backpack works fine now! Thanks to SummoningDark's firmware …. awesome job! I would like to try and contribute to this firmware - I have a few ideas. I hope this helps someone…. as it took me the last 2 days to figure all this stuff out.

I started troubleshooting the problem. The black box printed on the screen is a '0x00'. So i looked into what would be causing that, I had an older function to Erase a block from an arduino library that i used to reference for my pic library i made. It was passing in 5 parameters, the 5th one being 0 or 1,which thanks to @PhysComp Hobbyist, I read his comment a from a while back saying that the 5th parameter is not supposed to be there, so I updated the library i setup and the blocks are gone.

Hi sparkfun, new problem on the screen here…. I'm using 115200 baud, i have a routine that updates a temperature reading every 5 seconds, I clear a box where the previous temp was and update the newer temp. But I have a black box that shows up to the right of my written text…..what is causing this? I set the baud to 9600 and ran the routine, same thing :(
 Here's a link to a pic of the blocks i was talking about…

My display has been working fine, until i disconnected it from my arduino (to try out my new cellular module :). Now if i connect my LCD and arduino and try to upload I always get this error:
 avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
 avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51
 I can upload if I disconnect the LCD (tx/rx). But when I connect it again I get blank screen using my previous working code.
 Does anyone know how to solve this?

how large do you need your numbers? I could whip up another font header which you could substitute for the 10x16 one in the current firmware.

That is basically what I am trying to do. For me I'm scaling an analog signal to a digital range and displaying that on the screen. I came up with my own code to display these numbers using full character blocks but I am currently looking at SummoningDark's code (see link above) but I need to convert my own sprites. If I figure it out I'll let you know.

Thanks, I received my BusPirate and cable today. I will take a look at the tutorial you suggested. Looking to use your firmware - need to setup 10 bigger sprites (0-9). Currently I coded a work around using 5 lines, 3 positions, and an invalid character that displays a filled block to make bigger numbers. It is a bunch of code that I could do without.

you need something that can program AVR's. I use a BusPirate, but there are many options. googling avr programmer should bring up plenty of hits. There are six unpopulated pads on the board over the microcontroller, they are the programming pins. I forget the layout but i'm pretty sure is it a standard pattern that sparkfun uses. There is a tutorial on programming avr's here http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/93
 hopefully this will get you going.

Hey sparkfun, I was wondering if there is any timing requirements between the (0x7c) command and any write after words? (Ex: Running the demo code: WriteUART1(0x7c); WriteUART1(0x04);)… I have a PIC32 i'm using the glcd with, and i'm referencing the arduino example code to make up my own code for the pic, just wanted to know if I should have any sort of delay statemnt inbetween these writes. thanks!

Hey E.Mk,
 I am attempting to run your code with my Pololu Orangutan SVP-1284 MCU. I am coding in the AVR environment so I obviously had to make minor adjustments to your code, though I am still getting errors. I admit that I am the most extreme novice when it comes to coding, but my main goal is to get my GLCD to display 4 digits, each of which 1" tall. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 Thank you and have a great day.

I purchased one of the 128x64 displays along with the serial backpack to be included on my robot which is operated by the Orangutan SVP MCU by Pololu. I am the most extreme novice when it comes to coding. My question is, what all functions must I include in my code if I simply wish for my screen to display 4 digits, each of which is 1" tall?

You can try my firmware. It has support for two fonts, and you can switch back and forth with a simple command. By default, one is the original 5x8 and one is a double size 10x16, but utilities are included to make your own fonts if you choose. http://serialglcd.sourceforge.net/

I ordered one of these for a project at work. I'm using the arduino platform and have done a few simple work-around projects with them here at work.
 When writing text to this, how hard is it to change the sizing? I'm wanting a big 4 digit number display with some smaller text below it. Will I have to create the numbers individually with draw functions? Or is there code to make the font larger?

Thanks to RobertC. we were able to deduce the problem - apparently there was something wrong with the NSS installation on my set up.
 I re-installed NSS library and now everything works!
 The following sample sketch WORKS on my Arduino Pro 328 + LCD

 #include [NewSoftSerial.h]
 NewSoftSerial LCD(2,3);
 void setup()
 {
 LCD.begin(115200);
 }

 {
 LCD.print("test");
 delay(2000);
 }

I used the most recent at the time. It was probably similar. I've used it for many applications since then and it's always been very reliable. Yes, you will get noise coming across the lines when uploading code, this is normal. However, once code is up there, you can just unplug everything, then boot the system up with power (not USB) and it should be fine.
 The library doesn't really need to be 'set up'. You just define the tx and rx pins, and then the baud rate, and you're good.

Hey RobertC,
 I used a stripped down version of the source code from NCWP, as well as a few tutorials I found on the forums() - the problem seems to be that the digital pins are noisy or something. As soon as the Arduino starts up, the LCD goes nuts(bars/weird gibberish fill the screen)
 I used the LCD+wires on a different MCU and that worked fine.
 Also tried using Arduino Pro Mini 328 - got the same result. Since using the hardware TX pin works, I am thinking that this is either a NSS issue or I didn't set up the library correctly?
 Which version of NSS are you using? I used the latest from the arduiniana site (http://arduiniana.org/NewSoftSerial/NewSoftSerial10c.zip)
 I heard from someone from the SparkFun IRC that NSS is wonky and apparently not reliable?
 Thanks,
 E.Mk
 P.S. - BTW, excellent NCWP tutorial!!

I used newsoftserial just fine. you should be able to use NSS with this, I have another project I just started working on yesterday that uses this same screen, and it works just fine. Are your rx/tx pins messed up? what's not working for you?

So, I've been having THE most difficult time getting this to work with an Arduino Pro 328 (the same referenced in the NCWP under tutorial). The culprit seems to be the NewSoftwareSerial library.
 After recommendation of the good people at the SparkFun IRC, this LCD works under the following setup:
 * Mac OS X 10.6
 * Arudino 022
 * Tools->Board->Arduino Duemilanove or Nano w/ ATMega328
 * Arduino Pro 328
 * LCD RX -> TX(1) on Arduino
 the following sketch works;
 void setup()
 {
 Serial.begin(115200);
 }
 void loop()
 {
 clearScreen();
 delay(1000);
 Serial.print("HI!");
 delay(5000);
 }
 void clearScreen()
 {
 Serial.print(0x7C,BYTE);
 Serial.print(0x00,BYTE);
 }
 maybe the author of NCWP can shed some light into why NSS doesn't seem to work correctly?

I had a lot of problems when I first bought this, but I finally got a working backpack thanks to SummoningDark's firmware.
 I would suggest anyone that buys this to load the firmware instead of spending hours hitting your head against the wall.
 Here is the link
 http://serialglcd.sourceforge.net/
 It fixes the issues with slowness, flipped Y axis, the erase function not working and others.
 I hope that Sparkfun can adopt this as the official firmware.

I may be missing something, but I've read this thread a number of times and I don't see where to get the new Sparkfun firmware. I thought all my problems were that the display was bad, but after reading the notes about needing additional voltage (over the 5v arduino or usb leads I've been using) and the firmware, I'm optimistic I might actually be able to use this. Can someone point me to where to get the new SFE firmware?

I have been examining some strange behaviour I am seeing with these devices such as unintentional dimming of the backlight, strange characters displayed, and tripping of the reset circuit.
 I tracked the problem down to a sudden jump in current consumption from 20mA to 200mA (backlight off, 7V supply) when writing chars to the last row of the display. The current consumption remains at 20mA when writing X's to the LCD, until I reach the last row.. Software bug?
 Overall I am impressed with price and how easy these serial LCDs are to work with. I figure a software modification might fix this? (These LCDs came with software edited on 5/11/10)

This display would be a LOT better if the refresh rate was not so low. Perhaps Sparkfun could use a better/ faster microcontroller in a future upgrade? Overall, it is not to bad of a device..

Voltage levels. I kludged up the "normal" one-transistor level converter to take the PC's TX at RS232 levels to the backpack's RX at TTL levels out of parts I had at hand and it seems to work okay. Other than some of the complaints made above about slow response, etc.

Are you sure you aren't sending a 'carriage return' or 'enter' or something after each character?

For the moment, I'd like to send command strings to this from a PC. I've configured a serial port for 115,200 baud, 8N1. Something is clearly getting through, as the display adds a "character" for each keystroke. The character that gets displayed has no obvious correlation with the character I send, though. I can think of a number of things that could cause problems: voltage levels, slew rate (given test clip connectivity), subtle timing errors. Has anyone had any luck doing this?

I think I voided my warranty, though it wouldn't surprise me to hear SFE pledge to still support it (I think they like you to do stuff like this :) )…
 I soldered a 4 wire ribbon cable directly to the back and then laid it face down on a piece of wax paper. I covered the back with a few pieces of fiberglass tape slathered in epoxy. Let it dry, flipped it over and filled the cavities and covered the screen with epoxy. It will have a piece of UV resistant Lexan between it and sunlight. Anyway, it still works fine even when totally submerged in water.
 Previous caveats by others still apply - if you throw more than lightweight graphics at it, it may have issues. It can reset to 115k pretty easily (in my startup code, I set it back to 115k every time and then set my baud rate). But for a simple text screen that can handle a few dials or other simple graphics, it is hard to beat at this price. Knowing it can be "ruggedized" makes it an even better deal.

If you are doing animations, The firmware I wrote for this device might help you. it has a sprite functionality that would let you place small images on the screen with a short command(6 bytes). that way you could quickly change the graphics while sending minimal data. the default code is compiled for 8 16x16 sprites, but that can be changed if you re-compile it.

Concerning the baud rate - why default to such a high speed when the device writes so slowly? The screen write speed is fine for my purposes, but the default baud rate that is easily reset is an issue. I have mine sharing a serial port with a GPS. It would really be nice if I could disable the reset to 115k. The unit is a lot more dependable at 4800 anyway.

I've been moderately pleased with this device.
 I mostly got this for it's text abilities; it has a lot more space than most text only LCDs have.
 However, I wanted to see what else I could do, so I tried doing some (simple) animations. The 416 byte buffer on-board makes this a headache. Because the TX line is unused on this unit, there is no flow control at all, which means you have to guess the rate of drawing on the device and slow down the transmission of the commands accordingly in the (client) software.
 Here's my Python code that I wrote to control this device, it includes the appropriate client side buffering you need if you're planning on doing any animation:

Just got one of these 'working' with an Arduino board today, just bought from SparkFun last week. Here's what I found:
 1. They're not kidding about the voltage requirement being 6 or 7 VDC, Running this on 5V seems to result in significant backlight and contrast variations.
 2. The box function claims to take 5 parameters, two x/y coordinates and a byte to indicate black or clear pixels according to the datasheet; however in reality the function only takes 4 parameters; the fifth one is sent to the screen as text output. (Verified in driver source code)
 3. Although the line function does take 5 parameters (2 pairs of x/y and a set or clear byte), it appears to not correctly interpret the clear command; I seem to be unable to 'clear' a line of pixels using the line command
 4. It turned out to be very easy to overrun the controller with data; liberal application of delay() was required to keep everything moving
 Needing just 1 output pin to address the display is a major plus, dealing with the firmware issues on the backpack is a pain.
 Niels.

I am trying to use this with a Picaxe 28x1, but I can't get it to display anything but black boxes witch are blinking. I'm new to microcontrollers and Lcd's and it is very confusing to match together all the required information on how to get it work.
 I run my Picaxe at 4Mhz. What baud rate and
 polarity of the signal should I use? (do I need to make some kind of circuit to switch the serial signal???)

Wanted to update the information I provided because its wrong. I realized that if you put any data into the LCD before it enters the while() loop, it will default to 115200 and show that. The only way to avoid that is to wait 1.5sec (for me).
 Fireether on LCD-09351 - SparkFun Serial Graphic LCD 128x64 Fireether urn:uuid:e8668bfa-3a52-ef4e-8b04-23d9e1905101 2010-08-31T18:23:05-06:00
(Continued from above, due to character limit)
 3.) I noticed that nobody on here mentioned how long to wait after the LCD powers on to start sending data. I looked at the code for the board and figured out that its roughly 2554ms (according to code) before it enters its while loop and starts getting input. However if you don't send data within (estimate) 10-20ms of power on, it will show the baud rate. I waited 1000ms, and that worked for me. Keep in mind that it will vary for you - it takes time for your controller to start up and so forth before it gets to the point where it'll start "waiting" for the display to be ready as well.
 I'll post if I have anything else to share.

Just wanted to leave some tidbits about this.
 1.) I'm using 5V for my entire circuit. I saw that the 6V pin goes to a voltage regulator. Solution? Instead of connecting the VDD on the 4 pin header to 6v, I connected the 5V hole on the other side of the board (left side) directly to 5v supply. Now it works fine without needing 6v. This bypasses the regulator, but if you want to be safe - could permanently disable it.
 2.) A bug: When you draw a box and you draw it near the edge of the LCD, it could go into an internal loop. I'm not quite sure why it does this, but try drawing a box from 0,0 to 20,20 or so. You'll notice that everything on the display will get more faint, like its continuously refreshing the display - even though I'm drawing it once. I got around this by using lines instead, but I noticed that its very sensitive about certain elements near its boundaries - i.e. X=0, Y=0, or X=128 Y=64 or any combination. I'll be happy to try and replicate this bug, but wanted to tell anybody that has the issue - just use lines. Or move your box away from the boundary.

I'm using mine with a 3.3v microchip dspic, and it works fine. just make sure your micro pins are 5v tolerant if you want to do communication from the LCD back to the micro. If necessary you could make a voltage clamping circuit with a 3.3v zener and a resistor.

I've upgraded my unit to the new Sparkfun firmware, but it appears that two vertical bands in the LCD display are not getting addressed. Has anyone else seen this?
 I'm running the demo code and when it prints out the alphabet, characters are split where the unit seems to skip past the "dead" bands. Characters aren't missing, they are split across the non-functional areas. Here's a picture.

I have written some alternate firmware for this display. you can get it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/serialglcd/
 some notes tho, the numbers for some of the commands are different, so you'll have to update any code that sends commands. Text acts the same, except for CR/LF are now supported. There are also some new graphics functions. they are all documented in the README. Hope this is useful.

I flashed the new code last night, and it seems a little better, but I'm still surprised at how slow the unit is at rendering text. I can literally see it printing out the text, character by character. It can do maybe 2-3 lines per second. Is this what everyone else is seeing?
 In contrast, my 20x4 line displays can render the entire LCD in probably a tenth of a second ( you can barely see it ). This is my first foray into graphic LCD's, and if this is normal then set me straight. ;)

Hi,
 I bought it recently, and noticed that the on-board regulator is getting pretty hot even at 6V input. I searched for the data sheet of the regulator and I was surprised to see that the regulator is 150mA, but the LCD on max brightness uses more than 200mA. I haven't measured the exact temperature, but I can't hold my finger when its hot, so I guess its not very healthy for the regulator. At 50% brightness, the current is exactly 150 mA and the regulator is only warm, so I guess that would be the max brightness I am gonna use.
 I also want to ask is it possible to program the on board atmega 168 without removing the chip? If yes, then what kind of connection, programmer etc to use?
 Thanks in advance

i got this LCD back in january, and i have to admit i was pretty unsatisfied. i've even been considering desoldering the backpack and just running it with the digital I/O's. well i just flashed the update and i let me be the first to say GREAT job! i'd spent so many hours fidgeting with delays to try to get things to display properly without erroneous lines and miscommunications, which never really succeeded, but now the screen catches all the sent bytes with 625?s delays and actually draws to the screen without me watching the line move pixel by pixel. i might buy another one now(!)
 to those who haven't flashed their old LCD's yet, just read the Makefile and follow the instructions down to 'make program'…if you're on a mac you should know by now to go down and remove the AVRDUDE_PORT entries. it's just programming an ATMega168; don't be scared, it's worth it

Hey, this unit seems to be extremely liberal with the "any character received at 115200 baud during the splash screen resets it to 115200".
 My LCD repeatably resets to 115200 under totally awesome circumstances which is relaxing and not annoying at all! Super fun unit!

I've been having trouble with the Screen resetting when I try to move objects that I've drawn on the screen. It will reset after a couple of seconds some times sooner. I'm using the serial com of an HCS12 @ 38400 baud and the backpack vcc is at ~7V. Everything is has a common ground too. I've also tried varying delays before sending the commands too redraw the screen and turning off the back light.

I am running into performance issues with the 124x64 serial LCD.
 The LCD responds slowly! Even when only drawing a single line accost the screen, one can see the line start at the left and proceed slowly across to the other side. I would say it takes about 100 ms to draw.
 I am running the pack at 9V with a very low backlight setting. And its plugged directly into my Arduino TX/RX.
 Can someone tell me if this is the expected performance? I was hoping to get the same performance that I saw in the UV demo for the 160x128 serial LCD.
 Thank you,

Its just picking up noise. switch to a lower baud and make sure that your uC and LCD share a common ground. Worked for me.

I've been playing with this for a while and am starting to think there might be a problem with the backpack. I seem to get a an endless stream of random characters and symbols showing up on the screen. Also the potentiometer is very sensitive i.e. if I tap it I wont be able to see any of the streaming randomness.
 So far I havnt been able to get it to do anything by sending the commands ('|' (command)). I've tried with the serial coms on my HCS12 microDragon, and my Boarduino boards.
 Does this sound like I have a bad backpack?

For the folks that are having troubles with the flickering, this is a very simple explanation. The data sheet says very plainly that the unit operates from between 6-7 vdc. The Arduino only supplies 5 vdc if you are using the regulated voltage. Therefore the display is probably being starved for power. I added a dedicated 7 volt regulator and those problems went away.
 If you are using the serial pack at 115200 baud then you better be sure to have very good wiring between the Arduino and the display. At that baud rate the bit times get very short and if there is any interference or line capacitance then the rise/fall times are going to be all wrong. Try slowing it down some and see if the problems go away.

While this was definitely easy to setup and get text printed, I have to agree with comments already posted and that I am VERY disappointed.
 It's a nice big screen, but the back light blinks during writes, and the contrast fades as you write data to it.
 Additionally, if I draw circles too fast or or mix commands or look at it cross eyed, it resets and prints garbage.
 Unless I'm printing text to it or setting one pixel at a time, this is VERY unstable.
 Very disappointed.

Another warning - the firmware contains some serious bugs which makes the display almost completely unusable (unless you are just sending characters and no commands, e.g. set location etc)

I purchased one of these displays last week for an Arduino Pro project I have been working on and it was been a dream to work with. I am using this display with the NewSoftSerial library but it only works reliably at 9600bps through software serial. With Sparkfun's datasheet it is easy to work up a small library of drawing functions to make interfacing with this LCD easier than pie. mmmm pie.

I can't recommend this serial graphic LCD in its current incarnation. There must be something wrong with the serial backpack software, at least when used with this 128x64 display. It is extremely flaky. If you mix graphics and text, eventually it will lose track of the text coordinates and garble the screen. If you print text past the end of the screen, it doesn't wrap back around like the documentation claims; it flickers the backlight madly. These things just shouldn't happen…
 Also, the documentation has several errors:
 As previously mentioned, the commands for setting X and Y coordinates are 0x18 and 0x19, respectively, NOT 0x17 and 0x18 as listed in the documentation.
 Setting reverse mode (e.g. light text on dark background) is 0x12, NOT 0x18 as listed in the documentation (this should be obvious from the above).
 The command for drawing a box only reads 4 parameters (x1, y1, x2, y2), not 5 as claimed in the manual. The draw/erase parameter is omitted and hard-coded as 1 (draw). If you send a 5th parameter, it will be printed as text (a blank space or so somewhere).

Discovered an important problem. The datasheet says use 0x17 and 0x18 for setting X and Y position. That is wrong. I had to look at the source code (thank you for providing it) and it is actually 0x18 for X and 0x19 for Y.
 For confirmation check main.c line 527. It looks for 24 (hex 0x18) and 25 (hex 0x19). The Datasheet says to use 0x17 and 0x18 on page 3.
 Also it should be pointed out that 0,0 is the bottom left corner. X counts from the left but Y counts from the bottom. 0,63 is the upper left hand corner. Not a big deal but it's useful info.
 Thank you for providing the source code!

Just got two of these in today. Very easy to setup and use with an arduino. I highly recommend these for someone who wants a b/w graphical LCD without any hassles. Just provide pwr, gnd, and connect the arduino RX to the LCD TX and vice versa.
 Example sketch:
 void setup()
 {
 Serial.begin(115200);
 //Change backlight value
 Serial.print(0x7C,BYTE); // cmd
 Serial.print(0x02,BYTE); // brightness
 Serial.print(0x40,BYTE); // value between 0-100
 //Run the built in demo
 Serial.print(0x7C,BYTE); // cmd
 Serial.print(0x04,BYTE); // demo
 }
 void loop() {}

Does come in red backlight?
 I guess I could just through in a red gel on it, but it would be nice for my project to have it in black background and red graphics.
 Otherwise, I ll have to stick with the 2x16 panel.
 When do you expect to have it on your inventory?

Guys,
 I think you need to take a look at the sample source code for the serial graphic backpack. While perhaps somewhat amusing to some, I think there are some test versions of main.c in the zip file that are not appropriate for a commercial company to be distributing.
 In the bigger picture, I think people probably don't need access to anything but the latest version of the code anyway.
 Ideally it would be nice to put the code under source control like CVS or SVN and let users download the latest version as well as see the change log.

Cabin living in the BWCA forever.
Jul 11 2014
Utopia – an imagined world where everything is perfect. It may be impossible to achieve, but it sure is thrilling to think about a society where relaxing is a day job, chocolate doesn't make you fat and everybody is happy. Well, maybe that's just my version of Utopia, but that's exactly the point. Everyone imagines a different way to achieve the "perfect society."
This fall, Fox is debuting a new reality TV show, Utopia, where ordinary people will spend a year creating a community together based on their perceptions of a perfect society. With characters ranging from the most religious to strict atheists, to partiers and scholars, it seems like a recipe for total chaos. But I can't say it doesn't sound intriguing.
Since we won't know the fate of their so-called "Utopian" society for at least a year, we want to know, in exactly six words, what is your version of a perfect world?
For me, it's:
Leave the six-word description of your Utopia and you could be the lucky winner of a $5 Starbucks gift card. It won't help create your perfect society, but it will buy you a cup of coffee and coffee makes everything better.

I've decided that I'd like to try to cosplay the DmC reboot version of Dante, since it turns out that my face and hair are uncannily similar to his,
We'll try not to hold that against you...
Just kidding! Most of us are old-school series fans (hence most of the discussion being about classic Dante), so we were duly horrified when they rebooted it and changed the character. But of course you're welcome to cosplay whichever version you like, and we'll do our best to help out.
I've done a few much simpler cosplays in the past, but nothing nearly this complex, so I'm not really sure where to get started. The jacket is the most difficult part, but the closest pattern I've been able to find is the Simplicity Matrix jacket. Does anyone have any advice for a beginner?
I've used the Simplicity Matrix pattern for a couple of things (though it's been a long time). From what I remember, that pattern is actually built more like a tuxedo jacket than an overcoat. It has princess seams in the back and a seam where the skirt attaches at the waist, so it ends up with a very tailored silhouette and an A-line skirt. It would be a LOT of work to modify that into reboot!Dante's coat.
What you're probably looking for is a basic four-panel coat without much tailoring. Looking at the way the coat hangs, it doesn't have much built-in shape; there's a tiny bit of flare at the bottom, but there's really no fitting at the waist, so the side seams should run pretty straight along the body. Most of the detailing on the coat can be purely cosmetic -- seams added to create the appropriate lines (like the ones down the front) that aren't structural.
I'd suggest going to the local fabric store and looking through the pattern books for single-breasted overcoats, or even look at women's fashion jackets (more variety than the men's section). Find a pattern that doesn't intimidate you (i.e., NOT made by Vogue) and then adjust length/lapels/details accordingly.
Maybe something like one of these...?
pattern 1
(minus pockets and skirt length)
pattern 2
(the middle one -- minus pockets, plus skirt flare)
pattern 3
(far left -- minus bust darts, plus lapels. This is a really easy pattern to mod; I use it for all kinds of things.)
Reboot!Dante's coat also has a hood (built into the lapels... who designed this silly thing?), which you're probably going to have to borrow from another pattern or draft yourself (hoods are pretty easy to figure out).
Good luck! ^_^

NEW YORK (AP) — St. Jude Medical Inc. may have difficulty getting its implantable migraine treatment approved after the device did not meet its main goal in a clinical trial, an analyst said Friday.
The St. Paul, Minn., company is studying neurostimulation therapy as a treatment for migraines. In that type of therapy, patients are implanted with a device that sends electrical pulses to electrodes in the brain. The devices are used to treat chronic pain.
St. Jude said Thursday that its Genesis neurostimulation device, which works on the occipital nerve, reduced pain and days with headaches. But similar numbers of Genesis patients and placebo patients reported a 50 percent decrease in pain.
Because the improvement was not statistically significant, the study did not meet its primary goal. St. Jude said significantly more Genesis patients did report at least a 40 percent reduction in pain.
The company enrolled 157 patients in the trial. On average, they had headaches 26 days per month. During the 12 weeks of the study, St. Jude said patients who received the Genesis implant had seven fewer headache days per month, compared to one less day for the placebo group.
Morgan Keegan analyst Jan Wald said Genesis can reduce headaches, but the Food and Drug Administration may not approve it because of the study failure. He said not all the patients were happy with Genesis: 24 percent of them said they would not get the implant again, and 12 percent either would not recommend it to others, or were not sure they would recommend it.
St. Jude said 51 percent of the Genesis patients were satisfied with their headache relief and 67 percent reported an improvement in quality of life. In the placebo group, 19 percent of patients were satisfied with their headache relief and 17 percent said they quality of life had improved.
Wald said St. Jude may have used too many surveys and created too many different measurements in order to prove the implant works, as studies of drugs and devices that treat pain can be subject to interpretation.
"These trials are notoriously hard to design, and it seems that St. Jude overreached when it should have played a more conservative game," he wrote. He kept an "Outperform" on St. Jude shares.
St. Jude Medical stock fell 2.6 percent to $47.40 on Thursday. The shares have traded between $34.25 and $54.18 in the last year.

South African tourism stung by anti-immigrant violence
By Stella Mapenzauswa
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa's tourism industry is likely to take a hit following a wave of xenophobic attacks this month, a setback for the country which has worked hard to clean up its image as a hub for violent crime.
Seven people have been killed in the attacks, which mostly targeted African immigrants. Police and soldiers have brought the unrest under control but the damage may already have been done for the tourism sector, which supports one in 12 jobs.
Unemployment -- officially running at 25 percent, but which economists say is much higher -- is one factor blamed for the attacks on foreigners.
The successful hosting of the 2010 World Cup helped improve South Africa's reputation for violence but graphic images of armed gangs attacking immigrants and looting foreign-owned shops have revived fears that may put off potential visitors.
"(The attacks) are damaging to the brand that we are marketing, damaging to the reputation of the country," said Thulani Nzima, CEO of South African Tourism.
"We've always marketed the country on the basis of the warmth of its people, the welcoming nature of the people, so when things like this happen, it depletes that currency that we've punted out there. So of course we're very worried."
Tourism has emerged as South Africa's fastest-growing sector and is now the third largest contributor to GDP, helped in part by a weaker rand currency which has made it a relatively cheap destination for international visitors. The government hopes it will generate nearly 500 billion rand a year by the end of the decade and create 225,000 new jobs.
South Africa's government says tourists should feel safe, noting that the violence only affected a small portion of the country, but many remain unconvinced. Continued...

Europe: Frankel going beyond a mile in Juddmonte International Stakes
For all he has accomplished in his unbeaten 12-race career, Frankel has only run two distances – seven furlongs and a mile.
That will change Wednesday, when the 4-year-old Frankel starts at a middle distance for the first time in the Group 1, 1 5/16-mile Juddmonte International Stakes at York, England.
While the distance may be different, other trends are the same: Frankel will be a very heavy favorite. As of Monday, Frankel was 1-8 with British bookmakers to win the Juddmonte. The race is sponsored by Khalid Abdullah, the owner of Juddmonte Farms and the owner of Frankel.
Trained by Sir Henry Cecil, Frankel has raced a mile in his last seven starts, all Group 1 wins. This year, he has made three starts, winning the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury in May, the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, and the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood on Aug. 1.
In the Sussex, Frankel was the 1-20 favorite and faced just three rivals. He stalked a stablemate who set the pace for the first five furlongs, took the lead with a quarter-mile remaining, and won by six lengths with ease.
"He has grown up a lot mentally and took it all like a true professional," Cecil said on his website after the Sussex. "The idea was to be as easy as we could with him as it was a warm-up to the Juddmonte International at York."
Already considered one of history's finest milers, Frankel will merit respect among Europe's middle-distance runners should he live up to expectations in the Juddmonte. Tom Queally, Frankel's regular rider, has the mount Wednesday.
The Juddmonte will be Frankel's first start at York.
Cecil has three starters in the Juddmonte, including pacesetter Bullet Train and multiple stakes winner Twice Over, who was third in the 2009 Breeders' Cup Classic at Santa Anita. Farhh, second in the Sussex Stakes, and St Nicholas Abbey, winner of the BC Turf at Churchill Downs last fall, also are part of a field of nine.
St Nicholas Abbey, trained by Aidan O'Brien, is the biggest threat to Frankel. A 5-year-old, he won the Group 1 Coronation Cup at Epsom in June and was third in the Grade 1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot last month.
◗ Earlier on the York program, Noble Mission, Frankel's 3-year-old full brother, starts in the Group 2 Great Voltigeur Stakes for 3-year-olds over 1 1/2 miles. The Great Voltigeur is a prep to the Group 1 St. Leger Stakes at Doncaster on Sept. 15.
Wow! What a great race. He is THE one - dominant and still undefeated. None were close to him at the wire.
I applaud.
Wow! What a performance.
Give credit where due. Frankel is the dominant horse to beat in any race. He hasn't lost one yet!
People saying he needs to come to America to prove himself are wrong. Did Secretariat, Man O' War or Citation go oversees to prove themselves? Does that mean they aren't great? Europeans invented the sport and we copied it. Just like Americand invented basketball and Europe copied it. Think about European basketball fans saying LeBron must go to Europe and play to prove himself. That's what you sound like when you say Frankel must come to America to prove himself. If anything American horses should have to prove themselves in Europe, just like how European basketball players must prove themselves in America. Not many American horses prove themselves oversees.
To suggest that a horse that has not yet won beyond a mile is the greatest of all time is absurd. This is a wonderful and talented colt. But a cream puff campaign will never propel him above the likes of Ribot and Dr. Fager.
Seen him run on the television a few times and while he does look brilliant when running, if doesn't run across the pond and take on Americas best, he won't be "The Best Ever" in my mind!! Just my opinion, but come to Santa Anita for Breeders Cup and show us why we should call you "The Best"!
I'm picturing what 'Peb' may have done for this race,Top Hat and Tails for the Wabbit too?
1 & 5/16 mile is a lot further than one mile. 1-8 favorite under these circumstances. Don't cry when he looses.
If he doesn't come to America for all to see, he will disappear from the casual observer just like Sea the Stars has.

New evidence shows that laws adopted across the country that phase in driving privileges for teenagers have substantially cut fatal car crashes.
Three related studies funded by the National Institutes of Health showed that the safety initiatives, known as graduated licensing programs, have reduced the rate of fatal crashes among teens ages 16 and 17 by 8 percent to 14 percent.
The medical research agency, in a news release, noted that graduated licensing laws were adopted by all 50 states and the District of Columbia over the last 15 years.
It said that the new research showed that the greatest reductions in young driver crashes came in states that adopted graduated driver licensing laws along with other restrictions. One example: laws requiring forfeiture of a driver's license as a penalty for youths below the age of 21 caught possessing or using alcohol on the road.
Graduated licensing programs typically bar newly licensed drivers for a specified period of time from doing such things as driving late at night or driving with teenage passengers in the car. The drivers in many cases don't receive full licenses until age 18.
The new studies, conducted by researchers at the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation in Calverton, Md., were based on statistics drawn from a national database on fatal crashes maintained by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The studies build on earlier research that also credited graduated licensing with reducing deadly accidents involving teen drivers.
The new research was published in the journal Traffic Injury Prevention.
A report released in January found that, in 2008, 4,358 people were killed in crashes in which a teen driver was behind the wheel.
