library serdisplib:
description
serdisplib started as a library to drive serial displays with built-in controllers.
beginning with version 1.95 support was added for parallel driven displays. anyhow: the name 'serdisplib' will not change.
beginning with version 1.95 support was added for parallel driven displays. anyhow: the name 'serdisplib' will not change.
at the beginning it was only planned to add support for optrex 323 displays using some patches
to graphlcd, but soon i decided to create a separate library which can be used independently.
an interface-module and some patches are now the glue between graphlcd and the library.
the serial in "serial display" characterises the way of how the data is transferred to the display controller: data is sent bit by bit using a single input line. several (few) other lines are controlling things like timing (clock), data or command, ...
parallel driven displays transfer data using a data-bus (eg. 4, 8, 16-bit wide data-bus) and some signal wires.
version 1.97 introduces support for an USB driven display, version 1.97.6 introduces support for OLED displays
latest version
version 1.97.7
features
- coding language: c
- header files compliant for c++-code
- accessing the output device (parallel, serial port, ...) using
ioctl-calls or direct-IO - each pixel can be set or cleared separately
- optimised data-flow between library and display
- abstract software layer for certain display functions (eg: setting contrast)
- support for colour displays (since version 1.96)
- support for usb-based displays (since version 1.97)
- support for OLED displays (since version 1.97.6)
supported at the moment (serdisplib version 1.97.7)

- any other unix-os supporting
ioctl-calls and devices likeppdev(linux) orppi(freebsd)
(some minor changes and adaptions will be necessary though)
todo
- other interfacing methods (USB, PIC/ATMEL, ...)
- further displays, controllers, ...
call for pictures
if you have pictures showing your displays built using my pages i would be pleased if you could send me some so
that i may put them onto the contribution pages
