LCD plugin supporting more than 70 display types (now with full graphics support!!!) (7 Viewers)

[JoeDalton]

I just put a new version online.
This version should be able to detect resume from hibernation or standby.

I also created a separate DLL for my plugin, instead of integrating it in a patched ProcessPlugins.dll.

Please read very carefully through the included readme file before installing this version. If you forget to restore the original ProcessPlugins.dll that was delivered with MP, you'll end up with 2 versions of my plugin.

I also detected that sometimes MP didn't start my plugin although it was enabled in the configuration. I hope this problem is fixed now.

**EDIT**
I uploaded an updated version of the T6963C Test program.
Can you check whether the position works now?

It's good, the position works!
Thanks

Hi JoeDalton,

I love your plugin.
As second display I have a Hitachi LCD SP14Q002 (320x240) and i would like to use it with MP.

Normaly I use this LCD with LCDHype http://www.lcdhype.de.vu/
Is it possible that your plugin will support LCDHype ?
In LCDHype you can configure a Preview Output so you can test the plugin without having the special LCD.
If you will support LCDHype iwill do any tests you need.

Thanks Thomas

Thomas,

As far as I know, that SP14Q002 is the name of your display and not of its controller...

What controller does your LCD have, and what's its interface?
If it is a T6963C controller connected to your parallel port, I have good news for you, as I'm about to put a new version online that supports this controller...

Sorry, putthis post in the wrong place, should have been here.

Joe,

Any chance you could add support for the iMonVFD which comes with the Silverstone -M cases. Currently uses a USB Driver.

Soundgraph have released a API for it, download from:
http://www.soundgraph.com/iMON/technote/read.pl?board=e_download&nnew=2&y_number=3

The API was written in C++

Is this something you'd be interested in doing ?

I'm currently having a look at the source C# code you release with the External Display plugin, but as I'm pretty new to C# (and C++) so it will take me some time to understand whats going on. If you (or anyone else for that matter) could add this in before I learn how (don't hold your breath) this plugin would be a killer... well for me anyway, since I'm planning on using a Silverstone -M case for my HTPC.

Cheers.

Thanks in advance.

Flipit,

I'll have a look at that code.
As I did with ArnaudCoco I will first try to make a little program to test the different display features I need.

I expect you to test it, and give me feedback. This is the only way for me to put in support for other display types, as I don't have a pile of different displays on my desk :wink:

Joe,

Your on.. no problem doing the testing... it's the coding that's slowing me down :wink:

I'll get the iMonVFD in the next couple of days and get it ready for testing.

Anything you need to know from me before hand :?:

Hi,

@ erisan500 : I think the cantroller is produced by Wallbraun Electronics http://wallbraun-electronics.de/produkte/index.html
I don't know if they sell it direct. Pherhaps you ask here at LCDshop http://tilofranz.net/lcdshop/index.html?d_0006_Grafik_LCD_Set_USB_Anschlus156.htm
if they sell the controller separate. Tilo the guy from the shop is a smart person :wink:

@ JoeDalton : Yes it is the name of the diplay. The controller is a USB Interface. in LCDHype it is called SED 133x. There is a programming interface here : http://www.wallbraun-electronics.de/downloads/LUIse104.zip

Thanks for your Help

Thomas
