After mirroring the pins for my LCD (and destroying it) I have found a GLCD (think its 64*256) It has a HD61830 controller.. Is this the "standard" one, like HD44780 for alphanumeric LCD?
Also what compiler do you guys recommend for 18F series
Many of the modern glcds have very similar software control methods but I doubt high level libs will allow you to use more than the one specified glcd.
The controller you have is a 8 bit parallel port type, many of todays modern glcds use SPI ports etc so saving many i/o ports - they also typically run at 3.3v
The old KS0108 with its dual controller is still very popular as its well covered in software terms and still uses 5v.
You could spend weeks getting the one you have to run, but if it fails can you get a replacement ?
Think you would be better choosing a newer type of glcd that you can get the software for that will allow you to buy a replacement if needed.
Have a search for Atomsofts work on glds with C etc and this thread for Assembler versions.
