Wow..... What a piggin struggle... I thought it was the SPI mode at first as it wouldn't work.
The problem ended up in the fonts library... select case will not accept a string object even though only one character is sent...
I have a lil file called ianstest.bas and a new font file... play with it first then you can copy it in as you need.
If you look at my "dospi()" function it has to wait for the SPI to be unbusy... This write the MSG to the screen.
Hi I,
Thank you, it works
I, plus a friend of mine, who is a better CODEr than me, have spent weeks almost getting there.
Even though you posted the BYTE to 5110 approx 5 years ago, I've only just returned to it, as now it is needed. It will avoid radio link clashes. I use a radio to computer terminal to feedback of what's happening.
This is the final peripheral, so once we've learnt how your CODE works, we will integrate it into the FULL program, then a bit of tidying (A week or so) and the project will be ready to have the RC program written into it. This phase is like having a brilliant tool and learning how to play with it.
The original idea is to radio control a Tricopter, for videos, but on the occassions, that I think about what it could do, the mind boggles.
My friend who's helping me, is wheelchair bound and a radio Ham, as I am, and sometimes before he's been helped out of bed, he is unable to use his radio, but with radio control, with the feedback it has, should be able to have a dashboard at the side of his bed, or other places.
Cheers, thanks again, C
