Hi,
I have seen a lot of graphic lcd on the market (nokia3310, nokia6100, KS0108,...)
Witch is the best?
Witch is the best language to use them with easy?

You may find this thread interesting. It uses a KS0108 based 128*64 GLCD which are available for less than $20.

Thank you Pommie. Looks Very interresting. I'l try to investigate that.
Yesturday I found some threads speaking about GLCD on mikroElektronika web site forums.
They have nice libraries for graphic lcd in their compilers.

How do you draw pictures and text fonts?

Yes, they have nice libraries for GLCDs and also an editor for bitmaps.
In the main window of the compiler click Tools -> GLCD Bitmap Editor. Supported controllers are: KS0108, T6363, 3310 (PCD8544). Try loading their sample bitmaps.
Have fun

EDIT: typo corrected

I have bought a graphic screen with KS0108 controller. I'll do my tests this weekend on it with mikrobasic. btw I have found a nice discussion on mikroElektronika web site forums https://www.mikroe.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10967 It seems that they have created a tool for drawing big characters.

It seems that they have created a tool for drawing big characters.

As I said, you can use the tool available with the compiler. Have you installed it? you can draw anything you like.

tkx eng1.
I have quoickly installed mikrobasic and I tested the bitmap editor. It's very realistic.
I'll try all that this weekend.

Have you looked at Swordfish https://www.sfcompiler.co.uk/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Swordfish.Modules#GLCD

It has a very good lib of graphical LCD's from the Samsung to S1D13700

And SWright has done a good lot of work with a touch screen follow this thread

You will note that the author of GLCD Font creator did the Swordfish version for free as he loves the compiler so much.

Here's some more links to plugins for GLCD's https://www.sfcompiler.co.uk/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=SwordfishUser.Plugins

Speaking of Swordfish BASIC what ever happened to Grammo?

hi blueroomelectronics
I visited your web site. How do you make 3D pcb rendering? circuits presents very well

They're drawn using Sketchup. There is a free Google Sketchup too.
This regulator can be found free (not my design) but a nice model.

Yet his profile says his last 'visit' was 16th June?, I wonder what they mean?.

I was referring to the 'Last activity', that is the last time you were using the forum. 'Last visit' is the time (when you logged-off, I guess) before your last session, actually the last visit but one.
