LCD 03 USB-i2c and Software

Postby HiQ » Mon Mar 07, 2011 1:22 pm

please help

Does the LCD 03 when coupled with the USB i2c work with something like LCD smartie,
I would be considering buying one of these if it works. Are there any drivers or so?


Many Thanks In Advance

Hi Chris,

Unfortunately not, you would need to write your own code.

Thanks for the reply,

what is the best prog lang to use with these? I am more familiar with VB but only through Access and I am presently attempting to learn C.

What version of C would you recommend for PC functionality with these LCD's...

Thanks

We used to use Visual C++ V6, but that's no-longer available. We now use C# for our examples, but VB will work just as well.
You could also use the LCD03 in serial mode and connect it to your PC using the S27 module:
