Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : MMX with two display panels

I am trying to do something that uses two ILI9341 panels. One of those panels is going to be with static information for most of the time, so my idea is to control them as one, and just multiplex the CS signal through 74LVC1G19 where the actual CS will go to the /E input, and the A input will be another output which will set which panel I will be using. Thus, from MMX's perspective it will be driving a single panel just like it does now. The only problem in this model is that there is no way for me to force a display initialisation when I need it, so I can first initialise both the panels. It seems it is performed only once when the OPTION DISPLAY command is executed. Would there be any chance I request this (forcing display re-initialisation) included in a next version? Thanks |

Not sure if it is implemented but probably is as its in all the other MMBasic versions. Try GUI RESET LCDPANEL Will reinitialise the configured LCD panel. Initialisation is automatically done when the Micromite starts up but in some circumstances it may be necessary to interrupt power to the LCD panel (eg, to save battery power) and this command can then be used to reinitialise the display.

CaptainBoing has a fruitoftheshed page on using Multiple LCD panel displays. I have no idea whether or not it suits your needs. PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |
