Hi Frank,

What code are you using at the PC end to drive your LCD?

What is the RS232 message format used to connect to the LCD?


Regards,

Neil Wrightson.

Hi Guys
Been doing some work om y xPL-LCD over the weekend and its
taking shape....Have got it talking to xPL ....and im able to configure it
etc....Have just made it the default OSD device for my Exstreamer and
xPLRIONET is sending osd messages to it ;-)).......

Im also displaying the time in the top line  right hand side and have a
recurring event running every minute to update the time..........
xPLRIO was clearing the time whenever a new song started so i have a
Determinator watching
for an OSD message from xPLRIO and i pause for 1/2 second (allow the pic to
display the osd message) and then update the time ;-))

Im now thinking as Mal suggested in having the Menus sent to the lcdosd
(using Determinators)and track the menus using  a global......thats the
theory....if it works the menus are unlimited ........
and all i need to do is send a trig message for each button.....the value
of
the global and the button value will determine which Determinator
runs........

More Soon
