OLED with winamp wiring.

Raiker — Mon, 28 Feb 2005 23:31:20 -0000

I have a 20x2 OLED that works perfectly under windows
and somewhat with
lcdproc.
However, with lcd4linux, it doesnt work at all mostly.
All that shows on the display when using lcd4linux are
various characters
all over
the display.

I've used this http://www.fractronics.com/lcdcontrast.gif
wiring.
I belive it's 8-bit winamp wiring.

This is my displaysetup in lcd4linux.conf:
Display HD44780-20x2 {
Driver 'HD44780'
Model 'generic'
UseBusy 1
Port '/dev/parport0'
Size '20x2'
Wire {
RW 'GND'
RS 'AUTOFD'
ENABLE 'STROBE'
ENABLE2 'GND'
GPO 'GND'
}
}

Output from cmd:
./lcd4linux -Fvv
Version 0.10.0-RC2 starting

I've tried with both 0.10 RC1 and RC2, same result.
