Hi I have a product that is small and has a 2 line by 16 character LCD.
It works quite well and I am very familiar with character displays.
I am looking at adding a small Graphics LCD maybe 128 x 65 pixels.
Because it is small and higher resolution I should be able to simulate a 4 line
x 20 character display and also display logos ect.
Would anyone have some code and hardware examples that could get me started?
Do any of the common graphics displays have controllers with built in text
character generator modes? or do they all just treat every pixel as an address
and our c code must do the rest?
Thanks any help appreciated.

Most graphic displays do not have a built in character generator, if you need
one take a look at any T6963 based display... they can do what you need and
there are plenty of driver examples floating around the net..

I have just taught myself how to use the Electronic Assembly EA DOGM132W-5.
Check it out and see if it's something you might use. I haven't done
any logos yet, but I did code for large 2 line display, and small 4 line
display.

I realy like the EA DOGM132W-6 + It should fit my case well and look good.
I will read the data sheet and order a sample to try.
Would you have some of your 4 line character code you could send me to get me started on practical c MSP430 implimentation?
Thanks all for the info it is a great help
