Lumex Graphic LCD 128×64 (S12864GSF) + AVR (Atmega32)
I recently bought 2 LCD from jckrers ebay store. I have a good idea for this stuff, but first I need to run several tests. This LCD are fine and use the common KS108 controller.
My first thought was to use the avrlib, so I wired the LCD and started to use avrlib, but I quickly run into issues. In fact, I want to use some icons on, and the avrlib seems to be buggy.
After a little compile/test/run/compile, I remember an old post on a website about KS108 chips. I find it back, it’s on the science prog
This is really great, you can build some custom fonts easily (that’s exactly what i’m looking for)..
Here a couple of pics…
As you can see, I use a ATMega32 (on a futurelec card), a simple pot for the contrast, and the lumex.
I can use a mix of different fonts on the same screen.
And I can even display some pics too :)
Here the famous tux.
I still have to deal with menu and other stuff, this should be a little harder than expected, but will be nice. If somebody know a good library to use on a T6963C, please post a comment..
For users who wants high res pics, you can find them in my gallery (as usual).

Hi,
If you are on linux you have just to use the lcd4linux program but if you are running Windows you can use a standard library in delphi or vb.net like polinLCD or another program like graphlcd.
Try this url : http://lcd4linux.bulix.org/
I used a 320×240 datavision lcd based on a t6963c that work fine ^^
Sorry for my bad english ;)
lcd4linux is a program for linux (which looks great), but I’m looking for a lib to work on a AVR device. That’s it ..
I have a big datavision LCD too, and lcd4linux only use parallel port but something with a USB bus would be fine.
Could you send me some pics of your LCD ?
Bye
