anita2R Nice Work!

I plan to look at your code in detail to learn something new about the RPI. I have used the chipKIT UNO32 with a Sparkfun I2C backpack.

How does the 4/8 bit mode stuff come into play over an I2C backpack interface? I thought 4/8 bit mode related to using a 4 or 8 bit parallel interface. This should be handled by the backpack processor.

I think RPI users could be a source of new Perl users. More posts like yours might help this along.

Update: After reading your code it appears that the SainSmart LCD you are using has a much lower level interface than the Sparkfun unit that I used. The Sparkfun backpack hides all of the bit manipulation from the user.

There's never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
