RFID with uLCD and pic16f88

So let me get this straight. This thing is a color LCD with built in controller, backlight circuitry, microSD socket which is compatible with both low capacity and high capacity cards, AND! it basically has a user programmable microcontroller with 10k of program space and 2 GPIO lines in addition to all the on-board control lines for interfacing with the LCD?

Well, the uSD worked for about a minute. I could read an image off of it and display it. Then it went flaky and I have exactly that same issue as this guy:

Works fine without a uSD inserted. As soon as you insert one (and I've tried 4) the screen goes black.

Great unit, but I wouldn't depend on the SD card.

Is this display sunlight readable?

Hi Guys, in case anybody is looking for Arduino library & example for this screen, I've posted my setup at http://www.rusbaevents.com/valery/Vevents/EMW/code/uLCD_144_VM_library.zip.
Note that I am using an SGC version of the screen (simple software reflash using PmmC loader provided at the manufacturer site). I am using V17 of SGC PmmC.
Love this little display.

After agonizing over the 0.96" screen with nearly the same controller for months and going through all the outdated or dysfunctional libraries available for it, I found one that works with the Uno / 328 and the most recent Arduino IDE. Again, this is all for a slightly different screen, but it is a decent hello world for 4D serial controlled screens.
The library is available at: http://code.google.com/p/arduino-oled/
And I wrote up a basic Oscilloscope sketch for it that includes a trigger feature, it's posted at:

and video of it in action (it's a bit blurry, but my camera is awful)

Just a little note to future users of this display module.
You can use your Arduino Uno to flash uLCD-144(GFX) to uLCD-144(SGC).
You need to upload an sketch to your Arduino with this as the only (setup) code:
pinMode(0, INPUT);
pinMode(1, INPUT);
Then you need to hook up the display's RX to Uno's pin 0, display's TX to Uno's pin 1 and display's RES to Uno's RESET. That's right, RX to RX, TX to TX. You are using the board as a passthrough, you are NOT talking to the Arduino itself.
Now kill the Arduino IDE and start the PmmCLoader.exe, set the COM port and the ROM file, click Load and the RX LED on Uno will start flashing. This is the crucial bit. You need to press the reset button on the Arduino multiple times, VERY quickly. Think clickaclickaclika, not click click click.
You also need to pay attention to what's going on with the PmmCLoader. If it starts uploading the firmware, you STOP pressing the reset button immediately. It will probably take you a few tries to do this, but trust me, it works!

The product page link is wrong; it takes you to the non-serial module. Here is the correct link:
http://www.4dsystems.com.au/prod.php?id=121
There you can find the serial commands

This screen is tiny but awesome. You can reflash it to be GFX or SGC -- with SGC being much easier to use with basic serial commands. Here's a link to more info, particularly on using it with a Netduino:http://forums.netduino.com/index.php?/topic/1027-interfacing-with-the-ulcd-144-mini-lcd-screen/

The datasheet here refers to a rev2 pdf file and the current one on the 4DSystems website refers to a rev3 file.
There is a 'rev3' silkscreened onto the PCB in the picture - can I assume that's what is being shipped out?

Just ordered a new one of these with my free-day funds! my current one is nearly 4 years old, and through general abuse i have several dead pixel rows, but it is definitely a good deal for the money.

Has anyone used this with a parallax propeller chip? I'm still trying to use this with a micro controller and not having much luck.

Am I right that by removing and shorting the reverse-polarity protection diode from VIN, it van operate from a Li-ION battery? (like PRT-00731)<br />

Ok I have got to know...<br />

This LCD has many more features than others on the site, but is MUCH less expensive. Why? What's the catch?

Here is their web site
http://www.4dsystems.com.au/prod.php?id=127
Apparently they don't yet have an Arduino library, but on the page they mention several resources with sample code. There is also what looks like a reasonably complete spec for the command codes.

Could some one point me to a website to hook the LCD to Arduino Duemilanove board.

I've played with this a bit using 4Ds Workshop software. To connect serial, I used SparkFun's FTDI Basic board (5V), and powered the LCD from this board. I couldn't get squat to happen after hooking up power and the TX and RX lines. But it worked fine when I connected the LCD board Reset line to DTR on the FTDI board. I ran through the examples. Some didn't compile, but I fixed them and they worked.
I did this without RTFM, so I would classify it as really easy to use. My only hitch (not connecting the Reset line) was something I figured out in a few minutes by doing what seemed logical. I can't call it idiot proof, but it is idiot resistant...
This is a great display for the money, and I love it. I'm getting more of them.

FirefighterBlu3: is there an actual datasheet for this or just a marketing splash page?
nevermind. apparently i only got the first two pages of the datasheet the first time it downloaded.

is there an actual datasheet for this or just a marketing splash page?

Wow! This looks like a really nice display! Anyone know how difficult programming is?
