Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
I think that's a great tutorial on how to interface with the LCDs.
Oh man I love reading datasheets. The longer, the better, because that means more features, or less ambiguity. Maybe itβs because Iβm a firmware engineer, but I love making different pieces of hardware talk to each other.
For someone with a programming background and some physics background, this is an excellent video and introduction to electronics programming. I love that you stopped to explain things thoroughly throughout. The days of filming and editing were very helpful!
Only if you did using a butterfly.
Of course it counts, programming boiled to such a basic or primitive level means wiring stuff together, with switches if you are cool... then you start adding more switches, you create gates, and end up with transistors and microprocessors...
Doesn't the chip on the display class as a form of microcontroller?
I can appreciate this. We used to have a computer system that we had to maintain proficiency in booting in binary by flipping toggle switches, in case the Mylar tape ever failed. The procedure took over 3 hours. This was in the 1980's.
Finally, a REAL programmer.
That's the old school way. It very much counts as programming, my dude. Nice work!
(Look into the very first computers that were programmed by re-wiring rather than re-storing memory.)
