Displaytech 64128n

Using Arduino Displays
1

Hi everyone,
i am new with Arduino, but i understand bit in programming and electronics...
I bought Arduino Due and a 64128n display of Dissplaytech.

Following this post
http://www.javimontero.com/blog/2012/10/displaytech-64128n-st7565-128x64-lcd-in-spi-mode/
i cabled my hw, without chip to reduce the voltage (Due work at 3.3V).

Now i'm trying to run the Hello World example in u8glib library using
U8GLIB_64128N u8g(3, 4, 7, 5,6);
constructor.

The problem it that the display seems not work.
I can't see anything on the display!

Thanks for the help!!!

Hi,
it seems to me that someoften the missing contrast makes all content of the lcd invisible. So be sure that you are using
-the correct pin for contrast ( I see often pin3, but also 4)
-the correct polarisation at contrast pin (some lcd want positve, some negative). Best thing to find it out by datasheet and avoid wrong polarisation.
-the correct voltage. I see everything from +5V to -15V. if you cant find any datasheet, you may try, but I dont know if one can kill his lcd by wrong polarity or voltage. So when trying, use ever a 10k or 20k resistor in serie to limit the current. I use a voltage regulator with adjustable current, so I can the voltage make very 'weak' by setting to a max. of about 10 or 20 mA.

As long as you cant see anything and cant set the contrast from dark to light, you cant be sure if the lcd is showing anything, so try to clear this point first.
Another thing are the many connection variants I see. So be sure that you use the right one for the lib.

Hi
This display has its internal charge pump. It does not require any other voltage than 0V (GND) and 3.3V attached to it.

But the problem is, that U8glib has not been ported to the Due as of now (Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.). I simply do now own this board.

Hi
I have added a pre-release of U8glib on the download page: Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.
This includes support for SW SPI on the Arduino Due.
