Powertip PG 240128-A --T6963C--

Good afternoon everyone! :slight_smile:
First of all...i really apologize for my bad english :roll_eyes:
I found in my garage this LCD: Powertip PG 240128-A of Powertip industries, I have seen from the datasheet that the controller is a Toshiba T6963C ...
the problem is that I can not in any way to control it with Arduino Duemilanove.
I do not know which library is to be used and if there is to adapt it to my LCD monitor ...
I am attaching also the Datasheet: http://www.powertipusa.com/pdf/pg240128a.pdf
I need help ...
Thank you very much. XD XD

It's a graphical LCD so you should start with a GLCD library.

as the interface?

I have the same LCD screen with controller.
It is possible to connect it to an UNO but it'll take up almost every pin.
Here are the library files I used.

http://quasar.gotdns.org/arduino/T6963C_Library.zip

Example on how to use:
#include "T6963.h"
T6963 LCD(240,128,6,32);

Within the setup { }
LCD.Initialize();

Within the loop { }
LCD.writeStringLine(0, "Writing to line 1 of the LCD screen");
delay(2000);
LCD.writeStringLine(1, "Writing to line 2 of the LCD screen");
delay(2000);
LCD.clearText();
delay(2000);

Currently I'm @ work so I can't show you how to connect the pins to the arduino but you could figure it out from the code.

Thanks...but I did not understand how you can connect it to an arduino / duemilanove...can you share an image with links and sample code you use to make it work??
Thanks. :slight_smile:

The sample code is as I posted in my previous message.

The datasheet can be found here.

As for the pin assignments, here's the table to link to the datasheet.

Datasheet / Arduino
1 / Ground
2 / +5v

4 / Analog port 3
5 / Analog port 1
6 / Analog port 0
7 / Digital port 2
8 / Digital port 3
9 / Digital port 4
10 / Digital port 5
11 / Digital port 6
12 / Digital port 7
13 / Digital port 8
14 / Digital port 9
15 / Analog port 2

The backlight is connected with a 10k (if I remember correctly) pot meter.

Pin 19 is connected with some sort of resistance between it.
I can't trace back the other pins since it came soldered with a ribbon cable making a traceback rather difficult.

tomorrow i'm going to make it work...i hope that the screen isn't broken...
do you have any photos of the screen connected to arduino???
Thanks. XD

Also, I forgot some pins in my previous post, I have added them now.

Thanks for the pics...tomorrow i want to make it work XD

Could you get those same pics online again?
I have PG 240128LRU-ATA-K and no idea how to connect it to my Arduino Uno.

Pics are online again. They where on the same server but the domain-name had to be altered.

Dear Ivo Oude Veldhuis
I am not able to access the images, its my request please send them again

Hi redasat.

You need to speak up a bit.
Fardox is over 5 lightyears away, i don't think he'll hear you.
