My Duinomite Mega Canview V4 equivalent Project

I got the screen .

Now to figure out i2c in mmbasic and what ports it needs to be connected to...

it does not look that easy as i expected

i expected just a print "text to screen " command....

maybe i better make a new thread for this one.

 

hi lopez

i see a NC and one without NC?

what is that NC for?

i am going to try a duinomite with a external small lcd screen with i2c or maybe better to get a serial screen.
where do i find the latest firmware your using made by JHD

edit
i have found it

ok thats the one i am going to use then

i see when first booting up ( not yet connected to prius ) a config screen.. but that is where it stops..
doi need to press a key on the keyboard to make it go further or is there need for canbus data to make it go to the normal screen with the voltage data? etc

a ok yes i expected this.

i want to use the user button on the duinomite to test withcing phev mode with a hardwired button.

do you think adding this to the code would do that?

--

Do
K$ = Inkey$
If K$ = "q" Then CAN FREE : Cls : Print " CANPORT CLOSED" : End
If pin(0) = 1 Then F4() : use user button to switch phev mode to test for later external phev button
If K$ = Chr$(146) Then F2() : ' F2 - DC CONVERTER 1 BUTTON - Press F2 and toggle ON/OFF switch for Converter 1
If K$ = Chr$(147) Then F3() : ' F3 - DC CONVERTER 2 BUTTON - Press F3 and toggle ON/OFF switch for Converter 2

 

hey opez

if you change the autorun file to

--
Run "your cureent canveiew version.bas"
--

you do not need to rename your .bas fileto autorun.bas and can have a XX.bas file on your sdcard with the version number in the file name.

 

There's also this CAN shield if you go that route: CAN-BUS Shield [SLD08201P] - $23.50 : Seeed Studio Bazaar, Boost ideas, extend the reach

 

So your real seriues about the color.

Al that for just a bit of color?

I geuss then the Duinomite canview project will stop?
With external canbus shield and a little different maximite device

I have to ask this question . The duinomite mega has a can,rs232, vga and other connections. So you are going with another can /rs232 connection shield on top of dev board to get color?

 

Actually (per your post on The Back Shed) you'd be better off adding the circuitry yourself on the prototyping area. The Sparkfun and Seeed versions both have a CAN controller as well as a CAN transceiver. You only need the transceiver because the PIC32 already has a dual channel controller (although only one channel is exposed)

 

A ok

Thx

I just got a second Duinomite mega so i could finally start on the lcd screen and start using the Duinomite canview.

I was day to day using the Duinomite as a charger controller and could not take it out the car risking a disabled charge control.

Now i wanted to start and on the dame day i read you go with other hardware ;-(
But happy that its not big a differents and going to be a while.

Do you think i can easily skip the canbus not present part of the code so i could do some bench testing with the lcd?

I got a i2c lcd but it seems to be difficult ( lots of code instead of just using the print command) to use it for this.

So Maybe i am better of with a aerial lcd that can be used with the print volts or so command.
