I found Andy Peters' LCD code useful in some recent stuff I was doing (http://www.latke.net/lcd/), and the Code Architect stuff is useful too (http://www.codearchitect.org/nxp/v2/) for LPC's and adaptable for other micros. But the point is, were you able to just drop it in and run? Or did you have to spend some time understanding it, and then figuring out how to adapt it to your specific requirements, and/or interface it to the rest of your system? That seems to be the fundamental flaw in most "gimme code" requests. |
