thanks for the speedy reply.
i suppose i should more specific about the project so that i can get more directed help.<p>i started out playing with these screens.
i realized i could get interesting random patterns diplayed on them just by blasting the pwr and gnd pins w/ way more voltage then they are designed to take (around 12v instead of the 5v max)
it was kinda nice. look here:<p>
lcd screens<p>the problem was, although this is interesting...it is a bit boring.
so i want to make them more interesting by playing with the interactivity.<p>i'm think of using to 2 IR sensors to create visuals.
this could be anything from moving a circle around the lcd. (say IR1 determines X and IR2 determines Y)
or simply using the sensors to trigger random images.<p>the glicpic works great at getting images on the lcd. but as far as making them interactive...i'm stumped.<p>thats why i'm turning to the basic stamp.<p>i can't get any images to display.
i think this is due to either
1. improper contrast control (i'm using -12v running through a 10k pot)
2. improper intializing of the screen with pbasic
3. some combo of the 2<p>again...any help will be GREATLY appreciated.<p>has anyone had any experience with these lcds? and basic stamps? or glipic?
done a similar project?
got any ideas of an easier or more effective way to do this?<p>i'm stumped.
