Hi all,
I tested a lcd screen for GPIO port of soekris, following instuctions of 2
links :
http://soekris.hejl.de/
http://centerclick.org/lcd/
I tried with a orion module 4*20 (datasheet on this link :
http://www.lextronic.fr/ODT/20x4/20416B.zip )
However, i got a little problem : i don't have display. I use the exelent
package of Martin (thanks a lot) and his last driver 1.3.2. The error_led,
temp and voltage work fine.
But lcd4linux display nothing information. (link of the schema used :
http://paracyber.org/other/shema.PNG )
I use, like martin, a 4-Bit wiring even if i have a net4801, but without
success :-(
Today, just one time the sign 0 on the display, after many configuration of
lcd4linux.
Here, the important part of my config file and the log of lcd4linux :

Another very important thing: I am a shit in electronics :)
If somebody can confirm that lcd4linux is valid and shoud be working ...
perhaps that my connections are bad :-S
Any ideas ?
Thank,
David
