Please find a new release of the Serial_LCD Library Suite:

proxySerial • Nov 28, 2012 release 314 • utoa renamed u64toa
Gallery • Nov 29, 2012 release 311 • array[MAXPICTURE] instead of vector
GUI • Dec 01, 2012 release 318 • new area object

The new area object is a button without text or a hidden button. This is especially useful to define active zones on a displayed picture.

Instead of defining each element, buttons, icons, … of the interface, display a single picture and define active zones on it.

Obsolescence Notice

The Serial_LCD Library Suite was designed for 4D Systems screens on serial SGC mode.

4D Systems has launched new screens and a major update of its Workshop 4 IDE with an outstanding feature: ViSi-Genie. ViSi-Genie provides a graphical environment to design a user interface in just a couple of minutes.

The new serial connection SPE2 mode is not compatible with SGC, making the Serial_LCD Library Suite obsolete. 4D Systems provides new libraries for the Arduino, PixAxe, Raspberry Pi, Pascal and C platforms.

Please find the new LCD_screen Library Suite that replaces the Serial_LCD Library Suite.

The LCD_screen Library Suite supports a wider range of SPI and 16-parallel affordable screens, apart from the 4D Systems Picaso-based serial screens.
Enjoy :)

Is this software supported for the RA8875/TFT LCD combinations such as the 5" LCD sold here on the Adafruit site?
e.g. https://www.adafruit.com/product/1596
I am looking at using a Teensy 3.1 with the RA8875 and from reading on the library's website (http://embeddedcomputing.weebly.com/lcd ... suite.html) it seems both the Arduino and Teensy 3.x are candidates?

Distribution 113 of the LCD_screen Library suite doesn't include yet the driver for the RA8875.

It is still under testing. The RA8875, although powerful with its built-in features, seems to be trickier than other LCD controllers.

Stay tuned!

This sounds like a great idea. Has there been any development since then?
