Jun 14, 2016 Replies: 3 Hi, LCD Char Maker Tool. Functionality Create custom LCD character with 5 pixel horizontal (cols), 8 pixel vertical (rows). Each row is represented by a byte with 5 bits. Save / open the character to / from a textfile located in the application folder. Import 8 bytes array string in format 0xNN,0xNN... where NN is HEX value. Create B4R Inline C code (binary string) with copy to clipboard option. Create B4J code (hex string) with copy to clipboard option. Added few example chars in the project objects folder. Download the B4J source code here. Notes Tool based on the LCD Char Maker tool I wrote for TinkerForge. Tool supports LCD display connected to Raspberry Pi - using HEX strings (B4J) In below screenshot can also write shorter: Dim degreec(8) As Byte = Array As Byte(...)

rwblinn Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 27, 2017 #4 Update 20170227 v1.65 (see Post #1) On short notice pursuing as wanted a byte array import function for existing custom characters. Made some more changes in addition. NEW: Import 8 bytes array string in format 0xNN,0xNN... where NN is HEX value. Example 8 bytes array string for a Bell: 0x4,0xe,0xe,0xe,0x1f,0x0,0x4 NEW: Copy to clipboard buttons for Bin and Hex strings UPD: Output textarea fields are editable. UPD: Layout reworked with tool pane. NEW: Sample characters added in the project objects folder. Last edited: Feb 27, 2017
