Server needs to print to LCD #1

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
The server needs to be able to display info out to the LCD

This has been experimented with and was discontinued by @wallarug.

You are welcome to continue with this after you receive my LCD display...

How's this going?  I heard something could be promising.

Also, I found a way to reduce the time taken to clear the LCD display from 
3000ms to what ever you want.  I think We also might need to use the 8-bit mode 
for extra speed.

Been testing out the screen and have written my own LCD library which has 
faster clearing/refresh speeds and doesn't start printing out random characters 
on the screen. Integration into the server is still under way but alpha tests 
were successful!

My custom library seems to be very stable just need to make sure you don't 
write to the display to heavily because then it gets a memory overflow and 
starts spitting out random characters on screen. So yes the LCD can be hooked 
up to the server and we may do that in the future for easy status and info 
communication :D Now the robot is more stable I feel a bit more comfortable 
with putting on some fragile hardware!!

To be able to send over custom messages however (will be done with black frost) 
we will need to revise the TCP connection and how we handle data transmission 
because we are going to need to send a lot more bytes!! May have to open more 
than one connection but I want to avoid that if possible!!
