Hi there,

I have been using the standard character LCD,s (16x4) with flowcode for a long time and very successfully. I would like to use gLCD's now with FC5. Please could someone point me in the right direction as to which one is compatible with flowcode and has a reasonable screen size and resolution. Am looking for something tried and tested that works we'll with FC.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

We offer the EBM001 display which is quite small but a nice display for a nice price.

We also support the 4D systems range of displays so one of these could be an option for you.

Do you need colour? if not then maybe something like a KS0108 type display would work well and be nice and cheap to get hold of, however the tried and tested component is only available in v6.

Thanks Ben,

I'll see if I can get a ks0108 and test it with V5.

As a matter of interest, what is the upgrade price to V6 from V5 prof?

Hello,

Not sure on exact prices but there is a "upgrading" calculator here which allows you to enter your license key and then work out what the prices would be depending on if you need the pro license and which chip packs you need.

Thanks for the reply.

Benj, how do I get hold of my FC5 professional KEY? My previous laptop crashed and I think it was on that laptop.

Hello Keejay,

If you PM me with your username or anything else you can remember, email etc then I will try and dig out your license details for you.
