CREATING INDIVIDUAL MACROS AND IMAGES
To create your own fonts, images, animations and macros you need the following:
- To connect the display to the PC, you need the EA 9777-2USB USB evaluation board, which is
available as an accessory, or a self-built adapter with a MAX232 level converter (see the application
example on page 5).
- ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY LCD-Tools*), which contains a kiteditor, bitmapeditor, ediptftcompiler,
fonts, images, border, pattern and examples (for Windows PCs)
- A PC with an USB or serial COM interface
To define a sequence of commands as a macro, all the commands are written to a file on the PC
(e.g. DEMO.KMC). You specify which character sets are to be integrated and which command
sequences are to be in which macros. If the macros are defined using the kit editor, you start the
eDIPTFT compiler using F5. This creates a file called DEMO.DF. If an EA 9777-2USB evaluation
board is also connected or the display is connected to the PC via a MAX232, this file is automatically
burned in the display’s data flash memory. You can send the created macrofile *.DF with any other
system to the EA eDIPTFT32-A. All programming commands are inside this file, so you only need to
send the content of the *.df file (via RS232, SPI or I2C with smallprotocol in packets) to the EA
eDIPTFT32-A.
