max6953 code
Hi philmod
You didn't give up from your last request :
Well try to build it with this small
application
You can visit the
site or downloaded from
here
It was developed for LCD displays based on HD44780 controller, that's why the hex byte which appears on the column immediately at the right side of the matrix area are coded according to that kind of display.
But you can use it to stretch your character from 5 columns to 4.
As I told you before, it would be imposible for wide character like M and W.
Besides that inside MAX6953 won't fit the all upper and lower case Alphanumeric characters (only 24 user-definable characters)
Because inside MAX6953 the characters are stored with 5 bytes per character, after filling all the required points in the matrix, imagine the display rotated clockwise with 90 degrees.
Now the columns appears horizontal and you can start coding from left to right, with most significant bit to the left.
7F - 1st column on the left
02 - 2nd column
0C - 3rd column
02 - 4th column
7F - 5th column
Now try to stretch the "M" character to 4 columns.
