Hi,
I'm working on an project that should have an Nokia 6610 LCD with Philips PCF8833 driver. the LCD is like to LCD of Olimex SAM7 board:
https://www.olimex.com/Products/ARM/Atmel/SAM7-EX256/

I'm working with this LCD with help of "Nokia 6100 LCD Display Driver, Author: James P. Lynch" :
https://www.sparkfun.com/tutorial/Nokia 6100 LCD Display Driver.pdf

Now my LCD work but have problems with "LCDPutChar" and "LCDPutStr" functions.
the problem: this two functions write characters mirrored(even with changing INVON and INVOFF commands). how can I correct this ?

also I want to write strings on the LCD in Landscape orientation. do you have any idea to do this work ? do I must edit font table arrays or edit functions or ...
Please help me.
Thanks,
Best Regards.
 

with SetPixel command I can make landscape character but it's not good idea. anyone can't help me ?
 

I solved problems with this steps:
first of all I commented "INVON" command, then changed memory access controller's value to 0x40 (no mirror y, mirror x, not reverse rgb) , in next step I edited LCD's font file and rotated characters 90 degree to left, in final step I changed "PutStr" function's "y"s with "x" to write characters in vertical direction. now the LCD writes sentences in Landscape direction and you can use LCD horizontally (connector is in the left side).
I wish this helps to friends.
Best Regards.
