This Soft is able to grab information directly from the screen produced by mpxplay to a 16x2 parallel input LCD. By using the mlt.ini, you can set up everything on your display, where you want. Actually, the aim of this is to be put in a car. if you like this program, just send me an email ! fab : screamers@multimania.com Where should I get mpxplay ? ---------------------------- MpxPlay is available at www.geocities.com/mpxplay (Free) How to build the LCD Connection ? --------------------------------- In order to realise this you need a male DB25, some wire and an LCD display. The LCD I used for my own experimentation is a ACM-1602AT(S)L. But anyway you can use the one you want as soon as it go a parallel input. (About 14 or 16 pin on the LCD Bus) I put here the pin number of the parallel port to help you. (see from the side you will connect your wire ) ----------------------------------- / 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 \ / 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 \ ------------------------------------------ Pin connection: LPT Pin: LCD Pin : Make sure that the LCD is at the ground, and have a good power supply (see the doc of your own LCD) 2 DB0 ( DB for Data Bus Line ) 3 DB1 4 DB2 5 DB3 6 DB4 7 DB5 8 DB6 9 DB7 1 D1 ( enable signal ) Data Read&Write ---> Ground 17 RS : Register Select Signal 16 E2 ( Enable signal ) GND(On Metal GND of connector) Note that if you are using a LCD of only 2 lines, you will not have the E2 enable signal. This pin is used only to select the group of 2 line you wish to use : in fact the HD4448 works like that : for any LCD, One HD4448 leads 2 lines. So in 40x4 LCD there is 2 HD4448, and they are independent. Note that all your ground must be connected together... Features -------- Please Report to mlt.ini file.
