DOGL-128 LCD module is made by Electronic Assembly. It needs a couple of capacitors but can work from a single 3.3V supply otherwise.

It uses ST7565 controller and SPI interface. I used the following connection:

+-DOG LCD-+      +--mbed--+ 
|36 SI    |------| 5 mosi |
|37 CLK   |------| 7 sck  |
|38 A0    |------| 20     |
|39 Reset |------| 19     |
|40 CS    |------| 18     |
|35 VDD   |------| 17     |
|34 VDD2  |------| 17     |
|26 VSS   |------| GND    |
|33 VSS   |------| GND    |
+---------+      +--------+

To demonstrate the LCD I used as a base Mike Sheldon's 3D rotating Tie Fighter demo. Get it here: DOGLCDDemo.

The LCD routines are in DogLCD.h/cpp, wrapped in a class DogLCD.

This is very cool!

If you run MBED from a PC, do you need any particular powersupply arrangement, or MBED will provide the power (as it appears)?

Yes, I used just 3.3v out.

Thanks for the Library, but there is a bug in _set_xy function:

in DogLCD.cpp change lines 39 and 40 to:

cmd[1] = 0x10 | ((x>>4)&0xF);
cmd[2] = x&0xF;

(high and low nibbles of x were swapped...)

Then you also get horizontal lines :-)

Hi Igor,

I recently purchased a DOGL128 LCD and I used your demo to check it out. Thanks, it saved me a lot of time!

I plan to use the DOG in an mbed-based heating controller project and need to augment the display support classes. Have you done any more work on this? I don't want to re-invent any wheels.

Regards,

Paul

Hi Paul,

Glad it was useful to someone :) I haven't done much since then, but feel free to post any issues you run into.
