Look at this beautiful image. A working QVGA LCD. Neat huh?
Look closely. Yes, it's a mirror image, but that's only due to a few flags not being set. That's easy to resolve.
Now look again. Imagine it was drawn the right way around. Testing blah blah... with an AVR. That's right. An AVR. Until now, we've worked exclusively with PICs.
In fact, we've an admission to make - that's not actually one of our screens that's working: it's one that Xing at NuElectronics got working and sent us photos to show that it is possible!
But we've got our hands on the correct datasheets this time (at least, the same ones he's been using, so they should be correct) so it shouldn't be too long before we're looking at our own bitmaps on these excellent little screens.....
