CrystalControl2 Flickering

[jrc]

I have a 634 usb conected lcd and it works fine with CrysstalControl1.

When i install CrystalControl2 the backlight is flickering.
This is very annoying. so if any one cant help me i will have to go with CrystalControl1 again.

Is this a known issue ?

If you go to the software section of the CrystalFontz site, their is a boot program for the 634. Download this and setup the contrast/brightness as you wish. Their is an option in there to retain this as your boot state, this will write the info to the eeprom and retain it.

EDIT: I had the same flickering problem until I set it up in here and retained the settings. I put up with it awhile before this.

I hope this helps.

The flickering is caused by the backlight and contrast PWM control.

The only way to fix the problem is to change the backlight & contrast levels until the flickering minimised.

I've noticed this on mine as well. I tried loading the boot screen to mess with the brightness/contrast levels in it and I noticed that no matter what level I set it to using the boot screen program, there is pretty much no flicking of any type. As soon as I load up CC2 ,however, the flicking starts up again. I guess there is a difference in how the two programs handle the power regulation in the LEDs?

Some experimentation with this should give the required result. Hope this helps to alleviate the problem for you.
