I know I'm probably going to get flamed for this post.. But I am not sure what i am doing wrong and i am new to this lcd stuff... so if there is anyone who can help or assist please feel free to do so..
So first things first.. I have a 633 serial connected crystalfontz lcd
CFA633-TMC-KS http://www.crystalfontz.com/products/633/index.html
my motherboard is an aopen ax4sg-un motherboard
http://download.aopen.com.tw/Downlo.../mb/ax4sgun/ax4sgul-ol-e.pdf&Section=8&DL=yes
I have power from the power supply going to the lcd.. it displays the crystalfontz information...
I have the ribbon cable running from the lcd to com2 on the motheboard... the red stripe is pointed to com1 (imontherboard pin 1 is up.. the ribbon cable is running to the left of the pin on the motherboard.. , lcd pin 1 is up.. red strip toward pin 1 and running to the right) I've tried all combinations just in case..
I am running crystalcontrol 1.06 build 220 and wintest 2.0 and 1.9b...
crystal control 1.06 doesn't do anything when testing..
wintest 2.0 says it opens up the com port but when i try to sendi t commands or do the test it doesn't do anything..
wintest 1.9b shows it looking for the lcd on comport 2.. doesn't do anything ..
I've also tried crystalcontrol 2 2006, 02 16 build.. same thing can't find it..
I also changed out the ribbon cable to see if it was the cable.. its not.. the cable works on a different computer than this one....
is there something i need to check or am i missing on connecting this lcd? I did see in the 633 manual something about a jumper setting to switch it to default and to mode 1 .. i looked for jumpers on my lcd itself i didn't see any config panel to change them.. how would i do this if needed? or is there any other solution you can recommend? thanx alot
