Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Please find attached Version 5.05.07

2019-02-12_033710_ArmmiteL4.zip

This includes support for touch as per the MM2 and also support for the ILI9481 displays and is now "complete" in terms of what I am trying to achieve with the L4 port.

OPTION LCDPANEL ILI9481, orientation, DCpin, RESETpin, CSPin


SPI connections to touch are the same as the LCD displays and Flash memory (SPI2).

Configurations on the L4 backpack PCB (V1.4 gerbers and schematic attached) are:


Option flash 2
Option lcdpanel ili9481,l,21,19,46
option touch 34,11

or

Option flash 2
Option lcdpanel ili9341,l,5,6,20
option touch 19,18

The picture shows a version 1.3 PCB which doesn't have touch connections to the ILI9341 header. These are included in 1.4.

Timely. I was on the verge of ordering the previous version of the hat.

The post mentions both an ILI9341 header and ILI9481 displays. Are both supported?

A problem that I have had with all of the L4 versions, and with this one, is that when using puTTY, backspace doesn't work. I don't think it's just the way puTTY is displaying it--If I type 'prinx', then backspace and type 't "Hello"', I get "Error: Unknown command".

Is there something I can do to fix this?

It probably comes down to what putty sends to the 'mite when you type the backspace.

You can find that out in various ways e.g. a small MMBasic program.

Chances are it isn't sending a backspace or you'd not see what you do see.

Works fine for me - just make sure in the "keyboard" settings under "terminal" backspace is set to send Control-H

Works fine for me, too, now. Thanks.

Minor change that stops the CPU speed being reduced during PAUSE statements if a COM port is open. This is necessary to avoid the possibility of incoming characters being missed.
