Spent several hours trying and retrying using the uLcd43 in serial mode, and simply cannot get the display image or run program to work using FAT Controller.
I have formatted the card as FAT16, I have enabled "Unprotect Fat" under the General tab..
1) Run Program
I have created a script which can be uploaded and executed using the Script Execution option on the Script Commands Tab, the script appears to run correctly.
If I rename the script to autoexec.4ds and copy it to the SD card, and power up, the script executes (although appears to stop halfway)
But If I try to run the script using the FAT tab > Execute Program using filename: autoexec or autoexex.4ds and even by renaming the file to test.4ds it never executes, and the log reports "No response", and thereafter it stops responding to all commands and needs to be reset.
2) Display Image
I have used the graphics converter to create a myimage.Gci file, which is copied to the SD Card and inserted in the device, as per the instructions in the GC manual.
Under the FAT tab, in the Display Image / Icon fat input field, I enter the original name of the converted image myimage.bmp and press the Display Image button. The image is NOT displayed and the log reports Nak.
So I am not having much luck, all other commands seem to work, I can send and receive data, I can upload a bitmap from the PC to the display no problem, but these FAT commands refuse to run.
I am sure I am doing something wrong, but I have exhausted all my ideas now as to what that might be !!
