Hi!As you know, we're building an A320 flightdeck. I came across the problem of displaying "Std" to the Baro display. For "S" you can take "5", for "t" "1" and for "d"? Ok, I took the datasheet of ICM7218 (that is the chip in the display module) and there it says that I can send following characters to a digit via senddata command: "H", "E", "L", "P", "-" and " " (blank)The datasheet says, that two ways of decoding exist. This would be code B. The hexa code, as I have understood it, can send 6 other characters and "D" would be among them. So, has anybody out there a solution for my problem or knows how to activate the other decoding method?Thanks!steve here's the link to the datasheet: http://thayer.dartmouth.edu/~engs031/databook/icm7218.pdf---------------------------------------------------------------------Do you know the A320 Flightdeck Project?

Hi!I have made it! Now I am able to send "d" to my display. Ralph Robinson gave me the hint.regards,steve---------------------------------------------------------------------Do you know the A320 Flightdeck Project? Visit www.a320flightdeck.com

Hi!Sorry, I forgot it. But only do this at your own risk!!Ralph Robinson told me to put a 10k resistor between pin 9 and pin 19 (VCC) of the ICM7218 chip on your display module. When you have done this, this chip will use the hex decoding method. So the others on your display module will remain in b decoding method. To send alpha characters you have to use the senddata command. for example:senddata(2,0,0x0A) would send an "A" to digit 0 (first digit) on module 2 and row 0 (every chip is representing a row, 0 = first chip/20pin cable).So with hex-decoding you are able to send letters A-F 0x(digit#)(LETTER)With b-decoding there are only 4 alpha characters but a "-" and " " (blank) available. For further details refer to page 5 of the document I have linked in a post above.regards,steve---------------------------------------------------------------------Do you know the A320 Flightdeck Project?
