so...
I was reviewing the datasheets of various dot matrix drivers and I found
that the command set is pretty common, at least 3 chipsets families use
the same command set, so the chip name is not worth in the name...
To note, so far AX6120, AX6121, SBN1661, SBN0080, SED1520, SED1521 and
SED1522.
I repeat, this is for a lcd display with just one big dot matrix, not
the classic 2x16 matrix islands...
As I will use the classic lcd form to talk to it, I think it has to be
names as lcd, not glcd.
Beside it doesn't use colors, so the glcd lib is to bulky and I want a
fast and simple (small) way to use them as character devices.
To differentiate this from the classic lcd lib I will denote them as
"one_dot_matrix", and it the file denote the chip compatibility.
I can use "lcd_160x32.jal" but, the chips allows for many AxY
dimensions, so this is not a real identification for it.
so, the final name I propose is:
lcd_one_dot_matrix.jal
Any other idea?
Cheers

Hi to all...
Tonight I managed to build up a pretty good lib and a decent example, I
have to polish/comment it but there is another question in my mind now.
It's full compatible with the print+format jallib library.
This lib is for a limited GLCD module (black/withe aka ON/OFF), it's
just a big 160x32 matrix, my lib is for using these as pure character
devices, like the classic hd44780
Used this way It turned to be a 4x26 character device using 5x7 font
from the glcd library of jallib; yes this modules don't have native
character support as others...
So I have to use the predefined font and "draw" the chars on the screen.
The question is about the name and classification of the lib.
Should I classify it as simply lcd_xxx or glcd_xxx?
As this can handle two type of chipsets I have two optional names
- lcd_ax6120-sb1661.jal (named as pure char device)
- glcd_ax6120-sb1661_char.jal (glcd it's, but used as char only device)
I'm voting for the first one, but I'm all ears on this naming issue.
Cheers.
