Nokia Pi LCD

[texy]

Didn't you buy one of my ready to go units?
Texy

[sportsnapper]

Yes, but one of the old ones, before the SPI code was released. I also got a 'bare' one from eBay (2.98!) -that's the one in the picture.

I'm going to try to patch your lcd connectors into my breadboard, but don't have the right leads (or a schematic of your old board - the silkscreen is hidden by the LCD!). I may just unsolder the LCD - though later - must get on with some 'proper' work first!

[texy]

Hi,
I can't remember if you have the v1 board (blue pcb), or v2 board (green pcb). If its the green one I can post pictures of the track cuts and wire links required if you want. I believe my local sorting office has a package for me which will be the v3 pcb's - these will have the correct tracking in for SPI without mod's (if I got the layout correct ). If you are happy to desolder your lcd from it's original pcb, I could send you just the replacement new pcb, if you want. PM me if its of interest.
Cheers,
Texy

I seem to be having problems with my Nokia LCD - I am *SURE* it is me.

I've followed instructions in install Wiringpi, but note from a comment from Rattus that you need to change settings in setup.py ( case changes from Wiringpi to wiringPi I tthink) but can't seem to locate a file called setup.py anywhere. I've tried running the supplied code, but I get a syntax error at the line under GPIO's, starting SCE = 2 - i'm presuming this is related ?

Having a bad Pi related day today, as my airprint Pi seems to have taken a dislike to printing from an ipad, but will print from pretty much anything else.

I'd love to get this LCD board working

Thanks for any help.

Hi babbage,
to for wiringpi, its easier to use the 'pip' install method, and to use PIL and spidev also, use the following:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install python-imaging python-imaging-tk
sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install wiringpi
sudo pip install spidev

If you haven't updated your repository lists lately, do a

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

prior to running the previous installs.

hope this helps,
Texy

[babbage]

Hi Texy,

Thanks for the reply. I re-imaged a card, and then followed the instructions you gave and got the following error when doing sudo pip install wiringpi: Errorr: Command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
There is also a massive log file, which I won't post here.
Is there a real idiots guide to setting this up, as I feel I may be a good test for it

[texy]

Which image did you use? Can you post the complete message?
T.

[babbage]

Hi Text, sorry to be a pain. It#s been one of those days where I just shouldn't have switched any computer on, nothing I have tried has worked !!
I have used the Raspbian Wheezy image 2013-02-09. Error from the pip log file below....
Thanks again for any help

[texy]

Apologies - I should of told you that you need to install python-dev before wiringpi

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo pip install wiringpi
sudo pip install spidev

[babbage]

Hi Texy, thanks for the response !

I won't get a chance to try this until the weekend, but i'm sure it will fix my problems, so thank you for being so patient

Texy,
Am running test code as suggested, but it won't start

Getting syntax error in line 19:

Code: Select all

!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# lcd nokia switch shield v1
# by Texy and the raspberry pi community 
# bitmap display routine by POSitality

SCLK = 5 # gpio pin 18 = wiringpi no. 5
DIN  = 4 # gpio pin 16 = wiringpi no. 4
DC   = 3  # gpio pin 15 = wiringpi no. 3
RST  = 0 # gpio pin 11 = wiringpi no. 0

(All after RST line has been snipped)

I have edited raspi-blacklist.conf to remove blacklisting of I2C & SPI, and installed python-dev python-imaging python-imaging-tk python-pip
Then did a pip install of wiringpi and spidev

where else am I going wrong?

[texy]

.....looks like you've missed out the # at the very begining of the program.
The first line should be

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env python

This is important because it tells the system what language to use.

Texy

[paulie]

Just double checked : it does start with #!
The missing hash was a artefact of cut 'n' paste so that's not the problem.

[texy]

Hi Paulie,
didn't you buy the 'shield' type add-on board? The test code for that is in this thread :
http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 32&t=32183

In any case you shouldn't be getting syntax errors with just declaring constants/variables. How are you running the program?
Also note that the v1 shield doesn't use hardware SPI, so editing the blacklist will not effect the running of test program.
It sounds like something else more fundamental is wrong with your setup. Can you run any other code?

Rather than showing us where the error message is showing up, are you able to post the actuall commands used to run the program and all of the error message display.
Thanks,
Texy

I,m far from a linux or python expert. So can you navigate to the directory where nokia_shield_test.py is and type

Code: Select all

sudo python nokia_shield_test.py

and see what happens.

Texy

[paulie]

Nope, that didn't work either - same error as before

Code: Select all

[email protected] /usr/local/bin $ sudo python nokia_shield_test.py 
  File "nokia_shield_test.py", line 19
    SCE  = 2 # gpio pin 13 = wiringpi no. 2
       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
[email protected] /usr/local/bin $ 

is it anything to do with labelling of the pins?
( chip select vs. chip enable or whatever the manufacturers call them)
different versions of wiringpi for each one perhaps? Yes i know the LCD is not read by the software, but.....

only other thought is [space] vs. [tab] character, or is python blind to the difference?
I expect others have run this code with no problems. uname -a gives:
Linux raspberrypi 3.6.11+ #371 PREEMPT Thu Feb 7 16:31:35 GMT 2013 armv6l GNU/Linux

[texy]

It should not be anything to with the labelling. I have just cut and pasted the test program from the link above :

I have ssh'ed into my pi and pasted the program into a new test.py file and run it :

Code: Select all

[email protected] /home/shares/public/lcd_shield $ sudo nano test.py
[email protected] /home/shares/public/lcd_shield $ sudo python test.py
LCD Display Test: ASCII 32 to 116
Init, LED on, 84 chars, total time = 0.36

SW1 =  0

SW2 =  0

SW3 =  0

SW4 =  0

SW5 =  0

SW1 =  0

As you can see, it runs without problems.
If this doesn't work, i would suggest trying another python example program.

I'm not certain, but I would consider that there is an extra non-printing character on the line with "SCE" that is causing the syntax error. Looking at your error message, it shows a pointer immediately after "SCE" before the "=". Try deleting and retyping the line:

Code: Select all

SCE  = 2 # gpio pin 13 = wiringpi no. 2

I've seen this happen before depending on the copy/paste and editor used.

Enjoy!

First of all, to the point above I would agree, I had the same problem and it was a non printing character that had got copied over. I ended up getting rid of the problem by doing what Texy did, and copying the code into Nano from an SSH session, that seemed to solve that problem.

I have tried again today to get my 3310 working and although I get no syntax error now (Texy, you were right, I need the additional step you mention) I still can't get anything to appear on the screen, although I can see a backlight come on, that is about it. This is using the code further back up this thread.

I also tried using the code from bgreat, but get the following error:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pi/nokialcd4.py", line 296, in <module>
    noki = NokiaSPI()
  File "/home/pi/nokialcd4.py", line 158, in __init__
    self.spi.open(self.dev[0],self.dev[1])
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Any help gratefully received

Hi,
please bare in mind that Paulie has the shield type board, which doesn't support SPI and is therefore wired differently to the cabled type that you have. This means that the python program will have different declarations for the GPIO lines. The following program will work with the SPI wiring, but doesn't utilise hardware SPI, just bit-banging :

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# by Texy and the raspberry pi community 
# bitmap display routine by POSitality
# this version using the SPI pins, but not
# using spidev

Please note that you may almost definately need to adjust the value of CONTRAST. If you are still getting no error, but nothing on the screen, then it could be that 0xb8 needs increasing, try 0xbc).
Hope this helps,

Hello Texy, Thank you again for your patience and swift response !
I've ran the first bit of code and I now have a picture of a Raspberry Pi on the screen, thank you
My time has run out yet again this weekend, but i'll try the second code extract - i'm sure it will work now !

Thank you again for your help.

Steve

Edit: Changed the contrast too, I had tried before by using wildly varied values but I guess they were *too* varied

[texy]

Great!
Now that you have got the ballpark figure for the contrast value, you can adjust it by a few points to get it just right

Ok, I'm really having to go now!
Tried the second bit of code and I still get the same errors so I guess this is pointing to something SPI related ?
Is it just worth re-imaging and starting from scratch ?

Steve

[texy]

No. Are you sure you have installed spidev and edited the blacklist file?
