RE: Programmable Electronic Load - LCD Display

I'm changing the LCD display used in the load.

The current one is a 96 x 96 Pixels LCD that's no longer available for purchase. Sharp doesn't produce the LCD anymore.

I purchased the boosterpack with the Sharp 128. That one is still in active production.

The boosterpack is pin compatible with the original - more expensive though. For some reason they added an SD Card connector.

I'll try to keep the firmware compatible with the Sharp 96 (hard to test, because both samples I have here suffer from intermittent contact in the flex cable).

The new LCD works with the TI examples, but not with the load firmware. I'm using the same driver, so it must be something silly.

If I need to make the code dependent on the display, I'll try to use compiler defines to keep backward compatibility where needed.

Blog adapted to SimpleLink RTOS. There's no functional changes, just using the new idioms and POSIX API

Very nice update on the project. From the LCD display, it looks like you are getting some pretty good results with your load.

Keep up the good work!
