GLCD Data Mate Go Large – 2622 days old

[craig]

I would first uninstall all versions of Data Mate and then only install the latest GLCD_Data_Mate_Plus_Install.Zip as this works very well.
You must also install the VB_IDE_Plugin_dll Update, You will find that at the wiki under Plugins at GLCD Data Mate Plus, After that you can download the files for the Toshiba or Samsung Display Librarys and then the Bitmap Archives.

Hi Elo1

Both versions of GLCD Data Mate require the VB_IDE_Plugin.dll to be installed and registered otherwise you will receive the runtime error 429.

Download the VB_IDE_Plugin_dll Update
Right click on the file 81329-VB_IDE_Plugin_dll_Update.zip
Select Extract All
On the Extracted files Right click on the file
Select Run As Administrator
dll should be installed and registered, good to go

Good morning to all
I try to install DataMate but it doesn't work. The procedure I use was:
- Install the VB_IDE_Plugin
- Install GLCD Data Mate Install for IDE V2-0-0-4 (doesn't work -> "runtime error 68 device unavailable")
- Remove GLCD Data Mate Install for IDE V2-0-0-4
- Install GLCD_Data_Mate_Plus_Install
The icon of the program is present but the error "runtime error 68 device unavailable" is still present. Remove and re-install the program don't solve.
The SO is Win7.
Can someone help me? Need more informations?
Thanks in advance, Valter

Hello Valter

Are you using T6963 Toshiba driver chip on your display and which Series PIC are you using?

Hallo Craig
I am using a Samsung KS0108 (equivalent) GLCD with a old PIC18F458.
My target is convert BW picture in CDATA, then print the bytes on GLCD using a simple program (also SPrintImage don't work properly).
The program is:
Pittura:
yPixmax = CRead PuntaPix
Dec yPixmax
yPixMax = yPixMax / 8
Inc PuntaPix
xPixmax = CRead PuntaPix
Dec xPixmax
For yPix = 0 To yPixmax
For xPix = 0 To xPixmax
Inc PuntaPix
Pix = CRead PuntaPix
LCDWrite yPix, xPix, [Pix]
Next xPix
Next yPix
Return
Before call Pittura, the pointer must be loaded with the address of the table, where the first two bytes are the Y and X size of picture.
Thanks for your attention, Valter

Hello Valter

Windows 7 - Look under C:\Program Files (x86)\Proton IDE\Plugin\Daves Tools. and see if GLCD Mate, X & Y & Graphics Files Are there.

I have never used the Samsung driver chip only Toshiba but, they are similar. Have you looked on the forum under

and download his latest file for Samsung under the Plugins Section On the Wiki. First Go Into the C:\Program Files (x86)\Proton IDE\Plugin\Daves Tools.
and delete this if it is their and then do a fresh reload and then see if everything has been loaded but, before you reload anything switch your ANTI VIRUS program
OFF as this sometimes blocks VB IDE Plugin-dll. First Download the VB IDE Plugin-dll. then load GLCD Data Mate then the Libraries for Samsung GLCD, X /Y, In this order.
If you don't come right then send DAVES a message at links below he is always very helpful.

GLCD Data Mate, standard version

You will also require the VB IDE Plugin-dll if not installed on your system

Bitmaps Archive contains monochrome bitmap images

Libraries for Samsung GLCD: - GLCDY Library and Sprint Image Library If you don't come right then send Dave a message at : http://www.protonbasic.co.uk/member.php/338-DaveS DaveS Feedback Forum http://www.protonbasic.co.uk/showthr...-Mate-Go-Large

Hello Craig
Following your instructions, I discover that te problem may be a different installation directory of the plugins.
I find all the plugins that work properly in "C:\Program Files (x86)\ProtonIDE\Plugin", but the "DaveS Tools" is in "C:\Program Files\ProtonIDE\Plugin".
During the installation, I cannot choose a different directory.
I try to copy the entire "DaveS Tools directory" from "C:\Program Files\ProtonIDE\Plugin" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\ProtonIDE\Plugin", but doesn't work.
Do you have other suggestions, or can I write directly to Daves, as you suggest?
Best regards, Valter

Hi Valter

I don't know why the plugin installs to C:\Program Files\ProtonIDE\Plugin are you using Win7 32 bit or 64 bit.
I ran the GLCD_Data_Mate_Plus_Install.exe and it installed to C:\Users\"USER NAME"\AppData\Roaming\PDS\Plugin\DaveS Tools\GLCD_Mate, thats on a Win10 32bit system.

If you have moved this plugin to C:\Program Files (x86)\ProtonIDE\Plugin
you will need to edit the plugin details View>Plugin>Plugin Editor --
File>Open navigate to C:\Users\"USER NAME"\AppData\Roaming\PDS\Plugin\DaveS Tools\GLCD_Mate\GLCD_Plus.mcp
and LINK>Link to and locate the GLCD_Data_Mate_Plus.exe

The runtime error 68 device unavailable is a drive or location unavailable this could be the plugin trying to access an invalid path
Run regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\GLCDmate\Path
BmpStartDir Right click>Modify Edit to any valid DIR/FOLDER

Hello Dave
(The OS is Win7 64 bit).
Thanks to your suggestion, the GLCD works properly. It was sufficient edit/confirm the position with Plugin Editor.
I don't change nothing in Regedit.
With this operation I was hoping that the problem with "SpintImage" would also be resolved, but the error "unable to run Library Manager - rebuild library list" remained. I have bypassed this obstacle with my simple program and finally all works fine.
Many thanks to you and Craig for the help!
Best regards
Valter

Glad you got it working.

Here is a replacement for SprintImage not using the Library Manager
