Lcd With Tsop?
« on: March 02, 2005, 08:17:00 AM »
Is there any way to get an LCD to work with a flashed tsop?  I saw a product called LCD-mod that hooks up to the LPC port, but it is not a modchip.  I emailed the manufacture, but I haven't heard a response.

I read about that months ago and it was never released.

i dont know it would work with a TSOP though (doubtful since it runs off the LPC)

It was released and they are available from divineo.

Someone posted in the softmod forum that you can use them even with a softmodded box.  Of course, they never said if they actually got it working.

looks like it relies on LPC signals, which of course wouldnt be present with a TSOP flashed or softmodded box (save for a softmodded 1.6)

it might be possible to connect it to the same signals directly on the MCPX or the TSOP chip itself, would be much more difficult though

I recieved an LCD-mod and tried it out anyway.  Guess what, it works.  I don't know how or why, but it works.
So, if you have an flashed tsop and want an LCD (not all that necessary anyway), go ahead and grab one of these.  No need to buy a $50+ modchip.

Looks like a great product, but the Aladdin 4064XT chip supports standard LCD screens, and is $15/ea (cheaper in quantity).

lpc is refered to as the points on the motherboard of an xbox. Its just easy to say that its the modchips gateway into the xbox :D

The lcd-mod can be ordered from divineo.  It has parallel and serial connections.  I have one of the german LCDs connected to it via the parallel output.  There is almost no documentation on the lcd-mod and xaddons simply does not respond.

In avalaunch and xbmc, you configure it as if it is a smartxx LCD.  Perhaps, serial mode is emulated by the smartxx?

If you want to go cheap, get this and pick up one of the 20x2 parallel LCDs off of ebay for $9.99 shipped.  I went with one of the german LCDs that are 20x4, but are tiny.  The problem with these LCDs is that they are so tiny and the pin headers are smaller than standard.  I ended up speding an extra $20 for the lcd-con which makes it easier to connect everything.

The LCD mod does not switch bioses or anything.  

That alladin chip looks like another cheap route, if you want to add an LCD.  I'd check wtih xbmc to see if it is supported.

I have no idea how the lcd-mod works.  It may simply pass through L0-
L3 from the LPC which would be enough to operate in 4-bit mode for a parallel LCD.  The other connections on a parallel LCD are Regsiter select (RS) set H?, Enable set H, R/W set L, Vss set L (ground), Vdd set H. contrast control can be obtained with a 10k pot connected to Vee, Vss, and Vdd.

I always wonder wtf is the point of having a LCD on the xbox ?

Like all the mod enable lights n h/d + nic lights on xecuter 2.6 n such like

I mean I don't need a screen or led to tell me I'm booting up a mod/bios bank - the hacked dash & running unsigned code is a bit of a giveaway

Still some peeps like all the lights, windows and all the other case modding stuff so it is up to them in the end - but good to know tsop-ers can use a lcd screen if they so wish
