Customer Display
|
|
|
Hello,
I own a customer display C2202-PD (
http://www.citizen-systems.co.jp/eng/printer/pdf/C2202-PD.pdf ), and
I'd like to run it on my linux system (ubuntu dapper drake, K7 kernel,
package up to date). But I have 2 problems
1) I don't have any native serial port. Then I added a PCI card, that
seems to have been detected, but it seems the module isn't usable (the
ubuntu device manager tell me I should use "serial8250")
2) I don't have any kind of idea on the instructions set. If anyone had
any usefull informations on this, that would be greatly useful
Thanks,
The Nux |

In fact, I wrote to the technical support and they sent me the complete
manual ( http://remy.is-a-geek.org/C2202-PDUME.pdf if anybody's
interested in), then using the display is not a problem (I think I'll
get fun of writing my own program). My problem now is to get a serial
port. Someone gave me a serial card, but the linux driver made by the
company require Qt2 (does anyone know how to install that on Ubuntu
Dapper Drake ?/I have strictly no idea on why this need Qt...). Later
I'll be trying to get it working on an other computer...

IIRC ubuntu is a debian derivitive and QT2 is included in the defalt |
distribution. you may need the sources, be very careful to get sources
matching your distribution though.

Most of those displays are pretty much straight ASCII terminals....
I've never seen one that wasn't but I guess you could always make it
complicated.
There is no reason whatsoever that it require Qt2; that's just bizarre.
Just set your serial port to 9600 baud, 8n1, and shove some characters
down the line.
As for a serial port, you can probably get a USB to serial adapter very
cheap. I got mine at a local computer recyclery for $2 US.

Isn't there any driver problem with linux ?

Mine was for a Mac. I remember having to do something special - but I
can't remember what. Perhaps something in loading the module or maybe
adding the Mac product ID to the hotplug database. The two others I
have - a PL2303 chipset one and a Belkin something or other - were
recognized and worked automagically.
In any case, if it is from a recyclery, they will be happy to take it
back as a donation. :-)

This one seems to be pretty easy to use ^^ It includes functions such |
as directly putting a string on a line and make it scroll, so it won't
be a pain, if I can connect it -_-
