It has been done multiple times before and seems to work well. There is even a comercial version of this combination available, but the name just slipped my brain.

It has nearly all the features I need and it is very easy to tweak existing ones to your needs. The support is good and fast and a large number of LCD controllers are supported off the shelf. I needed a bit of assistance getting up and running in the first place but I'm pretty dumb and Segger got me going fairly quickly. It does mostly what C/Peg and Peg++ does so if you consider those overkill then emWin would be too but it does mean you have got a full featured GUI ready to go and if you want to use window functions (as you do) then I don't think it is overkill. Subjectively, someone posted recently about not finding the C/Peg manuals helpful. I can't comment on that but I do find emWin's to be good. > Keith schrieb: >> My system will vary and different systems may contain different Color >> LCDs.

It's cheaper than most of the ones mentioned so far and support is not too bad. It takes a little to get used to it and it does have a few quirks, but over all it does what its supposed to do. It supports most of the major chips and has a semi decent manual. Good luck!

I searched around a bit and could not find NexGen anywhere, do you have a web link? Thanks! |
