Is there a TV output graphics/text mode available?

I took a quick look through the Obex, but didn't notice any such driver present.

Is there any display driver, similar to 'TV_text' that provides some graphics capability? It should also provide text capability. Say like 160v x 256h resolution. 4-color would be fine. yeah.gif

    Harley,

    Look in the 'Library' directory where you installed the Propeller IDE.

    Your mileage may vary, but on my computer this is located here...

    C:\Program Files\Parallax Inc\Propeller Tool v1.2.5\Examples\Library

    look at the file named ... "Graphics_Demo.spin" in that directory.

    Thanks Beau,

    I'll check this out soon. Got a printer that has 'died' a hard error death to add to a pile of 'things to do' soon list.

    I seem to recall someone who had a graphics + text; maybe a year ago or so. Was too deep in getting project working plus learning Spin and assembly to follow that thread; and don't even recall who or subject thread title.

    I put this up awhile back:

    I never put it in the obex because there didn't seem much interest, and I'm not sure there isn't a better way to do it, but it works.
