Yet Another CMSP character recognition application

[bnepethomas]

Hi Overpro. Thanks for sharing your code :thumbsup:

Only downloaded it currently. A new Mega and Ethershield arrived together with an I2C OLED (thanks Pete for the link posted). Possibility to get the CMSC to work is dream comming true.

 

Can anyone share a working Arduino scetch to use for the Overpros code, for a Ethershield connected Mega as example ?

 

(or point it out to a half blind delerious fellow builder ;-) )

 

Cheers

Hi Gus

 

My code is ugly, but can be found here (C# and Sketch).

https://code.google.com/p/bne-arduino-multi-oled-receiver/

My plan now is to leave Overpros code as it is, as it can send to a UDP Port, have some code listen on that port, and then forward to my generic UDP to OLED code.

 

cheers

I'm using a USB Video adapter (in my case USB to VGA for an old 5" LCD I had laying around). Works like a charm so far. You can hook quite a few of them up if the resolution remains relatively low. Mine is set to 800x600. You can find them on ebay for around $30. My plan was to use it for the CDU. Something like this:

Thanks for the pointer, I had an oldish USB video adapter, and was sitting there wondering what was going to blow up when I installed the driver, and had a light bulb moment. The MFD monitors are 1280*768, of which a third is hidden out of view, did the maths and discovered I can 'display' the CMSP and CSMC on the part of the MFD screen which is hidden behind the panel.

Reminds me i need to tidy up my Arduino tutorial and update it for ethernet.

Ah that's a great idea! I was totally spacing on the fact that you are only displaying so the OCR can pick it up. I'll likely be doing the same since much of my 27" Front Panel monitor is hidden...thanks for the tip! :)

Thanks Peter. I'll check it

Hi Guys

 

A quick update, basically I've been able use OverPro's code as is, all I did was modify screen locations, and IP address. I've pointed it to a pretty simple filter that wraps a header around it, and then send it to my existing OLED interface. Got a couple of kinks and error handling to work on, but its real nice to see the CMSP and CMSC come to life.

 

Thanks again Overpro.

 

Cheers

Might be worth making an entry in the Warthog Pit wiki about this. There is a connectivity section.
