easyGUI and CCS Compiler

Just checking to see if anyone has had any experience designing LCD Graphics display interfaces using EasyGUI (www.easygui.com) and its compatibilty with the CCS Compiler.

I have a 128 x 64 Monochrome Graphics Display that I am interfacing with a PIC24FJ64GA002.

It's recommended by EasyGUI to use a uC with at least 10MIPs capabilty, this is why I am using the PIC24 series.

Thanks in advance for response.

Greetings,

I have not used the easyGui, but I checked out the link you provided. One of the supported compilers is the HITECH-C compiler which also makes a version for the pic microchips. The data types supported by CCS may not be compatible with the definitions in the easyGUI routines. However, easyGUI says it provides the source code. With the source code, you should be able to sufficiently modify the routines to make them compatible.

Please post the results of what you find with their product.

Cheers,
JMA

I've been working with EasyGUI Tech support and (unfortunately) it looks like the CCS PCD Compiler is not compatible with EasyGUI.

EasyGUI said they would eventually have a compatible version -- I'll keep everyone posted.

Meanwhile -- I ended up using the Microchip C30 Compiler -- works fine (so far).

From what I can tell -- the Easy GUI program is well worth the price (under $1,000)
because it can save time writing C routines for GLCDs.
