Yes those Sharp LCDs look really nice, but probably a little expensive for my application.

There seem to be a range of 128x64 or 128x32 COG transflective that use the ST7565R SPI driver. A couple from US based suppliers are:

They have through hole pins and only need a handful of caps to make them run. There are also of course cheaper options with same driver on the Chinese sites :)

I have a prototype of my logger project up and running using the Nokia LCD as that was easy to obtain/run. Going forward I need a similar display I can get on an ongoing basis - and I assume these Nokia LCDs are gradually going to disappear. If the project actually goes forwards could be buying in the hundreds eventually.

Has anyone else found a similar display which is supported by already (or easy code mods) by Espruino ?
Compared to Nokia LCD the important things are:

• similar resolution/size - can be higher res but not a lot bigger
  
• prefer to stick with graphic, but could use a small 16x2 or 12x2 character
  
• transflective - I need low power where I turn off backlight on battery. Backlight not required at all if good daylight visibility
  
• reasonable price - but would prefer to pay a bit more for known reliability than cheapest option out there
  
• easy to get up and running on Espruino Pico
  
  

Currently I am looking at the Newhaven displays but any other suggestions would be most appreciated

Thanks

OK will check out that module for some consistency. Out of interest will the SIM900 module support the new HTTPS additions or are there changes required ? I would prefer to use the Parse Cloud functions but they only work over HTTPS

OK my bad - I introduced some multiple modules in my debugging. Took a hardware reset to recover from that.

So back to the original issue - there are a number of error conditions from SIM900 that are not being caught which means the busy flag and the AT handlers are not being cleared hence everything stops. I am in the process of adding these error handlers in - once I have it running reliably am happy to submit back.

gprs.at.debug() is showing multiple response lines eg
["ATE0\r\n"

What would cause that ?

Thanks for that - I had just done some reading on the networking to understand the interface and was about to start trying that. But now there are stranger things going on when I try to upload new code it is real slow and I get http and networkJS modules not found and then when uploaded the console is running real slow and a few keystrokes behind :( Maybe I have a hardware issue going on here ?

I am having an issue with my Pico logger project which is using a SIM800 board. It runs successfully for over a week posting data every 5 mins to Parse.com, but then a couple of times it has got into a 'stuck state'. It is currently in this state and I am trying to debug.

When I reset the application the SIM800 does connect and do 1 or 2 succesful POSTs and then gets stuck.
Before doing the send I check I have a valid IP and then start a POST request. With at.debug() on I can see that CIPSTART is successful then I get CONNECT OK but then nothing more - no DATA SEND as normal. Then after a 30s or so the SIM800 sends a CLOSED.

I am running a local copy of the SIM900 module as I have added some functions. How do I go about debugging this further ?
