    allen's controller question

    im using allen ruble's controller with my 8.4 in tft. all of the controlls work on the controller except "H pos" anybody got any ideas why this is? also if i wanted to hook my inverter through the card which pins would hook to what? (right now i am stealing 5v from the comps psu). thanks,
    etrik

    As for the BL (backlight) inverter part, I don't think anyone around here knows exactly how that works. There is a thread in the LCD section that has been revived, Info on Allens TFT To VGA Converter , and does have a little info on the pins.

    Let me know if you find anything.
    System in the works:
    Celeron 850 or PIII 933, SB Live! Value into a stock 4 channel amp, ATI vid, 10.4" sharp LCD w/ allen's controller, Elo SW touchscreen overlay and controller, GPS, TV tuner, FW DVD drive, 4 port serial card, and some other stuff....

    Loads of ideas.

    Its simple really...
    THere are 5 pins.

    two 5v (even though one is around 4.6v)
    one 10v
    one ground
    and one control

    I got it working with my LQ9D023 screen that came with the standard backlight inverter.
    however the inverter need somthing like 6-7v to operate.
    I tried using the 5v rail but it was too bark tried the 10v rail and nearly burned the inverter...
    around 7 volt makes it perfect.
    I can adjust the brightness and everything...

    Not bad. Do you know if that is the order of the pins as well?

    I sure can ...
    From memory its goes like this

    ======= Edit =======
    Pins:
    1 GND
    2 10V
    3 4.96v (5v)
    4 Control
    5 4.47v
    ==================

    Looking from the PCD (non component side).
    THis is from the memory, when i get home I'll have a look at the pin numbering and will let you know exactly.

    The control voltage goes from 0v to +5v

    Note: I found that the standard Inverter that comes with the LQ9D023/LQ9D02C doesn't work with any of those voltages. THe control is ok but the running voltage is not in the range.
    I suspect that the inverter requires around 6-7v to operate.
    The voltages from the controller are either too high 10v or too low 5V.
