G15 LCD Remote

[GtaSpider]

Hi everyone.

Anybody know: AutoIt can access to WinApi/GDI+. And so its possible to access to the LCD of the G15 Keyboard with the amazing DLL of Avatare-X.

What it can do?:

• Shows every image file (bmp/jpeg/...)
• Write a Text on LCD
• Colorize Pixel as u want
• Create a Rect
• Control the Buttons under the LCD
• ...

How to Run: First dezip the Zipfile and then run the "installLogLcd.bat" wich installing the Object u need.

Then start one of these two Examples.

There are two examples in the Zip. The first shows simple some functions of the UDF. The Second shows, how u can create more then 1 Object on the LCD (e.g a text and a rect and a other text and ....)

I hope u like it, and it would be great, if you give me some back comments

Mfg / Best Regards Spider

Dude that is freekin sweet! I'm going to be getting a g15 soon and this will be great since I wont be bringing both my monitors with me to college. I use my second monitor to show me stats and junk while I'm playing full screen games.

Hi

@Delta: Thankyou The G15 is very cool I had the first G15 (the blue one) until, she's crashed Nothing worked, and so i bought the new one v2 (or refresh)

I'm pleased with bouth of them, but the old one was a little bit better i think..

@XxX: Thanks

I like the idea of the lighted keys, but £45/$80 for a keyboard is too much for me...

How do you remove the application from the GamePanel Manager? I tried both your examples and now I cant remove them from the manager.

[GtaSpider]

Hi

Yes its a little bug..

Do this: Start GamePanel Manager and then try this:

Hey GtaSpider i am running vista pro with a g15 and im unable to register the dll any work arounds for x64?

[magician13134]

Very nice! Any way to control backlight? I don't see it in the AvLCD.au3 file. I guess it's not in the dll either, so I need to go bug the guy who made that

Hey GtaSpider i am running vista pro with a g15 and im unable to register the dll any work arounds for x64?

Bump for this question...

[Zinthose]

Yes. My primary system is also a Vista x64 system...

I checked the Forums for the Active-X COM DLL and this was the fix...

"... works fine in 64-bit OSes. Just have to put a copy in your syswow64 directory in addition to your system32 directory before registering the dll. ..."

[BrettF]

Works perfectly now. Now to make a program of epic proportions

if i use this lcd script my pc get fucked up after a while

it uses gdi, but only closes it on _closelcd()

It uses all of the ram if u dont use _gdiplus_shutdown() sometimes. I added this, but after a while the pc gets totally fucked up. I also deleted each gdi brush ,image, font..

It seems that there is something wrong, anyone get the same problem?

Also is there a command to to disable "run on startup" in logitech panel, if u init the lcd?

Hey, I run this on 32bit windows 7, and whatever i do, i got the error "$oLCD.showBitmap($hBitmap)^ ERROR", someone who have a solution for this?

Hey, I run this on 32bit windows 7, and whatever i do, i got the error "$oLCD.showBitmap($hBitmap)^ ERROR", someone who have a solution for this?

Just tried this today and I've got the same error. Any suggestions?

[GtaSpider]

I'm sorry, my G15 died after one of my friends thougth it would be a good idea, if we get my G15 a little bit drunk too, and so pour one and a half liter of beer over it...

But one year later I coded an implemention of the LgLCD SDK - hope this will work for you guys:

It have been 10+ years and your library had made another person happy, @GtaSpider.

After some fiddling I report successfully running on Windows 10 64bit.

These changes were needed:

• in scite, Tools->Compile select x86 version (i did for both SDK and example) and save. This is necessary for dll to load properly.
• change "..\etc\test.bmp" to "@scriptdir & "\etc\test.bmp"", as previous syntax seems to be discontinued.
• move "_GDIPlus_Startup()" from init function out (I put it right after includes)

For some fonts you might consider doing:

• add _GDIPlus_GraphicsSetTextRenderingHint ( $hGraphics, 2 ) in "_lgLcd_DrawText" just before "_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawStringEx" to turn off antialiasing for text, which otherwise creates artifact.
• to set one point = 1 pixel. For icq font it works well if you set size to 8: _lgLcd_DrawText("Test", $hBMP, $i*10, 0, "icq", 8). Interestingly, the result is the same when using size 6 and ommiting next point:
• added "2" as a last parameter $iUnit to "_GDIPlus_FontCreate($hFamily, $iSize, $iStyle, $iUnit=2)", to set one point = 1 pixel. For icq font it works well if you set size to 8, giving you 4-5 high characters, with 2 pixels down for "g" and similar: _lgLcd_DrawText("Test", $hBMP, $i*10, 0, "icq", 8). This will make font pixel perfect.

The icq font can be found here:

icq.ttf

 

I wonder how many people still use this keyboard..
