Can you all think of any reason why the FTDI Basic wouldn't communicate with the 4D uLCD?
When I try to download a demo program to the display (a free day purchase), the GFX development environment tells me that "Device is not responding. Please check your configuration. Have you got an SGC PmmC loaded by mistake?".
I didn't reflash the firmware, so it is still GFX - and the display shows as much when it first boots, but for whatever reason I can't get the 4D Workshop app to find the display. I've double-checked the connections several times - two pins grounded on the display, tied to the power GND and FTDI Basic GND, the RX/TX lines cross appropriately (RX on FTDI Basic runs to the display TX, and vice-versa)...
Help is greatly appreciated! I'm walking away after an hour of messing with it to see if something comes to me...
I admit I am a complete novice when it comes to these displays, and was hoping my knowledge with other platforms would make this learning curve relatively simple, but I've been shut down right out of the gate!
