LCD JLX12864 flashing
#41
Bug 
Hi, I'm experiencing this flashing issue on the JLX display, its a newer board that I bought this year.  

I'm running Tinypilot on Pi Zero 2 and using Stelian's image, since that image is fom 2021 it does not have the software bug fix that Sean posted in this thread. To make the fix, I edited the .cpp file manually, but Im not sure what to do afterwards. I'm a hardware guy so a little out of my league at this point. Heres what I did so far, am I missing anything ?
 
My setps so far (still not working):
  1) edit/save the /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tinypilot/pypilot/hat/ugfx.cpp file (comment out one line per Sean's fix)
  2) python3 setup.py build_ext --force --inplace
  3) power cycle the system


More info:
 - My JLX board looks differnt than either of Onno's pics
 - I can only get it to show a solid screen if I pull the /CS (pin 12), but the screen wont refresh. 
 - When I scope the /CS pin, I also dont have a regular signal, similar to what Onno observed.
       
       

Help is much appreciated, thanks !!!

Did you try stelian's image from 2024? Might be easier.

Oh, I wasn't aware there was a 2024 image. I see only a 2021 version here. Am I looking in the wrong spot ?
