6. Installing the Software

For the DataVision, software that supports T6963c controller is required.

Eelco Schijf's site has several downloads at http://gfxlcd.schijf.org/

Mandark has created Power LCD, currently at version 1.1

Other software worth considering particularly for Linux LCD projects is lcdproc at http://lcdproc.omnipotent.net/, though this currently (version 0.4.3) doesn't seem to support the T6963c controller.

LCDMax is a popular Shareware app, currently at version 1.1: http://www.lcdmax.de/ At this point we don't know if this will work with the T6963c.
