Hi,

In my current project, I have to write to a 16x1 character LCD display
(the type based on the Hitachi 44781 (???) chip).

I have done the development work on a 2x16 display using only the
top line. I have now connected my customers prefered display and it
seem like the line is split into 2, with the second group of 8
characters appearing at some higher address. (ie 0x40).

This means that I can't just write chars to the display, I have to
know when I go from the 8th to the 9th char and adjust the address
accordingly.

I have not come across this before. Is this common?

Thanks and regards,


Mike Watson
