Forwarded message: From: Self To: piclist@mitvma.mit.edu Subject: [OT]Inverse Charaters on LCD Date: Tue, 10 Nov 1998 12:45:27 +0200 Hello David & PIC.ers, mmm. I think what Bill's saying in his roundabout way, is that with a 16 char line, you couldn't be using more than 16 members of the alphabet set at any given moment. .. Therefore, if you have 16 programmable chars available to you -but I think standard 44780s only give you 8 - then you could write your s/w so that the programmable chars are set up `on the fly' just before loading the line to the lcd. Bit of a grind to write, but if your app. demands inverse chars, I think it could be done. .. >Date: Tue, 10 Nov 1998 11:40:14 +1100 >From: David Instone >Subject: Re: [OT]Inverse Charaters on LCD > >You have got to be joking.
