In SX Microcontrollers, SX/B Compiler and SX-Key Tool, DigitalMan wrote:

I've done it with a BS2, I assume it wouldn't be much different for an SX. Assuming it's using the standard LCD controller chip, you just need to time the Enable, RS, and RW lines correctly with your parallel output. Specifically, make sure the data is ready before triggering the read sequence. As far as I know, the screens use standard ASCII codes for the characters, so just grabbing a character from your data array and dropping it straight into the parallel I/O port ought to work for that.

As for actual code, I'll have to check for differences between PBASIC and SX/B, maybe I can give you mine. It's not exactly optimized, though.
