In SX Microcontrollers, SX/B Compiler and SX-Key Tool, FORD wrote: Can I also suggest that you just start with a simple one line of code to send one character to the display, and then go on to the more advanced code like you posted. When you do, remember to put a pause in at the start (about 200 milliseconds should be enough), to allow the display to initialise. Also when you clear the display with a command, have a short pause before sending more data to the display, as this can have strange affects on the display. Once you prove it this way, you know the baud rate is correct, and its easier to then get more advanced with the commands etc. Cheers, Chris, WA. ---------- End of Message ---------- You can view the post on-line at: http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=7&p=1&m=195281#m195287 Need assistance?
