Cprince,

So, do you have a plan of action for the further work on this LCD?  I assume that you plan to get your character graphic data into a table instead of hardcoding them into the source.  Personally, I would get the table working as soon as possible.  Just upper and lower case letters are going to suck up 416 bytes, not to mention punctuation, etc.  Large tables like that will require some smart management to cross page boundaries, etc.  Conversely, you could add an I2C EEPROM with the data externally if you need the code space in the SX.  

Keep posting as you get this project further along as it's good information.

BTW, how do you like the LCD itself?  Easy to read?  Is it backlit?  Does it update quick or have the sort of "fade in" that some LCDs have when you update the image on the screen?

Thanks,
PeterM
