Hi
=20
I'm building a 3 digit LCD display trying to use a Microchip's AY0438 con=
troller. I read the C18 compiler library and found there are some pretty =
good library functions for Hitachi HD44780 LCD controller. This is weird =
to me. Why do they write library functions for a driver which is not even=
 their own product? I also noticed there are a lot samples everywhere for=
 driving the Hitachi chip, and very few on AY0438 driver. It turns out fo=
r a starter, it is much easier to use a much more expensive chip (80 pin =
for Hitachi) to realize a very simple function.

I bet the difference is that the Hitachi chip supports many more characte=
rs, and people think it's "too easy" to drive AY0438, thus they don't bot=
her.
I'm very interested in getting a sample code written using C18 compiler a=
bout driving just a few digits LCD using any control chip, if someone may=
 share it. Thanks a lot.
