Serial LCD Display + BS2

azmax100

Hi

Can somebody please help me to confirm whether this LCD display (2x16 DS-LCD-SRL162)

http://www.cytron.com.my/listProductCategory.asp?cid=214#3028

can be use with BS2.

It's not because i don't want to order from Parallax but the postage fee will cost more.

Thanks.

It appears to be compatible…One pitfall you will run into with this display is that since it uses SPI you won’t be able to use the built-in formatting capabilities of the BASIC Stamp to print data, especially numbers to the display. For example, on a standard serial displays you can use:

SEROUT pin, baud, [noparse][[/noparse]DEC value]

To print the actual digit of the number. On the display you mention you would need to handle this one character at a time using the DIG operator or another method of converting the digits to ASCII values.

Thanks Chris. It's seem i have to take some time to return back to this post.

To anybody read this post,

I just need your help to show me some example code to display words and numbers on this LCD. Hope i'm not taken much of your valuable time. I just need to really understand before i buy the LCD.

Thanks and regards
