I have a Basic Stamp 2. I was wondering if I can use a LCD display with it? All I see iis for a BS2p and up.

    The LCD commands are for using a parallel LCD easily with a BS2 models that include those commands.

    If you have a BS2 that doesn't do the LCDIN/LCDOUT etc., you can still easily use a serial LCD with it, controlling it with simple SEROUT commands.

    For example, look at this code:

    (http://www.parallax.com/Portals/0/Downloads/docs/prod/audiovis/SerialLCD-v2.0.pdf)

    ' {$STAMP BS2}
    TxPin CON 0
    Baud19200 CON 32
    HIGH TxPin ' Set pin high to be a serial port
    PAUSE 100 ' Pause for Serial LCD to initialize

    SEROUT TxPin, Baud19200, [noparse][[/noparse]"Hello, this text will wrap."]
