laser-vector

i seem to be having a little trouble sending a CR or CLS character to my serial out. everything else works ok...

CON

  _clkmode = xtal1 + pll16x
  _xinfreq = 5_000_000 

 Delay = 1000

OBJ

  ser : "FullDuplexSerial"

PUB main

  ser.start(30, 31, 0, 9600)
   repeat
    waitcnt(clkfreq / 1000 * Delay+ cnt)
    ser.str(string("hello"))
    waitcnt(clkfreq / 1000 * Delay + cnt)
    ser.str($13)      {im not sure if im doing this right, but this is where id like to send the CR character}

That depends on your terminal software. The Parallax Serial Terminal accepts 0 and 16 (if enabled).

Im actually using a parallax 4x20 Backlight LCD model: QY-2004A

ill look into it and see if it accepts CLS characters

Then I assume FF (formfeed, 12) should do the trick.

yep, just read the spec sheet on the lcd and 12 did the trick! thanks for the insight!!
