Anyone know of some objects that simply uses the text terminal feature of the back pack??· There is a ton of Pbasic stuff but strangely no Propeller text stuff.· Lots of overlay stuff but not text. (That I can find that is)

    Mike,

    Let the PBASIC examples be your guide. Just use FullDuplexSerial in its OPEN configuration to send the same data to the Backpack as the PBASIC examples are sending, and you will see the same results on the screen.

    Thanks Phil, I have finally been able to send the ketter upper case B to the display!!· I'm not sure I have the mode set correctly however.· I used %01000 for the mode bit.· Is this correct??

    Use %1100. The %0100 part sets open drain, and the %1000 part makes sure that data that are transmitted get ignored for input, since you're using the same pin for both.
