Parallax Serial LCD Driver v1.2

I have a question about this object. I'm trying to use it and I was wondering what this does -

PUB init(pin, baud, lines): okay

'' Qualifies pin, baud, and lines input
'' -- makes tx pin an output and sets up other values if valid

  started~                                              ' clear started flag
  if lookdown(pin : 0..27)                              ' qualify tx pin 
    if lookdown(baud : 2400, 9600, 19200)               ' qualify baud rate setting
      if lookdown(lines : 2, 4)                         ' qualify lcd size (lines)
        if serial.init(-1, pin, baud)                   ' tx pin only, true mode
          lcdLines := lines                             ' save lines size
          started~~                                     ' mark started flag true

  return started

Am I supposed to modify pin, baud and lines to the settings I use, or is that somewhere else?

Thanks!

You have to call init with the settings you want. No change in the objects code itself!

What you see in that code are only the valid values.

pub main
        
serial_lcd.init(23,19200,2)
