Does anyone have the DIP switch setting for the Wirz serial board when
using it with a stamp? Also, I would love to see some code on how to make
it work.
Thanks,
Heath

I received a Wirz data sheet with my board when I bought it from MPJ. If
you can tell me your LCD rows, columns, and baud rate, I can give you the
settings. Here is a simple BS1 test program I made from reading Scott
Edwards site on his backpack. The Wirz docs are not too good, but
apparently the commands that Scott gives work with the Wirz. (We should
probably buy the well documented Scott backpack[noparse]:)[/noparse])
'FILE SCOTTBPK.BAS 4/15/00
'try demo prog from Scott's backpak doc
SYMBOL I=254
SYMBOL CLR=1
SYMBOL LINE2=192
SYMBOL L1_C7=134
PAUSE 1000
SEROUT 0,N2400,(I,CLR)
SEROUT 0,N2400,("HELLO WORLD")
PAUSE 2000
SEROUT 0,N2400,(I,CLR)
SEROUT 0,N2400,("COUNT:")
AGAIN:
SEROUT 0,N2400,(I,L1_C7)
SEROUT 0,N2400,(#B2," ")
B2=B2+1
PAUSE 200
GOTO AGAIN

Actually the Wirz unit has an important difference from the way
instructions are handled by the SEETRON unit. If I'm remembering correctly,
when your character DRAM address gets to the end of a line, the wirz board
*automatically* inserts a linefeed and a carriage return. This can be
confusing, and the Scott Edwards board doesn't do it. It's simple enough to
send the same instructions with command codes, but with the wirz board you
don't have a choice. I find the SEE unit much more straight forward to
format. This is also how my PBP code does it:

Thanks for the heads-up. I haven't used the LCD enough to realize
this....will print this out and file in our LCD folder.
