LCD programming

Archiver

Hello,

I have a Matrix Orvital LCD and a basic stamp2 and I was wondering if
anyone knew how to sent it the built in commands such as "Backlight off"
e.c.t. Or what the command prefix is for the Basic Stamp 2

Thanks,
Jim

Hello Jim,

I believe the code you are looking for is available on our homepage.

http://www.hvwtech.com/software.htm

The code has been written for the LCD-2041 from Matrix Orbital
however it should work if you are using one of the other displays.

I hope this helps.

I have a 1 x 16 LCD which I write to from the keyboard.

serstring var byte(16)

Since the keyboard entry is almost never exactly 16 bytes I write:

serin 16, baud, [noparse][[/noparse]STR serstring\16\"/"]

and I terminate my keyboard entry with a " / ", which works just fine.
However, I would like to terminate the keyboard entry by pressing Enter.
Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

not sure. have you tried back-slashed characters or ESC char which are the
equivilent of return? use char like "/n" "/[noparse][[/noparse]013"
have never tried it but this trick works in C programming
