LCD Questions

Hi all

Thanks for the previous help regarding the */operator. I think I have
that under control now.

Currently I am working on the digital thermometer example in the
Stampworks manual. I have a grasp of what is happening and am trying to
solve the "challenge" problem by interfacing the output to the LCD
display instead of the debug terminal.

After reviewing the BS command list. I see that the commands LCDCMD,
LCDIN, and LCDOUT only apply to the BS2p according the the manual.
However I believe I only have the BS2 and the example code works with
the LCD using these commands. Is there an error in the manual or am I
confused again.

Again thanks for everyones input. I'm really having fun learning this
stuff.

Scott

    There are no errors in the manual!!! (grin).

    LCDCMD, LCDIN and LCDOUT are limited to the BS2p. ·The StampWorks manual,
    however, is written for the BS2 (code for the BS2e, BS2sx and BS2p is
    available from Parallax) and I made the experiments electrically compatible
    with the BS2p (since the BS2p specifies LCD connections). ·The manual has
    code segments for LCD interfacing that are replaced by the built-in commands
    in the BS2p.

    Hope this clears the confusion.

    Please don't take my comments as being critical of the manual. Really
    I'm just trying to learn something here.

    I'm now completely confused. :-)

    I purchased a Stampworks kit with the Inex-1000 board and (I think) a
    BS2 chip. I don't think I have a BS2p chip. What commands should I be
    using to control the LCD that came with this set and where can I find
    more information on using it.? I don't mind reading.... please just
    point me in the right direction.

    Thanks again
    Scott
