Hello,
I am trying to interface a 1 X 16 LCD from AND (Model#
AND671GST-LED) with the BS2sx. When the LCD is connected to the basic
stamp and the program is running, it only displays the first eight
characters. The program that I am playing around with is LCDEMO.BSX
from stampworks and LCDEMO1.BSX from nuts and volts. Does anybody know
the reason it is only displaying 8 character and not 16? I tied to
placing a Function Set, which would manually set the number of display
lines and character font, in the initializing subroutines to no avail.
I also tried placing pauses in the initializing and LCD write
subroutines with no results either. Next, I tried to send the display
message all at once. This, however filled all 16 LCD characters with
symbols, so this told me that the LCD does work. At this point I am at
a lull for what to try next. Any suggestions. I look forward to all
the input that people can provide.
Thanks,
Glenn McGillicuddy

to manually set the DDRAM address to get to the second half of the line. If
you download and install the LCD Character Creator from Parallax, you'll find
a DDRAM map that coincides with your module and will help you out.
