an artist with a question about lcds and photocells
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
i'm an artist and i'm relatively new to the basic
stamp. so my technical knowledge is minimal, but i am
interested in using the stamp to control some
sculptures i am making. my question is: is it possible
to display the readings from a photocell on an lcd
screen. i written the programs to control each
individually, but i do not know how to get the info to
the lcd. i am using a bpi-216 serial lcd and a cadmium
photocell.
i appreciate any help you can give me.

type formatting modifiers. Assuming you have your photocell value, you
can send it to the SEETRON display like this:
SEROUT LcdPin, $4054, [noparse][[/noparse]254, 1]
PAUSE 1
SEROUT LcdPin, $4054, [noparse][[/noparse]DEC photocell]
The first SEROUT clears the LCD, the second sends the value in decimal
format. The PAUSE is required by the -216 at 9600 baud.
