Understanding Serout Sx/B baud rate and so on ..

duffling

Im trying to workout something ..

If i program my Basicstamp to run my Serial LCD display , when i use serout , i set the baud rate to N9600 ,

If i duplicated the same program , same LCD , i can only get it to work using T9600

Is this because the logic on the output pins in Pbasic is inverted ? or opposite...

thanks again ..

Are you connecting the LCD serial pin directly to the stamp and SX I/O ?
Can you post the code and/or schematic for each.

It should be the same for both.

I've done lots of serial output to LCD displays with BASIC Stamps and SX/B and there is no conflict -- they work the same. Have a look at the SEROUT demo in the SX/B help file; you'll see that it uses "N9600" as the baud mode.

yes i have the serial out pin direct to the LCD .. and the power connected in the usual way
it has 3 pins .. serial .. and vss vdd

I think i have worked out what im doing wrong ..

When i code for this LCD for the BS2 , In pbasic , i use the baud rate lcdbaud con 84 , when i code for bs2sx , i use lcdbaud con 240 which i understand is 8 bit no parity TRUE for this type of LCD


my silly mistake..·I assume·this is the same as T9600 in sx/b ........

thanks for the help.
