Please I need to know, how to connect the LCD Terminal AppMod to my Board Of Education abd witch PINs would I have free for other applications.

(I think that the documentation is not good...)

Thank you very much.

    Hmmm.... the LCD AppMod documentation shows that it uses P1-P7, so the rest of the pins (P0, P8-P15) are free. Depending on what your Boe-Bot is doing, you may have to reorganize some of the other IO.

    This is one of those times wher you just have to jump in and experiment -- and that's where the real fun is.

    I'm confused ... what product to you have?· Our LCD AppMod looks like this:

    29121.jpg

    ... and our serial LCD looks like this:

    27976.jpg

    Which one do you have?

    Okay, the LCD AppMod only plugs into one place -- the AppMod connector; that takes care of all the connections to the BASIC Stamp. If you're putting it onto a BOE-Bot, you may have to reorganize some of your other connections.

    If you look carefully, you'll see there is a mounting hole on the LCD AppMod (near the buttons) -- this gets aligned with a mounting hole on the BOE near the serial connection.

    Oh!, Thank you very much, Jon.

    I had a look to the program and, I know that you tell me "...that it uses P1-P7..." it looks like if only pins 1,2,3 are used... I thought it was somothing like a serial communication...

    thanks

    The LCD bus uses P4-P7, and is handled as OUTB in the program.
