temperature on LCD

Hi all,

I have the NX-1000 24/40 board with the the StampWorks book (kit).
I was working on experiment #28 and at the end of that experiment there is a challenge to make it work with the LCD module.
The experiment was about temperature measurement with the DS1620.

I first made the connections (see image attachment), then I wanted to merge the LCD (ex#11) code with the temperature measurement (ex#28) code.
This did not go as I planned rolleyes.gif
In the attachment (file) you can see what I dit, this is not the only thing I have tried. I did some more drastic things to, but they also failed.

I am no programmer and nog technician, so I have to learn allot, but I like it so I want to learn.
If someone could help me out with this problem and also explain one thing or two that would be great.

thanks in advance
Aaron

    First things first. Start with the basic LCD programs to make sure your LCD is working, then try a basic DS1620 program to make sure it is working -- after that you can start on the integration. I wrote StampWorks to turn hobbyists into Stamp programmers, so if you've skipped right to the end chapters you've missed a lot of material that would help you through thsi.

    I did that, and that went very well. But you say that if I did that I must be able to make this work? Than I gues I will have to try again.
    I am a real newbie, I even have to figure out what each symbol stands for and how to connect everything, but with the help of internet I am learning that to.

    thanks

    If you don't know what all the symbols mean or how to connect things (with confidence), let me suggest you put StampWorks on hold and read through our "What's A Microcontroller?" text -- that will build your confidence with connecting circuitry to the BASIC Stamp.

    Aaron et al -

    This is not directed "at" you Aaron, it just happens that you started this thread smile.gif

    Please take a look at the separate topic I started, entitled "The Parallax Advantage". After reading it, I suspect you'll better understand why we all encourage self-learning through the materials that Parallax has to offer. You'll never regret it, whether you view "Stamping" as just a hobby or as something more than that.

    Regards,

    Bruce Bates
