Serial LCD Rev C codes
I received an order yesterday with Serial LCDs from Parallax, but they were Rev C and apparently not compatible with RevE's out now.
Does anyone have code examples/LCD format codes for clear the text and moving to the 2nd line?
thanks,

·· There's no reason there should be any difference in compatibility between the LCD Displays.· The codes should work just fine.· In fact, with the exception of the lines, even the 4X20 should work with the same codes.
As a note, a standard $0C or Form Feed clears the Display, but you must PAUSE 5 after that command.

·· Did you have the jumpers set the same?· They really are code-compatible.·

According to the docs, a CR should move to line with the code above. Mine doesn't, the 1st line get overwritten partially.

·· Are you saying the same code works differently on the Rev E board?· If so, maybe something has happened to that LCD.· If that is the case, contact me directly Monday at the office between 7A and 1P Pacific Time.· Take care.
