What baud rate were you planning to use, and which Stamp are you using?

You need to use the DEC formatter in front of the variable, otherwise it just sends the binary value, and not the number you're trying to display.· I hope this helps.· Take care.

pulse VAR Word
lcd PIN 14
lcdbaud CON 32···························'(Is this for 19,600 bps?)


DO
PULSIN 15, 1, pulse
PAUSE 500

pulse = pulse * 2
SEROUT lcd , lcdbaud , [noparse][[/noparse]DEC pulse, " usec"]
LOOP


I put in DEC (decimal equivalent), otherwise the LCD would·interpret the value for pulse as an ASCII character.

(CS and I must've been working on this at the same time.· I went to the parallax site to check on the serial lcd datasheet.)
