Using the LCD Appmod with the Javelin

I have looked at the documentation for the appmod and with the example for the javelin, and i find myself lost in finding how to create it so that the display reads out on double sized font filling out the display. i intend to display out a number which has its own variable and want it to show double size to fill both lines. how? what code is needed where.?

    James,

    ·· The LCD on-board the AppMod is a standard Hitachi-Comaptible display.· These support a 5X7 or 5X10 font on 2 line displays, giving one line, but it isn't double height.· That would be very difficult.· You should be able to select the 5X10 font though by reading the Hitachi datasheet and modifying the initialization commands to use 1 line mode, 5X10 font.· Take care.
