    Migs -

    You neglected to mention whether you are using a serial or parallel LCD.

    Regards,

    If you're using a serial LCD it won't be too difficult to adapt the Parallax demo code from debug statements to serout. You won't be able to display much info on a 2x16 LCD though, unless you use a scrolling or alternating display method instead of a static display.

    I'm still working on this, so I'll post an update when I'm done... I need to get the individual screens to update when they are displayed... And I want to add some buttons for scrolling through... And I managed to break the loading screen... smile.gif Oh yeh... And it's for the VFD... Um... Anyway, here you go:


    So your going to need to edit the baud rates constants, and probably the line in each screen sub that clears the display because I'm sure yours is diffrent... Oh yeh, and this is just an edit of the demo code for the GPS, like Chris was talking about, not anything new or fancy.

    Hi guys:

    The LCD is a serial display. I appreciate the input. Keep it coming.

    Migs,

    I ran across this site a while back. It has some GPS and general electronics info you might find useful.

    KE4NYV's Amateur Radio Page

    There is a project there using an LCD and a PIC with a GPS module.

    That Make video was very timely. All of the "Awesome Electronics Workshop" series are well worth watching. I highly recommend visiting Grand Idea Studio there is lots more cool stuff there.
