Parallax 2x16 Serial LCD (Backlit)
vbNullString
Posts: 6
Hello,
I'm a very newbie to BASIC Stamp and I have a few questions.
I bought Parallax 2x16 Serial LCD (Backlit) and BS1USB to control it.
1. What do I need to connect them? Will 14 inch Extension Cable and 3-pin Header work?
2. Although I bought BS1USB, I would like to get the LCD to be connected to PC directly and control it from C# .NET. What do I need to get the LCD to be connected to PC directly?
I appreciate any help on this.

The BS1 can control the LCD if the baud rate setting is 2400 bps. Please refer to the BS1 serial commands and the LCD Documentation for the commands to send. As for connecting the LCD directly to a PC, please see the following thread which contains the schematics necessary to do this. Take care.
