There TSL230R sample code do?
NOTE: To be displayed on the LCD.
Because no data, and can provide all the relevant item?!?!

Here are some files I had on my hard drive.

I know there are several BS2 programs included in these files but I don't know if any of them use a LCD as a display.

If you're having trouble finding things with forum search feature, you might want to try Rich's search page which limits a Google search to Parallax and Savage Circuits sites.

I didn't include any Propeller code examples but I'm pretty sure I have a few in case anyone is interested.

These sensors are pretty easy to use. You set the sensitivity and scaling amounts by pulling a few pins high or low and then read the frequency the chip outputs. It's been a while since I've used one but I was able to read my pulse rate by shining a light (LED) through my finger and have the sensor read light level on the opposite side of my finger. The extra blood during a pulse would dim the light from the LED (red or IR) and sensor was fast enough (when used with a Propeller) and sensitive enough to detect this pulsing light.

IMO, these are really cool little sensors.

I took a closer look at the Nuts & Volts article (nv21.pdf) and I see it uses a 16 x 2 LCD for output. The code in the article (also available in "nv21.zip") should be just what you're looking for.

Duane, I would like to take a look at the Prop code. I have a couple of these sensors that I have never used but would like to.

Here are a few Propeller demos I found on my hard drive.

Even though the names are very similar, I think the various demos were written by different people. I did not write any of these demos myself. I think I found these on the TSL230R product page and possibly in the OBEX.
