    Default LCD commands

    Hi all,

    In spite of the similarity of my other thread i've decided to open a new one.

    About the LCD commands in PBP, the manual shows some commands.

    Are there any other commands ?

    The reason i ask this is because i thought that the LCDOUT $fe,1 would clean both lines in my 16x2 lcd.

    What i'm getting it seems that it's only cleaning the first row.

    Is this correct ?

    Download the manufacturers DATASHEET for the LCD you are using. Whilst some commands are common to all (for example $FE,1 should erase EVERYTHING), there are variations between manufacturers as to what features they provide. Those shown in the PICBasic manual seem to apply to most if not all displays. For anything beyond that, you DO need that Datasheet.
