    Nothing on LCD: I2CWRITE SDA, SCL,com,$40, x
    In ST7036 manual I not found how I can display a decimal number.

    I2CWRITE SDA, SCL,com,$40,"hello"
    looks like incorrect syntax , should be like this
    Code:
    I2CWRITE SDA, SCL,com,[$40,"hello"]
    to display x (assume pbp3)

    Code:
    buff var byte[16]
    
    ARRAYWRITE buff,[dec3 x]
    I2CWRITE SDA, SCL,com,[$40,str buff"]
    [/CODE]

    Now that I think about it you probably will need to include a "Modifer" before your variable.

    Otherwise your LCD display may think the number is some sort of control character or it may be a non displayable character.


    from the PBP manual...


    An assortment of string-formatting modifiers is available for use within the item list
    of this command. These modifiers can be used to format string output that includes
    numeric values converted from variables:
    Output Modifiers for Formatting Strings
    Modifier Operation
    {I}{S}DEC{1..10} Send decimal digits
    {I}{S}BIN{1..32} Send binary digits
    {I}{S}HEX{1..8} Send hexadecimal digits
    REP char\count Send character c repeated n
    times
    STR ArrayVar{\count} Send string of n characters
    See section 2.11 for details on string-formatting modifiers.

    Now display the x value on LCD , like "hello 012" .

    In main loop, the text is scrolling from right to left on 2 lines.

    Code:
    SCL   VAR PORTC.0
    SDA   var PORTC.1
    Reset var PORTC.2    
    x     var byte   :x=12
    com   con $78
    buff  var byte[16]
    pause 100
    HIGH Reset
    
    goto StartProgram
    '********************************************************************************
    '=============Initializing LCD==========
    ST7036Init:
    I2CWRITE SDA,SCL,com,[$00,$38]'function set

    pause 1
    Return
    '********************************************************************************

    gosub  ST7036Init
    
    I2CWRITE SDA, SCL,com,[$40,"hello  ",str buff\x]
    
    Main:
    'I2CWRITE SDA, SCL,com,[$40,"hello  ",str buff\x]
    pause 1000
    goto Main
    Thank you very much for your help!

    I2CWRITE SDA, SCL,com,[$40,"hello ",str buff\x]
    is incorrect



    I2CWRITE SDA, SCL,com,[$40,"hello ",str buff]
    or
    I2CWRITE SDA, SCL,com,[$40,"hello ",str buff\3 ]
    is whats required.


    The "\x" ( length specifier) if used is the number or chr's in the the string {buff in this case } to send (12 {the value of x} is inappropriate), a null terminated string (as created by arraywrite ) needs no length parameter to be specified if you wish to send the entire string

    Hi,

    I am just curious. Did you manage to run LCD with the pinout from MIDAS? I mean the pinout you mentioned at beginning of this thread.
