I've never played with LCDOUT except just to run some sample code and see it display a few words.
I have some code where I'd like to incorporate an LCD but it uses a software RS232 input and putting a pause in the code could mean problems.
It looks as though LCDOUT not only has some minor delay issues in the setup commands but PAUSE is also required just to view the display?
Simply using...
Start:
LCDOUT "BLAH BLAH"
Goto Start
Isn't going to cut it?
Why exactly?
I guess it's probably because the LCD might turn on all at once?....rather than act like a scanned (1 digit at a time) LED display?
