lcd

[mississippi]

I wrote a program like in the manual for lcd.
I have a 16 char 1 line lcd display.
I use the 4 line connection.
When I display the text I only see the first 8 characters.
The characters for 9 to 16 are not visible.
What is wrong?

Hi mississippi,

Most 1x16 displays are actually a 2x8 with both "lines" next to each other.

Try doing this...

LCDOUT $FE,1,"Line 1 ",$FE,$C0,"Line 2 "

HTH,

Helped me.
I had an old 1x16 that only showed 8 chars.
Could never get it to work properly till now.

Darrel,
That was the problem.
I chose 2 lines and I put the data to line 2 and now I can read 16 char's.
Thanks.
