How do you drive a Serial LCD?

[Mike, K8LH]

Henrik,

Thank you! That's the info' I was looking for.

For your backpack, select a PIC with USART and use HSERIN to capture the incoming data.

This version of my Serial LCD Backpack uses a 12F683 and an assembly language program. While building a prototype board a couple weeks ago for the new 8 pin, 14 pin, and 20 pin "enhanced" mid-range devices, I decided to add my old Serial LCD Backpack circuit onto the extra space at the bottom of the board (see silkscreen below). In the picture below, a 16F1823 is driving the backpack circuit at 57600 baud (one pin "overhead" on the 16F1823).

Check mackrackits link as well!

I checked the link (thanks Dave) but it's not really what I was looking for.

Thanks guys... Happy Holidays!

Cheerful regards, Mike
