how? 2 wire lcd with pbp?

HI,

Another solution is using an I2C device like the PCF 8574 ...that allows bus sharing.

I think the questions are:

Can I redirect the output of the PicBasic LCDOUT command to my 2-Wire LCD Interface?
(I am using an LCD module with a Hitachi 44780 controller or equivalent).

Would I have to write my own LCD routines in order to use my 2-Wire LCD Interface?

I do recall posting this a couple of years back... you will have to use SHIFTOUT or similar commands to drive it.

@Melanie please update here an example code for your circuit
thanks..

Aw, c'mon... build it and try it... if I told you all the answers it takes all the fun out of playing... pretty obvious if you did a truth-table for the configuration of the 74LS174.

Hello Melanie,

Melanie>>if I told you all the answers it takes all the fun out of playing...<<

You have touched on a very important point. How is one to learn, if they don't play a little? Get their feet wet? At least TRY to some degree.

I have been wondering if college students bring their assignments here the day before they are due, and ask for the answers...yet has no code to show for their own... OH well...

Take care... Keep up the great work.

Now you've hit it... either that or somewhere out in the world is a money-spinning application for dimming three LED's that I can't figure...
