Serial LCD is Killing Me! Just garbage

Well, it certainly was not a cuppla bucks for the display and backpack!! Seetron.com ~$50.

However, the reason I got it was to learn how to use it. Now that I figured it out, I can use smaller packages even if it doesn't matter. I think of it as tuition!

I was using a parallel display and the LCD out commands and it *was* much easier after adjusting the defines. Oh, and the display was as cheap as the pic!!

Hello Mike Slaney,

MS>>Well, it certainly was not a cuppla bucks for the display and backpack!! Seetron.com ~$50. <<

Yeah... I couldn't see myself paying that much for a backpack...For less than 15 dollars. Used a cheapo LCD and a 648A for the driver.

Thats the fun part.... I have a very good friend...He has a quote...that goes something like this:

"We purchase and put together 5 and 10 dollar PIC projects to learn to use our 1000s of dollars equipment."
