Hi Richard,
You are right on so many levels. I have a radio controlled submarine with a number of sensors I would love to display in color. So far the only OSD chip that does color text is the STV5730. So I was sent the code which has much more than I need since it includes time, temperature and a keyboard interface. The plan right now is to get the original code to work before removing or changing the code. After updating to Windows 7 64 bit a lot of programs I am used to no longer function. I could use all the help I can get as it has been two years since I have done anything with PIC's and to be honest I have some code I wrote I do not understand anymore! Maybe it is "Old timers Disease" or multiple brain cramps?

Best, Ed
