LCDOUT -- lose the zero ?

[pedja089]

Try this LCDOUT $FE,1,#mynumber," "
$FE,1 should clear display. But for some reason your display isn't cleared.

I use the following code to display a word variable which contains the value between 0 and 100

If maxbright  = 100 then
LCDOut $FE,$c0,#maxbright,"%"
endif

If maxbright  =0 or maxbright <10 then
LCDOut $FE,$c0,dec1 maxbright,"% "
endif

if maxbright >=10 and maxbright <100 then
LCDOut $FE,$c0,dec2 maxbright,"%   "
endif

Just change maxbright for your variable and you should be fine

I don't have problem with leading zeros, so I just use DEC3 to make it simple.

I resorted to a longer method of writing to an LCD. To get numeric values to print, first I create variables for each digit.

Val VAR BYTE
ValA VAR BYTE[3]  'Occupies 3 consecutive addresses

ARRAYWRITE ValA, [#Val]

IF Val < 100 then
  ValA[2] = ValA[1]
  ValA[1] = ValA[0]
  ValA[0] = " "

I then print individual characters to the LCD.

Ok. I get it now. Never really used LCDOUT or an LCD for that matter. Wasn't clearing the display, thinking I could just manipulate line 2 leaving line 1 intact. Silly me. --- thanks
