Replacing array member on the fly (big LCD characters idea)

[Ioannis]

But I have issue with statement for dividing bit variable into two. Say I have %10101010. How should I divide it into two variables, one which has 5 bits from left, and another having 3 bits from right?

Something like this?

byte_var    var byte
a_left         var byte
b_left         var byte

byte_var=%10101010
a_left=byte_var & %11111000
b_left=byte_var & %00000111

Yes, but I was thinking about either <<, >> or DIG() operators...

[Ioannis]

then combine accordingly like that:

a_left=(byte_var & %11111000)>>3

to make it right justified if needed.

Found interesting thing. On power up, custom character area in normal LCD are empty, but on WS0010 OLED displays, they are filled with random numbers on power up.

On the custom character, unless explicitly stated, you should consider it full of rubbish.

Yes, but on LCD it is usually empty. On OLED - it is filled with different garbage on each power up.
Anyways, problem solved, also did some nice animation, will post code and video later.
