Writing custom characters to LCD display

[ELROJO_85]

HI DEAR ELECTRONIC HOBBYST:

I'M FROM MEXICO AND I REALLY WANT TO LEARN ABOUT THIS TOPIC HOW TO CREATE MY OWN CHARACTER, BUT I DON'T REALLY KNOW HWAT HAPPENED I HAVE TROUBLES ON THE SIMULATION WITH PROTEUS ALL OF YOUR EXAMPLES AND ONLY ONE WORKS THE EXAMPLE THAT IS POSTED ON THE NUMBER 8, BATT LEVEL BUT ALL OF THE OTHER ONES DOESN'T WORKS I HAVE TRIED IN MANY WAYS, I USE PIC BASIC PRO TRYING TO CHARGE MY OWN PROGRAM ON A PIC16F877A CHEK IT OUT !

COULD SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT'S GOING WRONG ??

DEFINE LCD_DREG PORTD
DEFINE LCD_DBIT 4

DEFINE LCD_RSBIT 1
DEFINE LCD_EREG PORTD
DEFINE LCD_EBIT 3

LCDOut $FE,$60,$00,$0a,$0a,$00,$00,$11,$0e,$00 ; #4 Smiley Face


Pause 1000

For LoopCount = 1 TO 80
LCDOut 4
Next LoopCount

GoTo MAIN


THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND IF SOMEBODY COULD TELL ME HOW TO PUT IN ON WORKING, THAT COULD BE GREATE !! SEE YOU SOON HAVE A NICE DAY

Maybe try

LCDOUT $FE,1,4

HEY DAVE, THANKS A LOT MAN I REALLY APRECIATE THAT HELP BY YOURSELF.
YEAH, I KNOW I SHOULD WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN I'M PROGRAMMING jajaja WILL NOT BE DE DEVIL IF I KILL MYSELF PROGRAMMING WITHOUT IT !! jaja WELL LET ME TRY ANOTHER EXAMPLES MAN

THANKS A LOT AGAIN

I try to display some characters, using this code :

; http://www.darreltaylor.com/files/CustChar.htm

  LCDOUT  $FE,$40,$04,$0A,$04,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00  ' Cust Char #0      degree Celsius
  LCDOUT  $FE,$48,$0A,$1F,$11,$11,$11,$11,$11,$1F  ' Cust Char #1      empty batt
  LCDOUT  $FE,$50,$0A,$1F,$11,$11,$11,$11,$1F,$1F  ' Cust Char #2      1/5 batt
  LCDOUT  $FE,$58,$0A,$1F,$11,$11,$11,$1F,$1F,$1F  ' Cust Char #3      2/5 batt
  LCDOUT  $FE,$60,$0A,$1F,$11,$11,$1F,$1F,$1F,$1F  ' Cust Char #4      3/5 batt
  LCDOUT  $FE,$68,$0A,$1F,$11,$1F,$1F,$1F,$1F,$1F  ' Cust Char #5      4/5 batt
  LCDOUT  $FE,$70,$0A,$1F,$1F,$1F,$1F,$1F,$1F,$1F  ' Cust Char #6      full batt

.....

char_batt:
batt = TmpW / 100        ; (TmpW is war word ; reading ADC)
select case batt
case batt < 105
char = 1
case batt => 105 and batt =< 115 
char = 2
case batt => 116 and batt =< 125
char = 3
case batt => 126 and batt =< 130
char = 4
case batt => 131 and batt < 144
char = 5
case batt => 144
char = 6
end select
return

...

if (temperature2/100) =>10 then
LcdOut $FE, $c0, "O:", Sign2, DEC (Temperature2 / 100), ".", DEC Temperature2 dig 1, 0 , " " , char ," ", dec TmpW dig 4,dec TmpW dig 3,",",dec TmpW dig 2
else
LcdOut $FE, $C0, "O:", Sign2, $14, DEC (Temperature2 / 100), ".", DEC Temperature2 dig 1, 0 , " ", char , " ", dec TmpW dig 4,dec TmpW dig 3,",",dec TmpW dig 2
endif

But I have on display just char # 1 ; do not change in # 2 to 5 ...
What I do wrong ? Thanks !

Custom characters...
and results (no changes).

[fratello]

I found another way :

char_batt:
if TmpW dig 3=0 then symb = 1
if TmpW dig 3=1 then symb = 2
if TmpW dig 3=2 then symb = 3
if TmpW dig 3=3 then symb = 4
if TmpW dig 3=4 then symb = 5
return

How many costum characters can I make to show on LCD display and If I write a text,and I want to show a character,will be the character stored in the memory of the LCD,or the text will be stored?
