Hi all,

i've been looking at this topic for some time now.
I managed to get an original 3310 display and made some tests.

First i tried the INC solution but i got the "Truncated to code size" errors ( using 16F88 or 16F628A ).

Tried some examples posted here ( always changing ports to my configuration ) with a blank screen.

Tried the test file with big numbers and it worked.

Then moved to a 18F2550 micro-controller and once again the INC solution did not worked ( just had some ! simbols all over the place ).

The only solution i got was to use the INC file together with Gusse's sugestion on using "Gosub Lcd_SendChar" instead of "@ PrintStr" format.

This way works like a charm!

Do you guys know of an 18 pin chip that would work ( since it doesnt work with the 16Fs ) ?

Or Steve ( Mister-e ) will have a fresh new solution that will work on more chips ?

Regards

My solution should work with anything, at compile time it decide which macro to build/compile/use.

It should even work with many 12F... with some limitations.

Out of curiosity, which PIC didn't worked for you?

Hi Steve

I was using the 16F88

i was trying to use pic16f628a.

I have seen over the internet some others they succeed with pic12f629

[mister_e]

it could even work with a 10F, but probably not with PBP as it consume too much RAM, but that's another story

Note to self, always read previous posts sorry 'bout that...

Hi Steve,

you are right about being able to using it except of some Macro limitations.

It works like a charm with the 16F88 microcontroller IF i dont use the "@ PrintStr x,y, "string goes here"" . But...IF i use that i get the truncated errors.
