Display "0" on LCD

[ghoot]

Hello,
I have noticed that any number ending in zero "0" will not display on an LCD. I set up a loop something like this:

FOR i=0 to 100
LCDout #i
Sleep 2
next i

and every time a number that ended in zero (0,10,20,30 etc.) was reached, the LCD was blank. Any ideas?

I would guess something in the lcd controller is defective. Have you tried another lcd?

Hi,
The LCD is a 2x8 display. I've used 2 of the same brand "Crystalfontz", but haven't tried a different brand. Maybe that could be the problem. I hope not, cause I like the ones they have.

Well, 4 years later and I'm not much smarter and I still have the same problem. :-) Since zero is considered a terminator for a string, I guess this has something to do with the issue? Is there some way to tell PBP to use some other character as the terminator? Really strange that no one else has this issue. The display is a crystalfontz CFAH0802A-YYH-JP. Any ideas would sure be apreciated.

Try this:
i var word
FOR i=0 to 10000
LCDout $fe, $80, DEC5 i
next i

i var word
FOR i=0 to 10000
LCDout $fe, $80, DEC5 i
next i

Thanks for the code. I gave it a try, but still no go, the LCD stills goes blank as soon as a number ending in zero is displayed. I'm guessing something to do with zero being a "terminator". Not real sure what that means. The LCDout command above uses a bunch of code. I have to delete a bunch of text out of other LCDout commands to get it to compile using:

LCDout $fe, $80, DEC5 i

instead of

LCDout #i

Just use the code in the post above, and only that code, nothing else (except for maybe some initialization code)
What else are you running, or trying to run at the same time?
It sounds to me like you've got other things going that we're all not able to see for some reason or another. All this talk about a 'terminator' basically doesn't really apply. There is no real 'terminator' to speak of like a 'null' when using strings in VB or the like.
What version of PBP are you using?
