Serial LCD syntax help

[Archangel]

Hi Joe,

I got a hold of several of the kits that have the phanderson chip in them and NOW I see what your were referring to. What a hassle it was figuring out their code versus the straight forward method that I was referring to.

Thank you for the education!!!!

Hi Bob,
Yep I have one of those backpack units, it works pretty well. The issue I have is I do not want to be stuck with a single source for serial displays. His formatting codes are just that, His. And someone up the street is using their own too, so how do you code to make use of more than ! source? That is why the code in the thread listed uses the same format as LCDOUT. Nothing extra to learn and remember, and easy to port back and forth.
