122x32 GLCD basic code

[mackrackit]

I have read the book over and over and still cannot reliably put characters in the right place on the display.
I sometimes have to use umpteen white space characters to get it right..like
LCDOUT $fe,1," What's up Doc?"
and when the LCDOUT is in a FOR-Next loop it screws up the placement of characters as well and in a random fashion?
Anybody?

If you want "What's up Doc?" (and I will paraphrase from the manual) try this

LCDOUT $FE,1  'Clears the screen
LCDOUT $FE,80+4,"What's up Doc?" 'Starts at line 1 four places right

No white spaces and reliable. Works the same for other lines too. $C0 is the second line --$C0+3 would be the second line 3 places to the right.

remember that 80+4 = 84 so $FE,84 works.

Seem to be doing better now, so thanks for that. At least I've been able to package my project as a demo at last, it's only taken a month to design my Single Event Data Logger
with LCD display.

I have a few of 132x32 LCD modules which use a KS0713 controller.
Does someone have some simple PICBasic Pro code I could try out on one of them.
I have used 2x20 displays OK but want to expand my knowledge a bit.
Much appreciated

------ forgive me.. not seems to be compatible after all ------

Looks like they're compatible enough....maybe just not for your SPECIFIC application.
The commands have basically the same bit patterns. There will need to be some changes in the source code because of the different numbers of pixels (122 vs. 132), but otherwise, it looks to be pretty much the same sort of thing.
