LCD displaying problem..

Feels like I am at the Church of the Blessed PIC!

Ok so here is a prime example of why you should read the entire section of the commmand.

I glazed over it to get to the defines section so I could change the default port from A to D. I totally skipped the section on memory mapping.

If I had read it, it would not have been such a revelation that the "commands" has they are refered to (in the manual) are actually "pointers" (for lack of a better term) to memory location within the LCD. I thought it was all PBP thing. Not LCD specific. Now I now...hahaha

I am going to go over the Datasheet for the HD44780 when I get a sec. Cause I bet I can finally figure out how they do scrolling (horizontal and vertical). But for now still working on my Keypad project...

Thanks you two! Time here is never wasted in my opinion. I learn something new each and everytime I come in here.

Oh and by the way...I have just (like a month ago) ordered the upgrade from MElabs to 2.47. My orginal (your not gonna belive this) came on a FLOPPY! So I ordered the printed manual as well. My manual is the same as the online version. I am a bit old school (Still have my old TI Logic Databooks!) I like having the printed book. You can order just the manual from MELabs for like 10-15 bucks...

Thanks again everyone!

Ask (search) about BIG number whenever you feel ready. Someone made a really nice routine to display 4*4 number on LCD.
