Well, I didn't write it. relix is doing it, and in Delphi, so he will know best (I'm sure he will pop up here soon :smile: ) Why are you running at 9600? LCDCenter runs at 19.2K deault?!?!?!!?!?!?! But a good bug to know about... I have a couple as well... 1. Auto detect crashes the program 2. When ...

Well, I think it might be time

Well, first of all, place a jumper on the middle two pins of the keypad, then power the display up. Then youshould be able to turn on Alpha Demo, st the right Comm Port and se it at 19.2K speed. Try to turn the ack light on and off and see if you have comunication. If you do, take the jumper off, cl...
