You are correct...using just P0 (SEROUT 0...) will be perfectly fine since you are not asking the LCD for any information. Do you have the LK162-12 set up to communicate via the 4 pin connector? Please see section 2.1.5 on how to accomplish sending data via the 4 pin connector. Just to clarify...you...

Hi Jay, Thank you for posting on our forums. Is your Allen Bradley micro logic PLC communicating in TTL mode or RS232 mode? The complete manual with appropriate command set is available at the following link: http://www.matrixorbital.ca/Manuals/legacy/ This is our new support page for Matrix Orbital...

Hello,

Thanks for the post. In your device manager, what is the device listed as in Ports (COM & LPT) and in the Universal Serial Bus controller sections?

To send serial communication from the Basic Stamp to the display at 19200 baud you would need to send the following command syntax: '{$STAMP BS2} SEROUT 1, 84, [254] 'Command Prefix SEROUT 1, 84, [88] 'Clear screen command One more question...What are you using to connect the display to the BS2? Are...

Hello,

Thanks for posting on our forums. Can you tell me if your LK162-12 is configured for TTL communication? What baud rate is your Basic Stamp set up for?

To be perfectly honest the hardware UART for RS232 works much more effectively for handling data. Because of how the UART is implemented, we can buffer the data much more easily. With this being said, we are still limited to a 96 byte buffer and when graphics are being drawn, it doesn't take long fo...

You are absolutely correct about more processing power is required when lagrer fonts are used and when graphics are being drawn. This is a limitation of the microcontroller and something we are currently addressing in regards to our next generation of graphic displays!! If you can be patient with us...

Would you be able to send one byte per transaction with a 10mS delay between...i know this is not ideal however it will give us some insight to what is happening...?

I'm currently testing a GLK24064-25 as we speak and it's working flawlessly! I'm bit bashing using a PIC16F877A. The display will never NACK is it does not have this capability, but it will always ACK as you have stated. The demo program that I'm running will loop through the font accordingly. Can y...

Do you think it is possible that a NACK indication is occurring and causing conflict between our device and the master. Since our displays are unable to NACK properly, this may cause a conflict and the SDA line is being held low. Would you be able to bit bash, rather than using the hardware I2C? If ...
