are you using the Matrix Orbital demo? Yes, I have the same problem, there's nothing wrong with your LCD, it's the software.

you mean it's possible to "update" the firmware? I thought the square PIC's weren't updateable nor readable? Or will you just ask them back and send new ones? That I guess would be a very expensive customer-support... There's a way to get it working, LCDriver does it...

LCDriver makes it's own large digits... our looks nicer though :grin:

OK, here is the skinny on the fat...

the manual for the descimal value of the large digit is wrong... it says 23 and it should be 35...

So here is the process...

0xFE
110

0xFE
35
[col]
[digit]

Thanks Mat!!!

Updating all the manuals right now... :sad:

Aeris and with LCDC following the instructions Mat-d-Rat gave. The bars still don't work properly too (let me guess: LCDriver uses its own custom characters for it?)

i have tried all the way to have large digit on the LK204-25-PC that I have found on this forum and that doesn't work ! i have never seen any large digit on my screen. Can you tell us what to do with the firmware or the LCD itself or something...

(i have seen that there's a new big caracter option in LCDC, can you tell us how to set it up, this time, it will maybe works)

thx
