Thank to Henry I can now post (yay).
Anyways.
I was too lazy to write my own serial i/o program for anything, so I tried using lcdriver to play with the GPO's on my new 204-25pc and found it had no direct support. So i wanted to use sendcharacter and noticed it strips anything not within a range of characters so you can only use it for the custom chars and the standard letters and such. Anyways, I went and took out that limitation so I can now send 254+W/V or whatever else to send direct custom commands to my LCD.
I realize this kind of breaks the universal compatibilityness (is that a word?) of lcDriver, but if you are trying to make a quick program for your own use on your own LCD I find it handy.
Let me know if you want info on how to change it.
Also gonna post some pics of my LCD installation later.
