I have been using I2C to communicate from an Atom to Matrix Orbital displays for a while now. It is a wonderful and easy way to join these to units, using the Atom internal pullup resistors makes the interconnect very simple as external pullup resistors are not required. But I had some difficulty at ...

Hi Jake,

I looked through the latest Stamp manual and found some information that you would be interested in.
On page 294 it states that the speed for the Serout command runs anywhere between 608 and 115200. It is not limited to 9600.
Table 5.84 on page 297 gives various baudmode numbers for some ...

I have used the LK series of displays with a BS2. But if I remember correctly the speed was set with jumpers.

I notice that the documentation for both the BS2P and the GLK mentions I2C. Have you considered the possibility of using I2C instead of serial? I currently have several projects on the go ...

I just split apart a VFD2041 as well as a LCD2041 to remove the DB-9. Both projects were successful, but working slowly and carefully is the key. On one board I cut the pins, but on the other board I used a solder-sucker on the front side and soldering iron between the boards, to remove the header ...

That was not what I wanted to hear, but thank you for replying.

I have a VFD 2041 display and my application calls for the 2nd row of the display to be brighter than the 1st, 3rd and 4th.

What would I need to do to dim the 1st, 3rd and 4th lines by approximately 50%?

Thank you.

Ken
