:( for anyone who read my thread over here : http://www.lcdforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3432 you would see that I figured out how to get it working with my BASIC Stamp and all was well :) all was well until I tried to mount my 100% working LCD into a project box to make it look nice and snapped...

No problem

I am using it in a project that will control the water temps, quality, ect of a fish tank and I'll be sure to post pics and stuff when its finished

***************PROBLEM SOLVED*************** I found the fix to this little problem on the Parallax forums. Turns out it was a simple problem with the way my code ended. So I was using this SEROUT 1, 32, [254, 88] SEROUT 1, 32, ["TEST" ] END The above code gave me the stupid character and ...

Paradigm, I did not mean to sound rude or anything with my last post and it seems now that I know it is a bug I found a nice easy work around in my BASIC Stamp 2 code. Everything is fine baud rate wise as far as I can tell, but I having another problem with a weird character on the screen and I hope...

I am talking to people on the BS2 s...

Ok....

So, duh me for trying to use uproject at 19200 baud in TTL mode since that sure could be a...

Thanks for the speedy reply! I have attached 2 images that I hope will help. One is the back of the display that you asked for and please let me know if you need any names or numbers from chips that are unclear. the other is the a shot of what gets displayed when I try to output "123" on m...

Hi! I ended up buying a LK204-25-PC rev1.2 a few years back for my case mod and was very pleased with it. After ditching the case it was build into ages ago I stopped using this nifty little LCD until today when I wanted to put it to work on a new project. Now, I am a bit rusty since its been awhile...
