For any who have a similar issue to me, in that sending character 10 displays a 13 pixel wide bar, the solution was obvious once I looked at the numbers, 10 being the line-feed character and 13 being carriage-return.

The linux terminal I was using to write to the display (/dev/tts/0 in my case ...

The documentation for the LCD2041 lacks any detail of how the horizontal bar characters are made up or how the characters are used, so some questions:

1)
Is it possible to display horizontal graphs in both directions at once? uProject's demo would imply it should, but doesn't display properly (this ...

I don't know about the other because it's not in my possesion at the moment. I'll get a returns number when I've bought some more in to replace this one, thanks.

I can confirm that uProject also has the problem with the horizontal bar graphs being incorrect - during the demo the bars jump erratically. The right-to-left bar graph is even more screwed up.

Testing with exact commands reveals that when doing a left-to-right bar graph (direction 0), sending ...

I'll try uProject as soon as I can, in the meantime I think I'll just buy another display and see if it's the same.

With regards to "factory reset", is there such a function available?

Thanks for your help

Given that I can do pretty much everything else this display is capable of flawlessly, I doubt it's my inability to send the number 10 :p

Is there a way for me to reload the unit to it's default configuration and try that? Failing that can I please send this back to you for exchange?

I just realised a typo mistake in my original post. I meant bank 1, not 0, in the following part:

I have tried setting custom horizontal bar characters by programming bank 0, but even after loading them instead of the defaults I get the same result. I have only set the first 5 characters of bank 0 ...

Is the result supposed to be sent back down the serial line or displayed on the LCD screen?

I get nothing back when I read after sending that command, but when I do read, a "V" is printed on the display, which would imply the version is v5.6

Hi,

I bought 2x LCD2041 from you a few months back for prototype work, and I now want to use them in the final product, however..

The two I have work flawlessly for 99% of operation (RS232, 19200 baud), but I have problems whenever I try to send the value 10 as part of a command.

The commands ...
