Raquel, I think I found the problem, thanks to your suggestion of reading the output of the Tiger module through the uProject software. I noticed that after a simple command like clear screen: /254/88, the Tiger would send those two, as well as two others, and they were always the same: 0D and 0A ...

I just noticed a mistake in my first post. What I meant to say was: the cursor moves to the correct ROW ok, but always to the first column.
Might make a difference to understanding the problem

Sorry to keep posting like this. Another interesting fact is that we have an older lcd2041 Rev 1.5. If I talk to it from our Tiny Tiger module, we get the same result as the Rev 2.0 unit. But when we talk to it from a pc running a DOS version of Basic, there is no problem locating or moving the ...

Raquel, I played around with uProject, and found the upload tab and played with entering raw data. I can't actually enter the raw Basic text, it just prints it out as text. But I'm thinking maybe this is not what you meant? Is there a way of sending data from my Basic software package to uProject ...

Also forgot to mention that we can write data and txt to the display ok, just not to the spot we want.

Thanks for your reply Raquel,
I forgot to mention that I did try it with uProject, and the LCD is ok. I didn't know however that I can try the code through uProject, so I'll give that a go. By the way, the commands for clear screen, block cursor off and on, and underline cursor off and on work ok ...

LCD2041 rev 2.0 problem locating cursor with Basic

Hi guys,
we're trying to locate the cursor on a LCD2041 rev 2.0 lcd using the Basic command: PRINT #1, CHAR$(254);"G"; CHAR$(X); CHAR$(Y), where X and Y are column and row numbers. The cursor moves to the right column ok, but always to column 1. Also the move right command ("M"), has no response ...
