ok, i now have a completely working LCD program it runs in the background, needs some "jazzing" up, its usefull as long as you have the source -

it displays CPU and RAM usage
its good for the basics a good starting point usefull if you need to start your own project
remember this was programmed for MY LCD and the source isnt to readable so let me know if you want to know something

ok, im haveing troubles
i can turn my LCD backlight off
Code: Select all
MSComm1.Output = Chr$(&HFE) & Chr$(&H46)
but not on
Code: Select all
MSComm1.Output = Chr$(&HFE) & Chr$(&H4F) & Chr$(&H0)
i think its got something to do with the last segment
what SHOULD be there ?

I think you have a mistake...
MSComm1.Output = Chr$(&HFE) & Chr$(&H4F) & Chr$(&H0)
you said &H4F which is wrong, it should be &H42

I'm looking this thread and I'm confused about your Chr$ use... Why dont you use Chr$ like this (this code works OK) :
Public Function Light_On(Optional Minutos As Byte)
With MSComm1
.Output = Chr$(254)
.Output = Chr$(66)
If Minutos < 1 Or Minutos > 255 Then
.Output = Chr$(0)
Else
.Output = Chr$(Minutos)
End If
End With
End Function
