Hi

I am using LCDriver to display my menu and i am now wanting to accept keypresses from my keypad.
How do i do this? I have another serial library which i can recieve the characters but how do i use the 2 together?

Do i have to free the display from LCdriver and then check for any characters and then display the menu again?

How long does it take to do? Meaning, i have to do this inside an MPEG decoding loop, will this be quick enough?

I cant see another way of doing this, just checking that i am going about it the right way.

Thanks

It is fine now, i rewrote the lcdriver functions with a standard serial library.

By the way, for anyone as new to this serial nonsense as i am....

Found this c++ library much easier to use than other ones i looked at.
