Introduction
Alphanumeric displays are used in a wide range of applications, including palmtop
computers, word processors, photocopiers, point of sale terminals, medical
instruments, cellular phones, etc. The 16 x 2 intelligent alphanumeric dot matrix
display is capable of displaying 224 different characters and symbols. A full list of
the characters and symbols is printed on pages 7/8 (note these symbols can vary
between brand of LCD used). This booklet provides all the technical specifications
for connecting the unit, which requires a single power supply (+5V).
Further Information
Available as an optional extra is the Serial LCD Firmware, which allows serial
control of the display. This option provides much easier connection and use of the
LCD module. The firmware enables microcontrollers (and microcontroller based
systems such as the PICAXE) to visually output user instructions or readings onto
an LCD module. All LCD commands are transmitted serially via a single
microcontroller pin. The firmware can also be connected to the serial
port of a computer.
An example PICAXE instruction to print the text
Hello using the serout command is as follows:
serout 7,T2400,(Hello)
