HI

I just received my easy ds4 and I have tried a few examples with leds which have worked, so now I moved on to the lcd examples on the website under books in the DS basic book and I'm not having any success.

1) I started a new project
2)went with the default settings pressed OK
3) put in code 8 bit version

dim txt as string[10]

main:
ADPCFG = $FFFF ' PORTB to be digital
Lcd8_Init(PORTB, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, PORTD, 0, 1, 2)
Lcd8_Cmd(LCD_CURSOR_OFF)
Lcd8_Cmd(LCD_CLEAR)

Lcd8_Out(1, 1, "mikroElektronika")
Lcd8_Out(2, 1, "2x16 LCD Testing")
end.

4)Compile
5 ) Then F11

What Is going on were am I making a mistake
Please note I have not registered my compiler does this limit use of this code, I have sent off the email.

Also Another question the library file(Consisting if bitmaps in example) for the Glcd is this put in the project file you create.

Cheers

Hi,

Your code should be like this:

Code: Select all

program TestingSomething     ' in program you should put name of the project

dim txt as string[10]


ADPCFG = $FFFF ' PORTB to be digital
Lcd8_Init(PORTB, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, PORTD, 0, 1, 2)
Lcd8_Cmd(LCD_CURSOR_OFF)
Lcd8_Cmd(LCD_CLEAR)

Lcd8_Out(1, 1, "mikroElektronika")
Lcd8_Out(2, 1, "2x16 LCD Testing")

end.
