Customised characters on LCD
Posted: Fri May 06, 2011 6:52 am
Hello everybody,
I'm trying do create a special character on a 2-line, 16-character LCD. I think I know, how it works
at the LCD side but failed so far, implementing it in Flowcode 4. I assume, it's the WRITE_RAM
macro in the LCD component macro, where the 1. parameter is the GCRAM address and the
others the "pixels" of the character. Is this assumption correct? And if so, how do I get this
character onto the display.
An other question is also, how to retrieve a character from CGRAM and display it on the panel?
Regards
