HD44780 LCD Command Set emulation?

Post by jadiflow »

Hello,

I noticed that in Flowcode you can sent control commands directly to the LCD, e.g. 'cursor on' (hex 15). But that is not shown of the simulator display, right? Are there any commands that *are* simulated and can be verified during a sim?

Only the commands that are accessed via their own functions are currently simulated (e.g. MoveCursor and Clear).

I think we'll implement a load of others (inc the custom characters described in another post), but not immediately. We are currently working on a big upgrade of Flowcode (to v4).

It's far too early to give a definite date, but we're aiming for the end of 2008.

As for the new features, I don't want to give away too much at this stage...
