parallel LCD

Post by billduck »

I note that in FC v5, you could choose the size of an LCD (2x16,4x20...) I am not seeing that option in FC 6. Am I missing something?
I am a registered user of FC 6, but using a demo version of FC6, as my main computer is being repaired.

Hi billduck,
QMESAR is correct.
The best way is to search for LCD then add LCD (Generic):
add LCD1.png

Then select LCD component on the panel and right select properties:
add LCD2.png

You will be able to select desired number of columns and rows.

Thanks. I'm a new user of FC. I only looked under the Output tab - see screenshot below.

There are too many components in FC6 to list without the lists in the tabs becoming too large and cluttered. So the lesser used components are 'hidden' and can be found using the search option. (There is actually an option in the program settings that allows the tabs to expand [there will be a down arrow at the bottom] to show all entries.)

Thanks. I am jazzed because I got an LCD with push buttons to work the first time. Now to code the push buttons. I'm really glad I don't have to code in C.
But I can not find settings - but I can find Global Options.

That is where you need to be. See the highlighted check mark in the screen shot for the correct option.
