Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Geoff (and all), I'm using a 4 line x 16 Character LCD, the character positioning doesn't seem to work. It seems like there is an assumption that the LCD is 20 Chars wide. Lines 1 and 2 are OK but 3 and 4 are offset 4 Chars to the right. This is the same using LCD, 1, 1, "XYZ" or LCD, 1, C16, "XYZ" Maybe the LCD statement could have a definition of the LCD connected? e.g. LCD INIT 2, 3, 4, 5, 23, 24, 4X16 or 2X20 or 1X16 etc and... The Interrupt controller is on hold while the Micromite waits while the DS18B20 conversion process is occurring? Excuse me if I'm missing something... - Rob. For crying out loud, all I wanted to do was flash this blasted LED. |

hi, there have been various discussions about 4-line LCD displays having offset characters in the 3rd and 4th lines. it seems there are at least 2 different configurations of display hardware out there. people have kludged a solution in the past by applying offsets to the horizontal position for these lines with 4-line displays. geoff: is this something that could be revisited for the mk2 firmware, perhaps an extra (optional) parameter to the LCD initialization code? cheers, rob :-) |

Thanks, Jim, I should RTFM! (more closely) BTW - is your MMEdit webpage down? For crying out loud, all I wanted to do was flash this blasted LED. |

Yes. It went down sometime this morning. I hope that means that the hosting provider is working on the email problem I reported to them yesterday. If it stays down, I will provide an alternative site later. Here is an alternative: http://www.users.on.net/~tassyjim/MMedit.htm Jim VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |

My website went off air sometime this morning. I have been having problems with email lately and I hope the problem means the host provider is working on it. I can FTP and ping etc but no web server. Here is an alternative which I will probably make the main site soon. http://www.users.on.net/~tassyjim/MMedit.htm Jim VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |
