Hey Guys,

This is NOT my work...

We need to port this to CCS!

Holy crap...

EDIT: feel free to remove this if it violates any rules...
i just thought it was awesome and it be cool for others to know about.

Now THAT is an LCD driver. Clearly he has figured out ways to talk to the display. I agree with getting that ported to here would be cool.

Problem is that it won't do anything very useful. Remember how few characters can be user defined. You will note that the same display is repeated multiple times across the screen, because this is all that can be done...

I believe in this particular case what is happening is that the custom buffer gets re written with every display, in esence expanding the custom character buffer into the PIC.

so its not limited to the custom characters allowed to be stored in the LCD but in the PIC which is quite larger....

... i believe the reason it repeats its because he just didnt code more screens...

No matter how many characters you have coded in the PIC, the number that can be displayed at one time is limited by the hardware of the LCD. The CGRAM, only has a 6bit address send-able to it, so just 8 characters can be defined. If you look at the displays, this is the number of special characters used in each....
