 Hello,
It is possible to read the position of the cursor, in text mode, of a GLCD with a T6963C controller?
Thanks |

I think the standard is to keep track of it yourself and then set it yourself to a given area. | Code: | 5.6.2 To set the position of the cursor onscreen, use ‘CURSOR POINTER SET’
For example for the cursor at 24h across, 03h down
status check
1st data Xadrs 24h
status check
2nd data Yadrs 03h
status check
Command 21h |
That is from datasheet page 12. Set cursor pointer. command 0x21 |

Keep in mind that the cursor((blinking underline)) is not related to the datapointer((writebyte('A'))) displays an 'A'
ie: I can have the cursor at 0,0 and display text at 2,2. |

| Thanks for the answer treitmey, but what really I want to know are, if there is some command or method to know the real position of the cursor, that is to say, to read the address of the cursor. |
