Newbie help with PicBasic and Noritake Display

Dec 29, 2004 1 Replies

Hello all,



I am just getting started with my first Basic Stamp project, and it sure is neat! I have done plenty of PLC programming before and its so cool to have similar functionality in such a small, affordable unit!



Anyhow, I have a Noritake CU20025CPB-T20A Serial VFD display. I set the jumpers to 9600/No Parity. I can send it text and it displays fine. I just have a question about how to access the special features of the display, such as clearing the screen, turning the cursor off, etc. I downloaded the spec sheet, and for example, it says "Clear Display-



0EH". What do I do with this information? Hehe, my newbie-ism is shining brighter and brighter here, forgive me :). I tried serout'ing "0EH" and it just prints "0EH" on the display. I kinda figured that wasn't it. Anybody know what to do here?

Thanks a ton! CoogarXR



fine.

Don't you just hate that when you figure something out right after you post? In answer to myself, convert the Hex 0EH to Decimal 14 and serout [14]. Taa-daa...

Thanks for humoring me... CoogarXR
