help on 56f I need to display a value in a 16x1 lcd display

[fausto]

Hello,

I have an issue in which I need your help! I am developing an application in which I am using the only SCI channel that the 56F8013 has to send the data to the computer, but also I need to display a value in a 16x1 lcd display that uses RS232 format, My question is does anybody has a piece of code that help me to send the data through a GPIO pin in  RS232 format

I would higly appreciate your help

Thanks

Hi Fausto,

Take a look at AN2637 it may provide you with a start.

Or taking a step back and thinking...

Why are you using a 232 LCD? Most of them are a parallel one with a serialiser and 232 converter stuck on. Why not just use a parallel one in maybe 4-bit mode. A couple of more pins but less fooling around.

The only reason you use a serial one is because its easier, but its not easier if you don't have a serial port to plug it into!

Regards Peg
