2 wire LCD shield question

Post by tmig »

Does the two-wire LCD shield support custom characters? I looked but couldn't find a command to make them. Anybody have code
that might save me a little time and trouble?

Thanks

Tom

It doesn't support on-the-fly custom characters. All you can do is send it character codes from 0 to 255, which the display driver will look up in its ROM bitmap table.

Those bitmaps are fixed by the time the chip leaves the fab though.
