Hello
I have a parallax 4x20 lcd that I have got partially working with the testdriver.dll
The only problem is that the display takes hex commands for the "gotoLine" values ( eg. HEX command 80 to go to the start of line 0 on the display) in the config file. How can I specify hex values for it to send?
PS I attached its datasheet. Its all I know about the display, so this will hopefully make all of us on the same page: http://www.parallax.com/Portals/0/Downl ... D-v3.0.pdf

Re: Test Driver
I think you just give the decimal equivalents i.e.
GotoLine1=128
GotoLine2=148
GotoLine3=168
GotoLine4=188

GotoLine1=128
GotoLine2=148
GotoLine3=168
GotoLine4=188

Re: Test Driver
Dave is right. You should be able to translate the hex values into decimal. You need to specify the values in decimal for the test driver.
