Hi,
I have a 16*2 LCD that I have managed to get sample code working with. There is something different about this display though. Instead of a 2nd row of characters there are 16 pre-defined segments. For example "kwh", what looks like "kvah", some triangles, and some various others.
Has anyone had experience using these types of displays.
I was trying to get the 2nd line working last night but thought I must have a faulty display, as I assumed that it was 2 rows of 16 chars. Then as I was leaving for work this morning I noticed that they were pictograms. It was bugging me so much I had to post here as I haven't found any references to them online. Would it be a case of writing 0xFF to the position that I wanted illuminated.
I have attached a photo of the screen you can just about make out the shape outlines if you look carefully.
Any ideas, suggestions, or links would be greatly appreciated.
