Graynomad:
That's quite nice, which way does the data entry work, I assume clicking on the "dots" in the graphic changes the code snippet.Also can it generate a 2-dimensional array for X number of chars?
Doesn't matter what you do, people always want more eh

Yeah that's right. Click a dot and the code is updated. The 16x2 only allows 8 custom characters so doing them individually seemed good enough. I had lots of other ideas to enhance it but KISS is working as I focus on the Arduino programming 
If / when I upload it I will post a link.
Have struggled with the Arduino IDE :-/ I am designing a replacement for that in my head. Eesh!
