I created an account just so i could log in and say to you THANKYOU for this. it helped me so much and saved me so much time. I now have my 16x2 LCD working nicely.
The only issue i need to solve now is when displaying a value, which is for example being read from an analogue pin, and that value is for example 1234 and then the value drops down to say 99 there seems to be some retention of the previous chars. e.g. in this case i will see 9934 on the display. i need to figure out why the chars arent cleared. oh the fun.
but thanks so much again. your my favourite person at the moment.
