Hi

I have been using the LCD examples that came with the IDE, I have had no problems with the Hello World one and scrolling text one, But the Custom Character one when I run it comes up with the following error:



CustomCharacter.cpp: In function 'void setup()':
CustomCharacter:114: error: call of overloaded 'write(int)' is ambiguous
C:\Users\Scott\Documents\Arduino\arduino-1.0.1-windows\arduino-1.0.1\libraries\LiquidCrystal/LiquidCrystal.h:82: note: candidates are: virtual size_t LiquidCrystal::write(uint8_t)
C:\Users\Scott\Documents\Arduino\arduino-1.0.1-windows\arduino-1.0.1\hardware\arduino\cores\arduino/Print.h:49: note:                 size_t Print::write(const char*)

Being new to the programming side I am at a loss as to how to fix this error.

Any Help on this matter would be appriciated!!

Thanks

Scott.

Change

Code:

  lcd.write(0);

to

Code:

  lcd.write((byte)0);

on line 115ish.

why did u use the ""lcd.write((byte)0);""" instead of "lcd.write(0);"   ???  1 thing i know that if we use lcd.write(0); then complier will show "call of overloaded 'write(int) is ambiguous." why we use the byte in lcd.write() function.???
