Another day, another question.

What code can be used to print signs that are not allready specified for the hitachi lcd.
I know as much as this for the sign i want to print:

In decimal:  16,16,16,16,16,16,16
In hex:  0x10,0x10,0x10,0x10,0x10,0x10,0x10
In binary:  %10000,%10000,%10000,%10000,%10000,%10000,%10000

There is a command in the control chip to set the character generator ram which is then followed by however many writes you need to program your characters.

A read of the datasheet should give you enough information to do it, look for the section on CGRAM.

But i will give it a true in the future when my knowledge is greater...

Phil,

Yes that is a good site, that is actually the one i used to find out the listed information in my first post.
The knowledge i lack is how to write a code or what command to use to get it displayed on the LCD.

Thanks,
