DIGOLE 240x64 GRAPHIC LCD max Charachters

Hi

I am using the digole 240x64 graphic lcd (I2C-communicated)
The problem is that the screen seems to have a limit of maximum 40 characters (39-42).
Is that true, or is it due to programming problems.
When i try to put more characters on the screen it messes up the display totally.

here is a link to the display

best regards Bastian

Unless I am missing something here, you have a 240*64 pixel lcd graphic display, and you are expecting more than 40 text characters per row? What size font are you using? Since 240/40 =6 pixels per letter which is already very small, what were you expecting?

Edit: If you were to use the built in 4*6 font, you should reasonably be able to expect 60 characters per line.

I only have space for 40 characters on the hole display, otherwise i starts messing up. With the current font size, only 3/4 of the screen is in use. But it messes you the second i try to add more characters. if i delete some elsewhere i have no problem i adding more.

What Arduino board are you using?

It sounds like you are having memory problems, unrelated to the display.

I am using the arduino Mega 2560, it that the problem you think?

Problem solved!
I added some smal delay(50) between the writings to the lcd and it all works fine now :slight_smile:

Ah, ok, pleased you have figured it out! But you know in future, if you ask for help on the forums, it is a good idea to mention what hardware you are using, and list your example code.
