Hello

When you are trying to write to lines 3 and 4 you must use the y position of 2 and 3.

Eg cursor (0,3) - 4th line - character 1

If you increase the size of the LCD in the the LCD component properties then does the program simulate correctly.

I have tried to find the datasheet for your LCD to make sure it is compatible but have been unable to find one. If you have a link to a datasheet then I can have a better look.

The LCD is from Farnell part No 501-6447
And im using 0.4 to send the curser to line 4 position 0.

Thanks

Hello Wayne

Line 4 is indexed as 3.

Eg Line 1 is 0

So to write to lines 3 and 4 you will have to use

0,2 or 0,3
