Examples

Example of a typical LCD pinout.

Connections

For the LCDs to work with the Flowcode LCD component they need to be connected up in 4-bit data mode.

The 4 data signals actually go to the upper data nibble on the LCD as shown below.

A simple example that shows how to use some common functions.

LCD Example

Macro reference

	Clear
Clears the entire contents of the display.
- VOID	Return

	PrintString
Breaks down a string of text and sends it to the LCD via the private RawSend(byte, mask) macro
- STRING	Text
Enter the text or variable to print to the LCD
- VOID	Return

	PrintAscii
Takes the ascii value for a character and prints the character
- BYTE	character
Holds an ascii value.
- VOID	Return

	PrintNumber
Based on v5 macro, will allow you to print a number. This is limited to a signed-INT, -32768 to 32767
- INT	Number
Enter the number or variable to print to the LCD
- VOID	Return
