|
Data 0 (11 / 7) |
| Data pin 0 - Connects to Data 4 on the hardware in 4-bit mode or Data 0 in 8-bit mode | |
|
|
Data 1 (12 / 8) |
| Data pin 1 - Connects to Data 5 on the hardware in 4-bit mode or Data 1 in 8-bit mode | |
|
|
Data 2 (13 / 9) |
| Data pin 2 - Connects to Data 6 on the hardware in 4-bit mode or Data 2 in 8-bit mode | |
|
|
Data 3 (14 / 10) |
| Data pin 3 - Connects to Data 7 on the hardware in 4-bit mode or Data 3 in 8-bit mode | |
|
|
Register Select (4) |
| Register Select Pin - Informs the display if a command or data is about to be sent. | |
|

|
Remap Characters |
| Used to allow characters to be replaced with alternate characters. Custom characters or characters from the LCD memory map can be used as replacements. Each replacement consumes two bytes of RAM memory and is applied automatically when printing strings. | |
|
|
Delay Timings |
| Delay in microseconds used in the display send function. Most displays will work with the default value of 100us. Some displays may need a slightly longer delay, 166us is known to work well. | |
|
Background Color |
| Simulation only background colour, the actual hardware will have a fixed colour | |
|
|
Line Color |
| Simulation only line colour, the actual hardware will have a fixed colour | |
|
|
Text Color |
| Simulation only text colour, the actual hardware will have a fixed colour | |
|
Font |
| Font to use for simulation, the actual hardware will have a inbuilt fixed font. | |
