Eureka!! it works now, just had to space out some bugs here and there... but it works. I programmed it to 19.2 k baud, had SEROUT 2, 32, [.....]... i connected Tx pin to pin 2, it works, now i'm happy. thanks for your help though. it was helpful. later this week i'll explain the final project and ...

ok, so i've tried this: connected the Tx pin to Pin 1, where the SEROUT code is outputting. i get "hello world" with a whole lot of triangle characters being generated... what's this about hmmm...??

i connected what you said. and ran the program exactly what you wrote. but it still does nothing. again, about the triangle character beside the "M", what is this? again, no program works when the Rx is connected to the SEROUT defined pin....

ok, so here's the scoop, i've done everything that you've suggested. changing the jumpers, the code, making sure it operates in TTL, and yet nothing is working... hmmm... when i change the jumpers like in figure 13 of section 2.1.8, then power up the LCD, i get the usual startup screen, but there is ...

ok, i'll try that... but what i've also done is section 2.2.8, where it explains about TTL communications and changing those jumpers... those jumpers need to be changed also right?

i'm using the 4 pin connector with a breadboard cable. i'm connecting the Rx to pin 0. which would mean i would have to program it as "SEROUT 0..." right? i'm not using the Tx pin.... should i be using that pin if all i'm doing is sending information to the LCD? or do i have to use it in order for ...

ya, it is set up for TTL. but how can you tell what the basic stamp is set for? is it :

SEROUT 0, 19200 [$FE, $47] <---- that number? or is it something else? (note: this is how i am trying to program the LCD to work...). Hypothetically though, if i did not have the LCD set up for TTL, how would i ...

Hello out there.

i'm trying to run my newly aquired LK162-12 LCD display off of a basic stamp 2. I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to do this. i'm currently using SEROUT commands, and the stamp is sending it all fine and dandy, but nothing appears whatsoever, no matter what i program the ...
