Thanks Troy. No big deal for me.
Also check the description for "blinking block cursor on" in the Rev3 manual section 5.14.

On: decimal 254 74
Off: decimal 254 75
Correct? Not happening here in code or uProject on v5.4 or v6.0.
What am I missing?

Hello....

There may be an error in the manual:
VK204-25_rev_20.pdf
Unless I'm totally reading it wrong....
As it is the weakend, I do not have a unit in front of me to verify it.
Just looking over the code / manual and found a couple of anomalies.
Will triple check on Monday ...

Thanks, Raquel.

The last order we received for six each VK204-25 came in with the Rev 2.0 boards. After looking at the revised manual and the PCN dated July 13, 2006, it appears that the I2C and RS232 protocols can no longer be used simultaneously. Is this true?

Thanks for your offer, but interposing another FET will be easy, if I decide to go that route.

This is my last product using an MO display, LK204-25.

The next product will use a VK204-25, much easier to see.

Was hoping to utilize a GPO and eliminate 2 more wires to the front panel.
Since this product is scheduled for release in April, switching displays is not an option.
Will look for a 5v beeper with similar dB output.

Since the GPOs are open collector outputs, can one be used to sink a 12v @ 7ma beeper?
Using an external supply not connected to the display except for the common, of course.

Perhaps other users would like this info as well?
I _do_ appreciate the very quick response.

Auto repeat stops, but sends key down/key up codes, as stated in the manual.
As another test, I ran uProject and it does not stop the auto repeat either.

That is correct: a key is still repeated after issuing 254 96. Cycling the power stops the repeat. The pause within the Akr_off sub was not in the original code; I tried that after posting the code as another test.

Good point.
I put a pause within Akr_off to display a message and wait for a key to see if the sub is being called. Sure is.

[quote="Raquel"]Thanks for posting. I do not see any reason for the module not to follow command 254 96 and turn off auto repeat mode. Do you mind sending a piece of your code?[/quote]

Using a keypad via RS232 to an Atmel microcontroller board. Everything works fine except for a problem with the auto key repeat mode. It turns on with 254 126 0 for typematic mode. When I send 254 96, it does not turn the repeating off. What am I missing?
