Anderson LCD 108 Kit

[helipilotpete]

I have torn what little hair out that I have trying to get this kit to work with a PICAxe. Has anyone been successful?
Initially I thought the problems were to do with the serial input needing to be forced high before any data is sent. That cured some problems (such as the dropping of the first character) but I now find that the cursor positioning using the ?x and ?y does not work for xvalues less that 10!!!
Trying to send a string of control characters and text as per Peter A's example does not work nor does putting pauses in to try and let everything to catch up.
I started with an 18X but Peter A recommended using PICAxe's that use a resonator so I changed to a 28X - guess what not a complete solution.

Help Please!!!

Regards Peter

Have you followed Peter's documentation and made sure that the number following the ?x has two digits, that is, for numbers less than ten there must be a leading zero ?

PS : It often helps to provide a link to relevant web pages and show code snippets so that people don't have to guess at possible problems or solutions nor search for the information themselves, which they often won't and that leads to fewer responses.

Thanks Hippy.

I have just discovered the cause of my problems which are as you have suggested. I failed to notice the need for a two digit ?x value on Anderson's website.
