Dear all,
I took me about two hours of tinkering to discover that the only thing wrong with my display and setup was the contrast pot had to be turned a little . While I would have expected this to be stated somewhere in the manual we are past that and I have no problem displaying anything anywhere on the display.
I have two questions, though.
1) As many people have already written in these forums, one problem is speed. I can get okeish result with 16MHz, but at 32MHz I would not have anything to complain about. Is this possible? In one forum reply it is mentioned that you can get it up to 4800_32, but not more. That would suffice, but I don't seem to be able to get it to work by changing the code on the "sender". Do I have to adjust this in the firmware of the display picaxe 18M2+ as well?
2) I'm working with temperature readings. Sometimes it is a two digit number, sometimes it is three. The brutal code I'm using for testing for now looks like this:
The last "C" is for celsius. What happens when the temperature goes down to a two digit number, the C from the three digit number remains on and thus I get 60CC instead of 60C. How do I correct this?
Thank you for your time,
Edmunds
