Hi

Newbie here - got a basic flash a LED working.

Moved on to using the dallas temp sensor.

This I got working fine.

I'm now trying to use the AXE033 (Serial LCD Kit) - I've connect the LCD's +V to the 5v line, and -v to ground and the IN to output 0 on the CHI030 board.

I've tried this basic code:

Code: 
init: pause 500 
main: serout 7,N2400,(254,128)
serout 7,N2400,(“Hello!123”)
end
I get no output on the LCD! Any ideas?

Thanks

Phil

Since you are connected to Output 0, change your program to:
Code: 
init: pause 500 
main: serout [B][COLOR="Red"]0[/COLOR][/B], N2400, (254,128)
serout [COLOR="red"][B]0[/B][/COLOR], N2400, (“Hello!123”)
end

also, in my display, you can't see the letters before you turn the contrast-pot all the way to the right.

thanks westaust55.

Copy and paste error I copied the code from the document (PDF) for the AXE033.

I had changed my code to '0'.

I've found the answer - found a archived post here. You can't connect a serial LCD on this project broad on the outputs due to the Darlington driver IC.

The post points out the the is three small solder pad on the project broad near to the normal Output 0. On of these pad is the connection into the line between the Picaxe and the Darlington. I connected the LCD Serial in to this and now work.
